This Saturday I rescheduled a tee time at the last minute to make time for the Saturday Morning Men’s Study at Southeast Christian Church. Pause for applause and accolades. I am an infrequent attendee. We have 3 kiddos under 5 and one on the way so cut me some slack. I’m the guy the regulars [...]

Calvisnism vs Arminianism
Dare I go here. Why not? Nobody reads my blog anyway.
I just needed to get this one of my chest. Whether you are a Calvinist or an Arminian- I don’t truly care. The way I see you though is based on the amount of chatter you give to your argument- whichever side you’re on. Let’s [...]
Southeast Men’s Golf Trip Recap
My favorite week of the year is in the books. Now only 350 + days until next year.
My favorite moments of this year, and there were many.
Don Robinson’s Hole in One on #12 at Millstone had to take the cake- plus he bought ice cream for everyone at Dairy Queen as per Smitty tradition dictates. [...]
I am not a fan movement
I will simply link up the resources here. Get involved and tell the world why you don’t want to be a fan any longer. I am a fan when I don’t let Jesus be Lord over every area of my life. I don’t want to be a fan any longer . I want to be [...]
Southeast Christian Launches the Block
If you attended the weekend worship services at Southeast Christian this past weekend, you might have been moved like I was. I’m referring to the kick off of The Block and the way they pulled it off. I thought it was a very clever and creative way to connect the main worship service to The [...]
Christians step up now
Now is the time for Christians and Christian business owners to step up. The way I see it we should be doing several things right now.
We should be looking for ways to simplify our life, business and our finances.
We should be getting out of debt and saving wisely for our futures.
We should be giving to [...]
Attend One, Serve One
I have several new friends I’ve made over the last few months. Many of these friends attend Sojourn Community Church. I heard about Sojourn Church last year from a Leo article and a post from Eric Schansberg on his personal blog.
I was exploring Sojourn’s website recently after following several of Sojourn’s members and ministries on [...]
My spat with the readers of Zen habits
Recently, I had a mild disagreement, as my friends from Sweden would say. It was problematic they might say. I have been subscribing to the feed at Zen Habits for a couple months now, and I have thoroughly enjoyed the posts and content focused on simple living, minimalism and productivity. Well the other day it [...]
What’s your excuse?
Are you an excusiologist (as Peter J Daniels call it)?
Are you looking for any excuse to get out of a committment?
What is your problem?
What have you been complaining about lately?
Watch this video- and realize how blessed you truly are. This is one of those videos you need to watch every once in a while. It’s [...]
Costco supports Christmas
After tons of emails and letters poured in over the Christmas season, Costco wisely decided to embrace the holiday. They did not just allow Christmas in their stores but they promoted it. This was very exciting to me because I’ve always been a big supporter and advocate for Costco. I love their quality, their customer [...]
Open Letter to Costco President
Dear President Sinegal:
I have always admired the way you run your company. I often promote your store to friends, family and business associates. Choosing to not use the word Christmas in your advertising is cowardly but banning the use of the term is unacceptable. We are a Christian family with 3 children under 3. We [...]
Baby Dedication at Southeast Christian has nearly 60 children
For those that don’t understand baby dedication, it is the act of publicly declaring that you and your spouse will raise your child in the ways of Jesus Christ and in accordance with his teachings. You are effectively saying we give this little child over to your Lord. It is similar to the Catholic sacrament [...]

Southeast Christian church is in the beginning weeks of a series which will take the entire fall. It is a walk through 1 Corinthians and it’s titled “Journey to Deep”. It is an effort to move Christians to a closer more committed walk with Jesus. It is building nicely on the last series “One Month [...]

Support your local FCA
I was invited to play in the Greater Louisville and Southern Indiana FCA golf scrambles the past two Mondays.
Greg Scheer with Nationwide Insurance sponsored our team in the Louisville event, while John Smith (Smitty) put together the team for Southern Indiana’s event. Somehow we managed to win the Louisville event and finish second at the [...]
Let’s reach the world for Christ- but somebody has to pay the bill
I was convicted recently, when listening to Peter J Daniels speak about missions, ministry and the growth of Christ’s church. He said something that struck me- square upside the head. I’ve often thought of the verse that says “the workers are few but the harvest is many” and I’ve only thought about it in terms [...]
DC Class is Starting up again at Southeast Christian
Eric Schansberg and Kurt Sauder have sent out the shoulder tapping email. If anyone who reads my blog is interested in growing your walk with the Lord, then by all means register for the upcoming Discipleship Program. It meets once per week for 21 months, with a few breaks and celebrations mixed in. I’m entering [...]
Southeast Christian Church nursery needs volunteers
What are some creative ways to get more volunteers for Southeast Christian Churches nursery?
If you’re having trouble getting your children checked in each week, then do what we did a year ago- step up and volunteer yourself. Yes it is very trying with 3 children under 3. Every other week we really struggle to make [...]
Recap of SECC Men’s Golf Trip
It has come and gone again; my favorite trip and time of the year- the men’s golf trip at Southeast Christian Church. Each year we travel to East Tennessee for a great time of golf, fellowship and bible study. This year was extra special because the nightly devotionals were taught by Bob Russell. Bob is [...]

The Seekers softball ministry was featured on the front page of the Southeast Christian Outlook newspaper this week. It’s great to see this ministry blossoming. The Seekers softball team which was founded by Jerry Edds seven years ago is a sports ministry to the local prison systems in Kentucky and Tennessee. The Seekers have a [...]
