I took a day last week to spend a bunch of time with God, looking for wisdom from him regarding some big life decisions we were facing. (The whole computer store thing, listed below). My deal is, the music stuff we do… is something that God has given me and called me to do. It…
Personal
Mom
While it’s still Mother’s Day… just wanted to let you all know how cool my mom is. Besides the fact that she listens to the Beatles and Led Zepplin and other great stuff. Besides the fact that she’s a great cook – of just about anything you can think of! (Including awesome cakes for every…
The Same Boat
Listen: RealAudio® | mp3Sometimes… it feels like we’ve earned itThe right to sit at this table of graceWe work so hard, to try to control itThe life that flies right in God’s face It gets so easy to rest on our merits“Compared to him, yeah, I look pretty good…”Not by works, so no one can…
How Did I Get Here??
Continuing on this theme of what is sin, and what does it do to us… I was reading the story of David and Bathsheba again today. (sidenote… I have always thought that she has the funniest name in light of the rest of the story…) We all know that story. What’s that? You don’t? Well,…

Pros and Cons
Long story, but… we are considering opening a retail store here on Main St – Palmyra, NY – to sell Apple Computers and related products. There is no such business in the area (there are some apple service folks who will sell you a computer if you ask them… but no real “store”) There are…
Response To Comments:

What is Sin – Part II
Sin – in every form – is a lack of trust in God. Every one. It is saying, "God, I know better than you on this one… I’m gonna do it MY way!" Think about it… Stealing is not trusting God to provide. Fear is not trusting that God is in control. Gossip is not…
What is sin?
Whoa. That just looks heavy. I don’t intend for it to be. We’ll see where this blog goes. I have been thinking about grace and sin and righteousness and all that a bunch recently… and had some interesting thoughts to share… and perhaps get some feedback on through the little comment feature here in blog-dom….
