I don’t know what it is exactly… It might be the smell of the vinyl, or the allure of the sticker-crazy surf & skate culture from which I was raised, or the simple and effective shock value of the on-demand, renegade, advertising resource they are; but the fact is I LOVE STICKERS. So I made [...]
I don’t even know what to say this year except, “God is good!” I am so grateful for the opportunities to make a difference with my life that God has given me. There’s nothing like work produced by faith, forgiveness, redemption, unity, and (most of all) love. If you really want the lo-down on what’s [...]
I’m all signed up to attend the HOPE worldwide Global Summit. Last year was amazing! We were introduced to the Chapter Model in an effort to restructure and fortify the many already existing and dormant U.S. Programs. Their effort was very successful and fruitful as they’ve grown, in just a year’s, time from 45 functioning [...]
I’m so proud of, and happy for my friend, Molly, who was a great member/sister of Christ here in Sacramento for the past few years. She came by way of Spokane, Washington and was called late last year to move to Cambodia to help teach English to children. She was on the initial advisory board, [...]
It’s been a while, but I’m going to start teaching the 3rd & 4th grade class in our churches’ children’s ministry class this Sunday. Last year my church began using a new curriculum that seems like a great asset to our classes. It’s called Faith Weaver and it seems like a lot of time and [...]

God has made it very apparent, now, what to study in my Bible; and that’s Acts. I had been struggling to find a real focus of what to read in the Bible since the inception of 2010. I started going through a couple little reading plans, but none of it was really speaking to me. [...]
Jesus clearly came to the aid of those in need. But how did the early church serve and who did they serve? The book of Acts is well known for it’s bold evangelistic campaign on the known world to spread the Gospel. I’m going through, step-by-step to see how their “acts” of service and compassion [...]
MLK Day weekend is here! We did our part to serve the community yesterday. Our Sacramento HOPE worldwide Chapter rallied the forces of 71 volunteers from our church, the Red Cross, Americorps, CERT, and a few Navy Cadets. We descended upon the South Land Park and Meadowview neighborhoods to distribute vital fire and disaster preparedness [...]
Hey! If we’re doing good shouldn’t we tell people? Jesus has some different guidelines; in case you were wondering. Jesus wants our entire life to overflow with his love. He wants to firmly embed his tap of living water into our hearts so that we may poor good things out to others. God’s goal is [...]
