Following Jesus

   Ok, so I've had at least three conversations in the last day about Twitter!  First of all I don't understand the phenomena, do people really care what I'm doing every moment of every day?  I know I don't care that the person in line in front of you just bought 10 packs of wrigley's spearmint gum.  However I have discovered that many people, students in particular really grasp on to the stream of updates by their friends and even total strangers. ...

Dear Parents,

What a week! I want to thank every mom who was able to join us for our first annual Mother’s Day Celebration! It was a great morning, I know I had a lot of fun and I hope you all did as well. It definitely gives us something to look forward to next year. Thanks to everyone who helped out with all of the details of Sunday morning as well, it wouldn’t have been a success without all the time and energy put in by everyone.

We also h...

Sometimes I have a great idea for what I want to blog about then I sit down and it's gone.  I don't know if it's old age (haha) or if my mind is racing about too many things to remember what I wanted to say 5 minutes ago.  Either way I'm lost for words (which doesn't happen too often).  So since I don't want to ramble I'll just sign off for now, but I'll come back when I can remember what I wanted to say.....

  I marvel at how the little things matter so much in life!  As a husband I know that it's the small, daily things that matter most to Amy but I still manage to forget to do said things.  This morning I'm sitting at my computer at home listening to Isaiah and Mya laugh and play!  The sound of a baby's laughter is something that can't help but make you smile!  There is such an innocence to the laughter, a sound that communicates so much more than just fun!

Buenos Dias to all of you back home in Arizona!  As I sit here in Ensenada sipping my caramel macchiatto I'm astounded at how "normal" it feels.  I could be at any Starbucks in the world right now writing my thoughts down but here I am relaxing and thinking about how good our God is!  This week has been amazing in many ways, the students have been tremendous, and I have seen some incredible sights.  So far we have painted at the church, done crafts with the orphans from Ca...

   This week I want to talk about our upcoming weekend!  I want to make sure and let you know about the Dare2Share event we will be attending this weekend.  Each year we have the opportunity to take students to an evangelism training conference in downtown Phoenix.  Together with churches fro...

Hey Parents,

   This is our new format for our weekly updates.  I hope that you have had a chance to get onto the website and look around.  There are some really cool features to this website and I am very excited about how easy it is to access and update information, pictures, videos, calendars and much, much more.

   This week I want to talk a little bit about the upcoming series and how you can help your student become m...
