Praise God! Yesterday I saw my oncologist who declared that I do not have cancer any longer. The colonoscopy and PET scan results were clean.
Friday, April 9th, 2010Missing Benjamin
We still cry over Benjamin’s death . Our oldest kisses a picture of him every night. If you ever have a baby die and have to have a funeral, please have your other kids present, no matter their age. Don’t shield your children from death. They need to know that the baby you had was [...]
Friday, April 9th, 2010Cancer and Christ
Now that I’m done with chemotherapy I’ll say that I’ve thought a lot over the last 6 months about why I have cancer. Atheists would say that stuff just happens, Prosperity preachers would say I didn’t have enough faith and didn’t speak words of healing over myself. Confucius would say bad stuff happens to good [...]
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009Cancer!
I had my appendix out last October and since then was running a high fever every 2 to 3 weeks with no other symptoms. By the time Benjamin died I had abdominal pain and pain where one of the incisions was. Levaquin knocked out the infection causing the abdominal pain and I felt great for [...]
Saturday, April 4th, 2009Loosing a Child
Benjamin’s Find-A-Grave Memorial Page We lost our expected son less than a month ago (he was almost 41 weeks). Sarah had a placenta abruption where the placenta separated from the uterus. When she knew something was wrong we left our midwife’s house and went to the hospital which was 7 minutes away. An hour later [...]
Monday, November 5th, 2007Praise God
I had called a pastor that we knew from a former church and talked with him at length about what happened and how we feel that God used those events to push us in the direction of ministry. We decided to visit his church the next day which was a good 85 miles away! What [...]
Thursday, October 25th, 2007School of Ministry
I applied for a school of ministry at a large non-denominational church and was accepted. I had prayed before that God would close this door if he didn’t want me going into ministry. I was honest during the interview that I felt called to start a local family integrated church where people would feel comfortable [...]
Friday, October 19th, 2007Theological beliefs definition
I have been researching a lot of terms and ideas since this search began and I have finally found out what the theological term is for our beliefs. We are continualist reformed credo-baptists. And that means what now? Continualist means that you believe the gifts (miraculous and non miraculous) of the Holy Spirit didn’t end [...]
Sunday, October 7th, 2007Shopping for a head covering
Sarah and I went to a messianic jewish store to look for head coverings today since we couldn’t find anything at the local wally world and she had a conversation with the owner about head coverings and found out that the owner has seen a rash of women of late come in convicted about wearing [...]
Saturday, October 6th, 2007Head covering blowup
Yes it finally happened, we’ve had conversations with our mothers about head coverings. Both were unwilling to take a hard look at the scriptures with us and see why it is we came to our conclusion that Sarah should wear a head covering. Both mothers had basically said that they’ve studied it and didn’t feel [...]
