Having finally finished my rewrite for Checklist Jesus, I am having it edited for the last time. I am interested in having a forward added by a very influential person, but I’m not sure if he will be willing to provide that. Please pray with me that the Lord’s will be done, not mine. He […]
Mission Trip
This year, the youth of FBC Ropes will be traveling to Gustine, TX to work at the Diamond J Youth Ranch for our mission trip. We will be working with a group of foster children and their foster parents on a 290-acre working ranch. Renovating a small home for additional occupancy, working throughout the housing […]
Student Leadership at FBC Ropes
A church member asked me the other day about the upcoming leadership of our youth group, now that our seniors had graduated. Though the graduating seniors were visible and vocal in their love for our youth group, they are now moving on in their walk with the Lord, as well as their involvement in FBC […]
Truth About my Work.
Many people seem to believe that being a minister means that I just wake up with a smile on my face, and that life is always good, “because I’m in the will of the LAWD!” But the truth about church work is that my day begins in the same way as the rest of the […]
Treasure

Can’t wait to blog again, and I hope the Lord uses Checklist Jesus to reconnect believers in a […]
Pursuing Holiness
Pursuing holiness was a topic this past Sunday at the Village Church in Flower Mound, TX. Krystle and I were privileged to be able to go there for a week of refreshment before beginning our new work at First Baptist Church Ropesville. The trip and church service were a great time for me to spend […]
New Project!
Over the past few years, I have felt a great desire to publish a book based on the church experience of many young people today. Though the expressions and passions displayed in this book will be from the point of view of my wife and my own experiences as youth and young adults, the applicability […]
Seasons
As many of you know, this past year has been full of change and transition for Krystle and me, but the value of each of these seasons have helped us to become best friends and trust each other in every aspect of life. From relationships to ministries to health problems, there have been trying times […]
Getting Motivated
I have found it hard, over the past few weeks or months, to get myself motivated to do things that I love to do. That may seem odd that I reference things that I ‘love,’ but i mean that I love them when I actually DO them. Starting the projects is the issue; not enjoying […]
