You’da had to been there to believe it, but since you weren’t I took pictures! Santa Clause came to our house last night! Yep, you heard me! We were eating pizza (a Friday night ritual) when all of a sudden the dogs exploded with ferocious barking! We have two English Mastiffs so when I say “explode” [...]

This weekend is a pretty big weekend in my life! I will be graduating from St. Bonaventure University with a M.S. in Professional Leadership. For the last 16 months I have spent almost every weekend in school – every Friday night and all day Saturday. This has been a great learning experience… but I’m looking [...]

A couple of weeks ago I took “The Ladies” to Bob Evans. As soon as they walked in they became ENTHRALLED with the cake-container-spinner-thing. They watched in amazement as they virtually (and some literally) drueled all over the case! They were enchanted, totally drawn in by what they were experiencing! They couldn’t wait to taste [...]

Every year I keep track of what I read. I have tried, in previous years, to pre-plan my reading schedule… that doesn’t work out very well!

Currently, scientists are six years into a ten year study on ocean life – an ocean census. One of the lead scientists (there are about 2,000 from 80 countries participating) said, “We can’t find [...]

Yesterday Sherri, “The Ladies”, and I went to the Chapel @ Crosspoint. A great, growing church in Buffalo. For more on why we went to another church, see here. They had great music and did a tag team sermon. It was kind of neat to see two guys preach one sermon. Pastor Vern and I [...]

I had a revelation on Saturday night! Maybe some of you who have been married a long time will already know this, but for me it was pretty profound! I’m a guy with some pretty basic desires (sex, food, affirmation – and in that order too). ;-) I’m always hoping that Sherri will intuit my needs and [...]

Holy Moly! We went shopping for EIGHT HOURS today! That is a personal best! And I did it with only one meltdown! Sherri said, “You did better than I could even have wished for!” Now folks, that’s a testimony to the power of Jesus working in a regular dude!!! Tomorrow we’re going to The Chapel [...]

Churches that are growing typically hear some version of this charge, “All you care about is numbers.” We are no exception to this charge which has made me think a lot about this allegation. Here are my thoughts (at this point in the journey)… 1) We are “all about numbers” because every number has a [...]

Tonight we are partnering with Turner’s Funeral Home to provide a memorial service for those who have lost loved ones over the last year(s). We are expecting over 400 people (the largest crowd they’ve seen yet)! I’m so proud of our church! To everyone who is helping, from those providing pre-service cleaning, to the parking [...]
