It takes an Onesiphorus to reach the world
Thoughts from my devos to day…I thought I’d share some ramblings… I judge all names on how they would look on sports jerseys. I know it’s weird, but I follow that thought up with how the name sounds from an announcer calling out the name on a huge play during a game. I’m not sure…

“Tone Deaf Marriage”
I’ve met both extremes. I had a friend in bible college who, at parties, we’d make sit at a keyboard while we sing random notes. Almost instantaneously, she’d play the exact note. No mistakes. She can pick out any tones, notes, and/or pitches and play or sing them. She’s very talented musically. I have another…

Holding Your Spouse Captive
My mind goes to a childhood experience. On a family vacation to San Diego, we had taken a day to go across the border to Mexico. At a local flea market, I saw a pair of handcuffs and just had to have them. After a day of pleading with my dad and him haggling with…

“Direct Deposit”
What an amazing day at Kfirst yesterday. Coming off a message on gratitude, I’m very thankful for an atmosphere of the Lord’s presence and a church community I get to share it with.

Stop being Swiss
The weekly marriage blog has been a thrill to do. In February, I’m going to focus the marriage blog on the subject of sex. Being Valentines month, it comes as an easy topic to discuss.

I’m wore out but still pumped from yesterday. The voice is a bit scratching and I had a sleepless night. I’ll admit I had a few nightmares…but my insomnia come from my mind already on the next message. The service was amazing and I am staring and Monday completely stoked for what God has in…

Kissing Lessons
To quote Porthos in the “Three Musketeers,” he told D’Artagnan “The secret…is in the first kiss for in that first kiss a lasting impression is made. Right, ladies? If it is weak she’ll think you’re weak. If it is comical she’ll think you’re a clown. (…) And as a musketeer is never weak and only rarely a clown…
