I got to spend time in a tent this weekend. It was a ministry run by His Place in Westminster. They go to a park, throw up some easy ups and tents and do ministry for homeless people and people suffering from addictions. Galatians 2:10 compels us to remember the poor people in our society.…

As I left my house this morning to go to the annual Celebrate Recovery Summit Mrs. Mom noticed two planets in the 5 am sky. Of course, I am not typically awake at this early hour, so it was a relatively new sight for me. I’ve seen these planets before, just not at this time…

I spent the morning swinging a 16 pound sledge hammer above my head. Yup, it was as awesome as it might sound. We are still in the process of taking out the old drywall in our building. All the easy stuff (walls) is done and the only thing left to do is two ceilings. That…

Look around you right now. No, really, look around you. If you are reading this and find yourself all alone, I’m sorry. You may be at work so it would be weird to have someone in the office, or perhaps you’re at the gym and came by yourself. Most of the time I write this…

In John we read that Jesus used some ordinary, plain dirt mixed with spit (yuck) in order to heal a blind man. I’m guessing that all of us who hear or read this section are not enthused to get spit on for healing. Yet Jesus took things that were readily available to everyone in attendance…

Moving can be fun. Moving can be exciting. Moving can be an adventure. Moving can also really suck! Today I am fixing to go help some friends move. There will be boxes of stuff everywhere. We will need to figure out what room gets which box, then where to put the things in the box.…

Yesterday in the prison we did an activity in which the class members were asked to identify three people they want to include in a support network. Some of the guys chose people on the streets while others chose people at the facility. One man even chose Mrs MoM and I. It was interesting to…

This weekend something wonderful happened. Over the past few months we have been running a new Prison Fellowship Academy class at the prison where we serve. It is filled with a wide variety of men, most of whom are already Christians. We do have one man who is new to faith. He was born to…
