So, yesterday (Thursday), I go see my regular doc. I’m on the Reglan the GI doc put me on, no idfference yet, but friends are saying, “have you had anyone check for a candida fungal infection?” Nope, says I. Whatever. It can’t hurt to ask, and I’m still feeling miserable.
Doc says, sure, it looks suspicious, [...]
Not feeling any different today physically, but it has been a gracious day. I had the opportunity to officiate the wedding of a young couple in our church. The bride’s family has been a part of our church from her early years.
A man came into her life some time ago and swept her off her [...]
It’s not generally a habit of mine to opine about political things. Don’t get me wrong. I believe Christians should be involved in political issues. And I do get involved in the process. I’m just not one to give a lot of opinion.
Anyway, the other day, I read something I found quite interesting about the [...]

This has been a great week. Jonathan & I are really enjoying our time together. He doesn’t outright say it, but I can tell it’s been good for him too. He’s not only had me, but a couple of buddies as well. Their family has a timeshare in Solvang, so they’ve been able to be [...]
It’s a beautiful night in downtown Buellton! If you’ve never been here, you do. not. know. what you are missing! And I’m not referring to Pea Soup Andersen’s either, though I am fairly partial to The Hitching Post and their Garlic Roasted Artichoke. Anyway, I digress…..
It’s a few minutes before midnight. I am at an [...]
Wondering where “Summer Sabbatical Scoop #1″ is? It’s here, but titled differently. In the last post, I offered that if anyone had a better name for these updates, bring ‘em on! Well, some did, and I chose this one.
Been two weeks since the previous update. Since then, Josh promoted from 8th grade, meaning we now [...]
If you’re savvy to another title for these posts I’ll do once in a while during the sabbatical other than “Sabbatical Serenades”, let me know. I’m open. Couldn’t come up with anything more creative or alliteratorical (is that a word?) alliterative (Thanks David Simkovsky!!).
We are almost at the end of the second week of the [...]
OK, so now that I am over it, and more like it, more over mySELF and my own embarrasment, I have to tell you what happened last week. It was the weirdest thing, though the doctor says it’s more common than most think.
I fly home from New York last Monday (May 4). Great flight. Stayed [...]
For those wondering where I’ve been this week, you can read about it here. My friend, Gene Stabe, and I have enjoyed the weel re-connecting as he experienced his first Study & Planning Break.
Gene pastors Living Springs Foursquare Church in Agua Dulce, California. He and I were best friends in High School and roomed at [...]
For the first time ever, I got coined today at church! Gabe Milbauer, a young man who was part of my Youth Group when I was the Youth Pastor at NewHeart, is in the Navy, stationed in San Diego. He is a Petty Officer 2nd Class who has served for 5 years and is ready [...]
