I’m tired. Ever been there? Exhausted beyond description? That’s me and that is my wife and family right now. If you don’t know me, I am a Type A, laid back personality. Say what???? Listen, I love to have my list and get things accomplished, but I have also in the last few years learned to enjoy just sitting and listening to nature while my dog plays his version of catch and then run around for a few minutes like a nut job before bringing the ball back to do it all over again. Life is full and I am reminded to “not grow weary in doing good.” Yeah, about that….it is not that we are weary with the doing good part. We love our ministry, we love our church, we love the people we work with, we love our children, our neighborhood but, frankly, we would also love a night of dreamless, refreshing sleep.

We have two dogs and one cat, at least we used to. Our cat is a tuxedo cat named Oreo, but she will also answer (or at least look at you) if you call her cat, Satan's bride or psycho. Our female dog is a Shepherd/Husky mix and our male dog is a black lab.

Here I would like to give a shout out to my nephew for watching them while we were on vacation for about two weeks. (Pausing while you chuckle...go ahead...we did.) This last week, after another episode of not obeying the rules (again) we were blessed with a litter of 10 puppies. Here are a few lessons I have learned from puppies about Christians while I have spent time watching and playing with the fur-balls. 1. Like puppies, Christians need to dog pile. We need each other.

Going to Seminary is expensive. On top of that, finding a scholarship can be really difficult. That's why I was so excited to find this Seminary Scholarship website today. Not only are they giving away a $1,000.00 scholarship and a digital theological library, all I had to do to apply was watch a short video and answer a few questions! It took less than 15 minutes. What is best of all is that if you're in seminary and apply for the Seminary Scholarship , and put my name as the person who referred you, if you win the scholarship, so do I! We could both get a $1,000.00 scholarship and digital theological library. So, do us both a favor and go apply for the Seminary Scholarship today.
