Distancing…But Not Disconnected

As of today, May 3, 2020 we are still in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis.  Truly, as has already been said, this is an unprecedented time.  In fact, it’s been over 100 years since the last time anything like this has ever happened, going all the way back to 1918, when the Spanish Flu […]

Let My People Go

These words from Moses and Aaron in the book of Exodus (chapters 1-12) have really been resonating in my spirit the last couple of weeks.  Here we are, about a month or so into the COVID-19 crisis, and I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to feel a little trapped here! Honestly?  I haven’t […]

The Invisible God (Part 3 of 3)

The following is an excerpt from a recent sermon series I did @APCofCburg.  I pray that you would not feel alone, isolated or abandoned.  For God is always with you!  But I also want to make sure that you know that we (the church) are here for you also.  If you’re not connected with a […]

Be The Light – By Olivia Roemer (My Daughter)

Due to working a 40+ hour a week job (which I’m VERY thankful for) and Pastoring a church full-time, as well as a few other ventures that I’m involved in, I don’t get to post as often as I would like.  However, as I was going through some old emails, I came across this gem […]

WILDerness

The following is an excerpt from a recent sermon series I did @APCofCburg.  I have had frequent conversations with people from our church who have referenced the fact that they have been able to easily identify that they themselves in fact have been going through a WILDerness in there life.  I hope that this will […]

No Big Deal

[sgmb id=”1″] I’ve recently discovered that when dealing my children, and their sometimes overly dramatic encounters in life, this 3-word phrase has become my go-to response.

Putting Out Fires

[sgmb id=”1″] This morning, a faithful member of our church (@apcofcburg), informed me that they had stopped by the church and took care of a problem that could have potentially been disastrous.

I Blame Google

Yep.  I said it.  I blame google.  For what?  You might ask?  For taking away opportunities to communicate with other humans.  For making information too easy to access.  For taking away the jobs of door-to-door encyclopedia salesmen (and women). Sounds like I have an axe to grind…but really, I’m not mad, just shocked that it […]
