Greetings from Duluth! It’s hard to decide where to begin with everything that’s been going on in our little fellowship up here. God has certainly stirred things up, and there’s a lot to anticipate, be thankful for, and pray for as our summer progresses. We sent our first official Duluth team to Kentucky in mid-June … Read more
A few weeks ago I was able to travel with our Duluth missions team to Kentucky where we did some extensive work on the foundation of a building. Over the years the foundation of this building had shifted several inches leading to severe compromise of the structure and safety of the building. Simply stated, buildings … Read more

Superman It takes Clark Kent 3 seconds in a revolving door or a phone booth to go from average to awesome. It’s impressive to say the least. He’s really the first of his kind to figure out how to do it. One moment he’s a run-of-the-mill, blue-collar civilian, but before you know it, he becomes … Read more

We started off the month with a prayer breakfast and workday, where we did some housekeeping, made some technology upgrades, and continued the remodel of the balcony into a work space (and it made quite the jump forward that day). The day after was our Super … Read more

We go to great lengths traveling thousands of miles and spending millions of dollars to behold and experience things that will leave us with some small sense of awe.

My family wasn’t perfect, and neither was yours, but I’ll tell you one thing: Barring any major dysfunction, you didn’t run away from them, and they didn’t run away from you. There may be … Read more
