Jesus Model For Ministry
I really enjoy Central Christian Church all staff meetings. It is an honor and a privilege to serve on this team. I truly wish each and every one of the Down Write Honest community could come and enjoy our staff meeting. Since you can’t enjoy them in person, I thought I would pass on some [...]
Bad Marketing
Bad marketing is everywhere. Cheap graphics, poor printing, and lazy campaigns abound when it comes to businesses in this country. I am just as guilty. I have sloppy signs and little time to take care of the hundreds of marketing things that need to happen in my little store. But what if I was running [...]
The Open Door
I heard a story from one of my volunteers over the weekend. She had traveled to Ft. Wayne Indiana to visit a company in the insurance business that she partners with. Anne was telling me that the company has an open door policy. Typically that means in a company or ministry that anyone can enter [...]
Life – An update
Life rushes at an unfathomable pace, sometimes I just wish I could push pause . . . and the baby isn’t even here yet! Maybe it is just me but 2010 seems to be flying by. Before I know it Alexis will be a teenager and I will be thinking about retirement. Okay maybe not [...]
Cancer Sucks!
I posted this on Twitter a few hours ago:

A few weeks ago I mentioned that Pastor Jud was in the middle of a series called Hijacked. It has been really tough to attend some of the services because they have really challenged some of the things that I struggle with: anger, worry, bitterness, etc. Honestly I think at some level we all struggle [...]
Botching it Big Time
Have you ever screwed up? Failed to meet the expectations placed upon you? Have you ever just flat out failed at something you attempted?
Over the weekend my wife and I were traveling in the car and a song came on the radio station by the band Delirious. All of the sudden out of no where [...]
AHA! – Free Conference
A few weeks ago I opened up a discussion about conferences and seminars that cost money but are being broadcast online for free. I wholeheartedly agree with my friend Kyle Reed that an online conference can not replace in person community that is created in the hallways of a conference. I however see the tremendous [...]
5 Places to Eat in West Las Vegas
It’s Sunday morning and I am tired. It has been a long week and a frustrating one at times. Buying a house, maintaining a strong work ethic, serving & supporting my pregnant wife, and digging into the topic of social injustice is just about as much as I can handle. Honestly, I need a break. [...]
