In case you were wondering what I was up to the last year

  • I hear all the time that people dont think pastors do not work very hard. We are kind of lumped in with government workers and cops eating donuts while they are on shift.

    Here are a list of the special activities on top of the weekly routine that we did in 2005. I think we got a lot accomplished!
