Before you can GIVE your life for God, You must begin to LIVE your life for God

About Me

Here are a few lines about me. Please, use your imagination. I am just a man trying to live out Jesus in my everyday life. Often I fail, so please forgive me as my Father in Heaven forgives us. I love God, my beautiful bride Kortni, and my family. Although life is not exaclty as I pictured it nor is it always what I could pick, I could not imagine my life any better than right now. I am just a piece of the fallen creation, but I have been redemed by the blood of the precious lamb...therefore I have begun my eternal life with the Trinity. How amazing. I am a High School Social Studies teacher at BNL. It is amazing to have the opportunity to transform the lives of young adults. I get to work with some of the most talented kids in the world. I am blessed also to get to work with Faith Quest Youth Ministry at Mitchell Church of Christ...come check it out.

The Smell of Dirt

Ah yes, the smell of dirt, the taste of the seeds, the aroma of the beer, the noise of wood cracking, baseball has arrived again.  This is going to be a special year.  The 2006 World Champio...
