Oprah, Church Planting, and Donations

So I’ll be man enough to admit it…on occasion, I watch Oprah.  Please note, the majority of the time it’s with my wife, but yeah I watch it.  But it doesn’t make me cry, it makes me mad.  Not mad at Oprah, but mad that I’m not doing this stuff, and instead, I’m at home [...]

New Krissy Pictures

Well I got a new digital camera for Christmas (Canon Powershot SD870 IS), and so far, I love it.  Here are a few shots I took of my wife Krissy on Christmas day.

Catching Up: All the things that I’ve forgotten to blog about…

Alright, here is the rundown of significant and insignificant news that I normally would have blogged about, but due to all that we’ve been through lately, and for whatever other reason, I didn’t….in no particular order.
1.) Oasis Staff/MTL’s/Trustee Christmas Party – We went to Papa Vino’s, had a great dinner, a hilarious White Elephant Gift [...]

Back From the Dead…

What a day…for the second time this week we’ve had doctors allude to us that Krissy was in eminent danger, this time, it caused us to drive 3 hours to the doctors in Indianapolis.  And although it was really inconvenient, I’m glad we went because it’s settled.  There was an inconclusive test that she had [...]

Exciting News for 2008!

Snow Day Adventure

Well we got about 7-10 inches of snow last night.  Not the biggest snowfall ever, but pretty significant.  Jerry Grieser was supposed to come in to teach from out of town, but the toll road was down to only one lane traffic, which would have delayed him to the point of missing the service.  A [...]

194 – A World View

194 – A World View (by Lucas Miles) 
            Kiribati.  Kinshasa.  Eritrea.  No, that’s not tongues; they’re countries.  Don’t worry, I hadn’t heard of them either…that is until recently.  But I’m getting ahead of myself.  Let me start from the beginning. 
When I was eight years old I had a pen pal named Timothy, whose parents [...]
