Minister Of Mocha

This weekend we had a guest speaker at RCA Church. He was a first generation American who had fled Viet Nam with his family as a young child at the fall of Saigon. Listening to his harrowing stories of youth was mesmerizing. He is now a pastor and travels to spread the Word. It was…

So, many of you have probably noticed that I published late this week. It’s due to us getting new carpet in the offices at RCA Church so I’ve been busy moving furniture and stuff. So now I’m listening to the installer scraping the floor to prep of the carpet and typing in a an office…

That’s gonna be me this Friday. My youngest is getting married and for the last time, I’ll be the slightly out of shape guy crying…err, dancing with the bride.

I apologize for being a day late. If it helps at all, I’m also at least a dollar short! After a busy Easter week Pastor gave us the day off yesterday so I went hiking with the grandsons. That still didn’t keep me from thinking though… Have you ever had a peach? I just LOVE…

Every Monday it’s the same thing…”What do I write about?” As I look back on the week I find that I am a pretty busy person. So glancing back on the week I try to decide what adventure or experience is worthy of sharing with you, dear reader. Today it’s Kings hockey. This weekend my…
