28 Random Things About Me
Why 28? Why not? Doubt anybody will read this or care, but thought I'd just put it on here for giggles.
1. I love Jesus more than anything or anybody in my life.
2. I hate meatloaf, coconut, beets, and liver.
3. I really like to play golf because it relaxes me.
4. I like to be alone more than people think. I know that people view me as an outgoing person, which I am, however I'm finding that as I get older I like to have my own time.
5. I can't stand it when people say the word "pacific" in place of "specific".
6. I hate politics!! I don't like church politics, or regular.
7. I have found that I really like to read. Now I'm not really fast, but I like it. My favorite books are generally books that challenge or stretch me spiritually.
8. My favorite soda is Barq's Red Cream Soda.
9. I have never been in a fist fight or any other kind of fight except verbal.
10. I really like to make websites, I think it's fun. You have to be creative while still being tech savvy.
11. I love to preach, for me I feel as though I'm fulfilling my life's purpose. When I don't get to preach I feel as though I'm not useful and don't really matter.
12. My high school mascot was a Cow Puncher, yes that's right a Cow Puncher.
13. I love to play Ping Pong!
14. I love to watch movies about Greatness, God and especially the Greatness of God!!
15. I hate shaving, it's so annoying but if you don't then you look scraggly and don't get kisses from your wife as much...so I shave.
16. I have a dog and his name is Pickles Baptidzo Jones, he's two kinds of awesome. Awesome and More Awesome!
17. I love "Old Time" preachers who had that special fire in them. Their lips dripped with the Holy Words of God and the spoke as if it were their last time ever to preach. I want to preach like that.
18. One of my most favorite things in the world to do is to sit around with good friends and tell funny stories that happened to us that we've heard before and laugh like we're hearing it for the first time!!
19. I am scared of snakes, sharks, heights and bats.
20. One of my life long goals is to be a great communicator of the Gospel, not just preaching wise, but in all aspects of my life.
21. I would like to play golf in all 50 states, so far I've got 4 down.
22. I love my wife more than I love anybody (excluding Jesus). She is truly my best friend and we have a blast together.
23. I like tattoos if they have some sort of meaning behind them. Ones where you get them just because you like how they look I think are kinda dumb.
24. I am not a fan of sun roofs in cars. I like it as cool as possible most of the time, unless of course there is snow on the ground, but sometimes still I like it.
25. I eventually want to get a masters and doctorate.
26. My favorite cake in the world is HOMEMADE Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Icing.
27. Cell phones are to me like shoes are to women.
28. I have watched the movie Dumb and Dumber so much that I have memorized it. The problem is that I annoy myself when I watch it from quoting it so much I haven't watched it in years.

On the road again
Well Mindy and I are getting back into blogging and we reconfigured the setup so it looks SWEET now! Check her's out Smile Out Loud and obviously Mine! I think that I might try and make start a routine with my week, like Sermon Sunday's where I listen to a sermon during the week and post it on Sunday. Something like that. We'll see what happens, got any suggestions?
We're getting ready to pack up our stuff for a month on the road where we'll travel to Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri (maybe Tennessee but we'll just have to see). I think this time will be better as far as our packing goes since we're a little more settled and know where things are. I'm hoping to narrow it down to the point we have a little wiggle room. It's nice to have a minivan when you're wanting to load enough stuff to live off of. I'm positive that we'll take some stuff out and add some stuff in.
One thing we're going to try and do different is eat at Subway and split a flatbread sandwich and then have our own chips and water. This way we don't have to have meat and stuff on hand, but still don't have to pay for a full meal. It may be cheap but that's how we roll.
I'm definitely excited to get back on the road, I don't really feel useful unless I'm preaching and since it's been a while I'm chomping at the bit. It's funny because before I started preaching if you told me that I would be driving 15 + hours to preach for 4 days I'd call you crazy. Now I'll do that no problem and even tack on a few hours. I guess I just love to share Jesus with people.
Well it's off to bed now so we can get up early and hit it hard with packing, loading, unloading, calculating, and laundry!!

Where I'm at and Where I want to be.
Ever feel like you're at a cross road in life and you need to make some major decisions that will determine the outcome of your future. Yeah I'm there. I wish there was some sort of logic I could put this equation of a life into and it would pop out the most logical answer and we would take it. But as I've found if I'm able to accomplish whatever it is on my own then God seems to go the other direction. Which makes sense because if I could do it then why would I need God, right? Well we're "home" over winter in Kalamazoo, MI. I can't say it's one of my most favorite places to be but it's "home" for now.
I've found myself with a lot of time on my hands as I search for a job until February. In that free time I seem to be taking a step back in my life and analyzing what seems to be most important in life: Car, House, Job, Family...Jesus. It's interesting because at first I thought of the first things on my short list then Jesus. But as I'm waking up when I want and accomplishing the little tasks that make the house run and my wife happy, I'm finding more and more that first part of the list is seeming to fade and Jesus is becoming more and more the entire list! I know that sounds cheesy and very much a preacher answer, however it's true. I am not fixed on income (although it's nice to have), a house, cars, starting a family. Rather I'm finding myself looking more towards the Savior who laid His life down for me.
Now don't get me wrong it's not as though I was not fixing myself on Jesus before, but it just seems to be that I am wanting MORE. I find myself often in the company of men and women who know the scripture much better than me and seem to be very intelligent. I'm not saying that I'm a dumb man or even middle of the road, I'm smart. Not brilliant, but smart, smart enough to realize when I want MORE of something for the right reason.
I'm finding that I'm wanting more of Jesus in my life because I want my relationship with Him to grow. I want to be more sensitive of His voice. I want to know when He's speaking to me and when it's Satan. I want to know where He is wanting me to go and what He is wanting me to do. I am wanting more of that and I know that the only way to grow deeper with Him is to read scripture, pray, search for answers not because of a study, or because of a sermon. But because I want to know Him more.
I want to be able to see Jesus in the falling snow, blades of grass, in the wind and all the natural beauties that are around me all the time. I want to be able to see Jesus in every aspect of my life and take the time to do that. When is the last time you stopped to smell the roses, not for the smell, but to smell what He might smell like in them? When is the last time you stopped to watch the sunset or sunrise to see what was created by God in the beginning? Let's take time to realize these things and to have a want inside of us that yearns for Jesus because you want your relationship to be better.
Mind you everything I've said above is a late night/early morning rant and I'm probably going to be after this, but it's my heart and it's out there. Bottom line is that I love Jesus and want to love Him more. Would you join me in this effort to love Jesus like you've never loved Him before?

Planes, Trains and Automobiles Part 2
So we get on the train in Fargo but not before we were unable to bring all of our things we had packed with us. We also found out that the train going to Cincinnati didn't allow for checked bags so the bigger things we would take with us wouldn't be able to make the entire trip. So we ended up with the plan to take the train to Chicago, after rearranging things, and then get a rental car in Chicago and drive back. Well while we were on the train I called to check and see how much it would be to drive back and it was something crazy like over 2,000. So we booked a flight from Chicago to Nashville, then Nashville to Columbus. Now there is a direct flight from Chicago however we couldn't get that one because we wanted to make sure we actually got on the flight and it was leaving earlier. So as we arrive in Chicago off the train of interesting people from a room that a man of my size should never sleep in. We got a taxi which was the most normal thing of the trip because nothing really went crazy with it. We arrived at the airport and while we were at the ticket counter the lady made sure that we were going to go through since there was an outside chance that we would not get on the flight. As we got on the plane I am normally scared to death of flying but this time I was so tired I just didn't care.
Ok so this has taken long enough to end. We got home, got a rental and then bought our minivan and lived happily ever after. So now it's done and I can move on to more important blogs, with more important topics like say...Jesus!!

Planes, Trains and Automobiles Part 1
So after a crazy good camp in Crystal Springs, ND we were staying with Scot and Crystal in Valley City, ND. We were going to leave on Saturday at around 6 or so in the a.m. to head to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore to camp. Now when we're leaving at 5:50 a.m., on a Saturday, in Valley City, ND we got hit from a guy running a stop sign!! THE ONLY DRIVER IN VALLEY CITY, ND, POSSIBLY THE ENTIRE STATE FOUND THE SIDE OF OUR CAR WITH HIS!!!
It was kinda interesting because we had just prayed for traveling mercies and for God to watch out for us and then not even 5 minutes later we got hit. We are both ok (at least from the accident), however my car Rosie is not. She was totaled and now resides in North Dakota somewhere. I'll have to say she was a great car and did everything that we wanted her to do.
So as we were gathering what to do in the midst of the craziness of getting hit that early we were lucky that we were only about 12 blocks from our good buddy Scot's house. So we texted him but got nothing, which we shouldn't have at 5:50 in the AM. So the policeman drove around the corner and got his pickup truck and drove us and our entire car full of stuff to Scot and Crystal's house. Where we proceeded to make home base for the next weekend.
Now in normal cities the auto body shop would be wide open on a Saturday...however in Valley City, ND there is no auto body shop open on Saturdays. So the fun continues. So we contacted out insurance company about the whole thing and the waiting began. We couldn't do anything since there would not be anybody available til Monday morning. Oh and did I mention that Scot gave us a cold?? Well it might have been somebody from camp, but it's more fun to say it was Scot.
So as we're feeling like death and looking not that far behind I got a call from the local pastor to preach at Valley City First Church of the Nazarene. Which I gladly accepted because I love to preach...so it worked out well. So as we're waiting on Sunday we are trying to formulate a plan that makes sense and won't cost an arm and a leg. We checked on rentals out of Fargo, but that would be a ridiculous amount of money for the time and miles we needed the car. They were going to charge something like $2 a mile outside the region for us to use it. Um I don't think so considering we're driving 18 hours away.
So as Monday morning rolled around we are trying to figure out what to do not only to get us home, but our entire car full of stuff home as well. Mindy found that Amtrak would be a good option and that they would let us take 3 checked bags and 2 carry-ons, which we would probably be able to do. We told both insurance companies that was what we were going to finally do. This train departed at 2:30 in the morning so we had to ask Scot how good of friends we were considering we would need a ride at about midnight so we could get to Fargo on time. The train we were taking would be from Fargo to Chicago, then Chicago to Cincinnati...so we thought...
