  • Zombies vs… The Zombie Apocalypse Explained

    Sometimes life seems like the screenplay to a zombie movie. Don’t act like it doesn’t. We go through our lives, struggling to survive, hoping to accumulate as much stuff as we can and make it through the night to live another day. The world around us can seem harsh and cold, filled with people only…

  • Zombies vs. Beauty Sleep

    If there is a zombie in your bedroom, you aren’t going to get much sleep. You can have fleece pajamas, silk sheets, and Ambien, but if there’s a growling zombie taking a bite out of your gluteus maximus, you can forget about your beauty sleep. Sleep is important to your health both physically and mentally.…

  • Zombies vs. A Happy Home

    In honor of the 12/21 Mayan Apocalypse I give you Zombies vs… a Five week series on the walking dead among us. This series will bring to light the struggle happening in this world between the “Zombies” among us: those walking dead hungry only for the flesh of the living, and the everyday people they…

  • Zombies vs. Innovators

    In honor of the 12/21/12 Mayan Apocalypse I give you Zombies vs… a Five week series on the walking dead among us.

  • Just Shut Up And Listen

    Just shut up and listen. Just a for a moment. If you want to see this dark world change, then light it up. Go to it. Don’t sit around in a church building and wait for the masses to come to you for answers. If you’re spending all your time with Christians, you probably don’t…

  • Christmas Traditions

    Every year on December 6th (or close to it) our family celebrates Saint Nicholas Day. The kids love it because they get a small taste in their stocking of the gifts that are coming on Christmas Day. My wife and I love it because we get to share a small version of the history (and…

  • Making Waves

    If you get in the water, you make waves. Ask anyone who’s ever been at a pool party while three college guys do a coordinated stealth attack featuring belly flops, a canon ball, and that weak upright and indecisive jump into the water we’ve all seen people do. Ask anyone who’s been fishing in a small…

  • Making the Bus Monitor Cry

    This sickens me. I am a pastor at a church located in Greece, NY. I am disgusted with the way this woman is abused. I’m angry that she had to endure this barrage of personal insults, threats, and harassment. Like several people all over Western NY (and apparently in other parts of the world as the video is…

  • Memorial Day

    Imagine applying for an employment opportunity that took you away from your family, put you on call for 24 hours a day, and required you to sleep at the work site. The food really isn’t great, the job sites are not safe, and there isn’t a whole lot of vacation time. Incomes are low, and…
