A couple weeks ago Planetshakers released a new CD entitled Limitless. The title track has quickly become one of my favorite songs by them. It has become an anthem that I love to proclaim. The lyrics are powerful and get me pumped up. Check out the video for it below. [Read more…] about Limitless

The Power of Nicki Manaj
I was at work yesterday and a middle school camper said something that really disturbed me. They said, “Nicki Manaj really speaks to our generation. She is my role model.” I was blown away. Out of all the possibilities for them like their parents, a teacher, a pastor, or a family member, they chose Nicki Manaj as their role model. It makes me sad that our society is currently in that state. A middle schooler feels that Nicki Manaj is a prime example of how she should model her life. I knew that young people are a generation that needed some love, but yesterday really opened my eyes to how bad it is. [Read more…] about The Power of Nicki Manaj
What’s the Big Deal About Christmas Music?
If you walk into just about any store in America you will hear Christmas music playing. A few years ago I would have told you I couldn’t stand Christmas music. There was only one Christmas CD I would listen to and that was Relient K’s. It would really annoy me because if you ever listened to a radio station that played Christmas music it felt like you heard the same five songs just by different people. On Christmas Eve we would always go to my grandparents, and I would be annoyed because my mom would insist on listening to Christmas music in the car.

Introduce a Little Anarchy
Yesterday afternoon at after school we got caught in the middle of a big thunderstorm. As if having a big storm with loud thunder wasn’t creating enough chaos for kindergarteners on their first week of after school, the roof in the cafeteria started leaking. And by leaking I actually mean pouring. I have never seen a ceiling leak so bad, it was leaking as fast and heavy as the rain was falling outside. So there we were caught in the middle trying to calm down 50 kids and keep everything organized in the small cafeteria. [Read more…] about Introduce a Little Anarchy
The Rain Will Come
As of today, it is exactly three weeks until I am going to be married. A lot of people have been asking me if I am excited. My answer is that it is one of the only bright spots in the current storm. I haven’t made a public statement, but if you pay attention on Facebook you may have noticed Trinity Academy is no longer listed as my employer. Due to budget cuts, I was let go as of last Wednesday. So exactly one month before I get married, I lose my job. [Read more…] about The Rain Will Come
Redefining Empty Words
Worship this morning at Charisma Church was awesome. God showed up and it was powerful. We had people down at the altar, bowing down before God, and He was changing their lives. And this was all before any sermon was given. This was simply just the Holy Spirit at work in people’s lives. [Read more…] about Redefining Empty Words
