For the past few years I have felt the call upon my life to write. I have never doubted that God has incredible things in store for my life. He has led me to many incredible places and has taught me so much along the way. Currently, I find myself writing every week for the many different areas of ministry in which I serve. This page is to help me share some of what I have written and to allow my writing skills to develop for whatever God has planned for the future.
I hope you will find this page meaningful and a bit entertaining! For the most part, this page will focus on three main things that are very important to me: family, ministry, and creativity.
Family is huge to me! There is nothing that has helped shape my faith and my personality more than my family! They get the credit for my walk with Jesus Christ and they get the blame for my Pennsylvania-Dutch stubbornness. (And my love for potato chips and Chinese food!) My ministry is centered around family as well. I know God ‘moves’ and ‘works’ in different ways in our world and time, but a family centered around Jesus Christ will always be one of His greatest weapons!
Ministry is my calling. As a pastor’s son I have been around church ministry for a really long time. (Okay, calm down, not that long.) I love finding new ways of reaching people for Jesus Christ and I think there is a lot we can learn from each other in making most areas of the church better.
Creativity is what often fuels me. Too often being a Christian has been associated with negativity, boredom, and legalism. I see it as just the opposite and I will gladly share any idea that helps people smile, laugh, and cheer while learning about Jesus Christ.
Welcome to the blogosphere!
Thank you, James!
