Came across a neat twitter today called @Tweetvo. Every day you get a devo in 140 characters or less that you can text or tweeter to others. It's a great tool for youth ministry. Here is just one sample from Feb. 27th. Love what it says: Christian convictions vary & thatz OK*B Tru 2 wut … Continue reading Twitter this and Twitter That

Lifeway at it again
Maybe you've heard by now or have seen this in stores recently but Lifeway Christian Stores have done it again in their quest to play the role of Holy Spirit in the lives of readers. In January, they put this disclaimer on their website and began placing “Please Read with Discernment™.” stickers on select books by … Continue reading Lifeway at it again
Crazy Sister Love
Today I turned in my devotion for our upcoming Lenten devotional book here at the church. It is a wonderful treasure of writings and art from members of our church and it is a blessing to read the thoughts and hearts of individuals that often don't get the opportunity to share. My devotion was based … Continue reading Crazy Sister Love
C-Group Aroma
Two weeks ago the weekly high school small group (we call them c-groups) that meets in my home multiplied into two groups. We had 12-14 kids coming consistently and it was too large for a small group. Not everyone could be heard. It was difficult to get through a lesson, etc. We had talked for quite … Continue reading C-Group Aroma
Dreaming Like Children
My 4-year-old nephew and I were hanging out at church before service ended. A friend said, "Aunt Moe would do anything for you, Blake." I said, "That's right. Blake - if you want the moon, I'd get it for you." Blake says, "What moon?" I said, "The moon in the sky. Do you think Aunt Moe … Continue reading Dreaming Like Children

Margaret Romph
On Friday evening, one of my youth girls, Erin, was involved in a car accident - along with her grandma and her little sister, Margaret. Erin broke her hand in the wreck and her grandma has some bruising from the seatbelt and I'm sure both are quite sore today from the impact. Along with these … Continue reading Margaret Romph
Interesting Mail Day
There were four items in my mailbox today: 1. Letter from my sponsored child in Kenya. 2. Letter from my sponsored child in Rwanda. 3. Packet from the America World Adoption organization. 4. The water bill. (not so exciting but small so that is good.) Just interesting to have such diversity in my mailbox related … Continue reading Interesting Mail Day
A Special Christmas Present
One of my former youth (graduated last year) made me this special Christmas video. I love it!! She put a lot of time into finding pictures (and she was fairly kind) and also my favorite song!! I love thoughtful gifts like this and the fact that she put so much time into. Makes a youth … Continue reading A Special Christmas Present
New Church in the Hood
I heard tonight about a new church plant in Jefferson City so I checked out the website to see what it was about. I was hopeful. Although I'm on staff at another church, there are more than enough people to love and serve in this community and a lot of different styles and communities are needed … Continue reading New Church in the Hood
