I lead an amazing group of people at our church!
Last night, we hosted and provided a Benefit Dinner to a family whose little girl had a brain aneurysm and is in Boston in rehab. We provided a great meal, lots of love and friendship to those who attended, and everyone left feeling like we make a huge difference in people's lives.
This is what it's all about!
I am a son of the Adirondack Mountains in northern New York State. I am privileged to be serving God and my people in this gorgeous region of the country.

Mother's Day
Today was a good day for me, both at church and with my family. And while I missed my Mom a lot, I know she is with God and is safe from the disease that took here life.
I traveled with Dad to visit the family cemetery plot. It was a special moment. I want to pass these things on to my kids so they will have them in their memory banks not to be forgotten after I am gone.
Good talk with my brother tonight, too. God has good things in store for him!!!

What a Difference a Year Makes
I am grateful to God for His many blessings on my life and ministry. This one stands out today:
One year ago, the church I serve averaged 56 in average attendance. One year later, we averged 97.
To God be the Glory!

A Day in Lake Placid
Today we decided to take a day off and drive to Lake Placid, NY, to enjoy a new place I'd not been to before.
We walked the street (!), browsed her shops, enjoyed a treat at Starbuck's, and simply enjoyed taking time away from the rush to enjoy each other's company.
Even after 29 years of marriage, we still look forward to walking hand-in-hand together and communicating about the things that matter to us.
I was most impressed with the granduaur of these Adirondack Mountains. All the way up our climb, our ears popped, reminding us that we're not in Nova Scotia anymore!
Today was a great experience and one I'll remember for a while.
