Okay - the bad news - we’ve yet to win a game.
Good news: We’re scoring touchdowns, throwing deep passes, getting safeties with double blitzes, running a hurry-up offense.
Bad news: It appears that it is next to impossible for a 9 year old to […]

We have 4 Confabs a year for our Life Group Leaders. “Confab” is short for “confabulation.” So as leaders we set aside 4 nights a year to eat and connect with each other for encouragement, sharpening, and to hear life-change stories from other Life Groups. Last Thursday night was our last one […]

The Bears meltdown last year could be linked to one thing and one thing only - the quarterback position. They went from being a couple plays out of the Super Bowl to the bottom of the NFC North. How? They couldn’t hold on to the ball, couldn’t move the ball, couldn’t put […]

It took 4 years for the government to figure out Bonds was lying? It took this long to get proof enough to indict? Why did it take this long? Every sports figure, agent, and […]

Had a seminary student call me today to interview me for their youth ministry class. Allison is a first year student at Denver Seminary. She spent two years as a missionary in Budapest, Hungary teaching in a school, an Aggie, knows my fam in Budapest, and is single but looking. (You can […]

So I’m ready to go home but the Rockies have called a 5 PM news conference to discuss the fiasco of the ticket sales or non-ticket sales this morning.
I’ll give you a play by play account. Meanwhile, the reaction in Denver is hot. I mean they are fuming mad and should be. […]
