This rollercoaster we call life

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007

It’s been one heck of a month for me. I’m in that bittersweet stage where I’m both very glad that my education is almost over while at the same time not wanting to be done. The week leading up to vtONE was a rollercoaster all by itself. There was so much still to be done […]

A crazy month!

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

It’s been a crazy month for me. I’ve accepted a full time position with Digital Sandbox as a project engineer. I helped the company move to McLean, VA. I’m looking for a house (I’m most interested in one in Reston), and am currently applying for loans. We’re also 10 days out from vtONE (updates will […]

Green pastures by way of death valley

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

A post from History in the Making: It’s tempting as a pastor to lead people on a comfortable path. Ahh, the love and appreciation you get. No one leaves the church. But it’s ultimately not the route God wants us to take. God doesn’t just lead us to green pastures. He leads us to green […]

Passion 07

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

I got back from Passion 07 last Thursday, but haven’t blogged about it yet. I came down with a cold Friday night that’s still with me, so I’ve accomplished a lot less than I’d like in the past few days. At Passion this year, there were over 22,000 college students in Atlanta for four days […]

Chick-Fil-A Bowl, Atlanta, and Passion 07

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007

The past few days I’ve been in Atlanta.  I drove in on Saturday with Chris for the Chick-Fil-A Bowl, formerly the Peach Bowl.  Unfortunately, our Hokies continued their bowl game tradition of choking.  Still, the game was exciting and well worth attending. After the game, we headed to Sno’s aunt’s compound for the night.  It’s […]

Break, Week 1

Sunday, December 24th, 2006

It’s been more than a week since classes ended. Well, actually, I have an assignment that I need to do sometime this week for one of last semester’s classes (long story), but I’ve enjoyed my week off. Several highlights from this week: Snowshoe – The conditions were the worst I’d ever seen at Snowshoe (only […]

Stolen post: I can’t believe they wrapped Jesus in an American flag

Thursday, November 9th, 2006

This is one of the best political posts I’ve read in a long time. Courtesy of History in the Making. I can’t tell you how many e-mails I got before Tuesday about the Christian values at stake in this election. The calls to prayer… the passionate pleas to mobilize our congregation… I haven’t heard from […]

First night at the prayer room

Monday, November 6th, 2006

Today, we officially opened the vtONE Prayer Room. The first half hour served as our time to dedicate the room to prayer. We had nine people (about the limit of what the prayer room can hold) come to the dedication. I’m excited about the prayer room and how God is going to use this place […]

Update to podcasts index

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

A little while ago when I made a list of podcasts I listen to, I had two podcasts on my wish list.  Well, it seems that John McGowan has pulled together a podcast of his Gathering messages.  The first one is up now, but I haven’t had the opportunity to check it out yet.  This […]
