Understanding
Our puppy Brittany had surgery recently. This little 6 month old dog is supposed to wear a cone around her neck for 14 days and not do any jumping, stretching, and playing.
I don’t think she is understanding the instructions from the doctor.

Changes Everything
There have been a number of times in my life when I thought,
“this changes everything.”
Parking During A Holy Week
Sometimes it seems like it is feast or famine.
It is all or nothing.
It is chaos or calm.
This is Holy Week. A week that is set apart, a week that is specifically set aside to reflect upon what happened 2000 years ago in Jerusalem. A week with high highs and low lows.
During a week that is so big, that is so full, that we see so much of what God has done and is doing, it is also a week where we have so many people in town.
It is a bit of a feast, a bit of chaos, a bit of everything.
What I Notice.
I recently started working out again. I go through seasons of running or working out regularly and then I take breaks. I have lots of good excuses I tell myself in those seasons of not being as active…but that’s really all they are…just excuses. Other things take my time and attention, things that I think are priority float to the top of my to do list and caring for my health takes a back seat.
NEWS FROM THE TOWER VOL 7
March news from the tower! Easter info and more inside! As we continue to grow we are working to meet needs for all our people.
This months issue of The Tower includes news about kids, 20’s & 30’s, and moms!
A Wonderful, Beautiful Blessing of a Challenge…
When Sarah and I first moved to Texas, we had no kids and lived in a one bedroom, 800 sq ft apartment. We did not have great room for kids, but that wasn’t an issue, because we didn’t have any. Just 30 months later we had two kids under two. What wasn’t an issue before, now became a challenge.
The first Sunday Sarah and I were at The Chapel, our two boys were the only kids there. Just 30 months later we have a growing kids ministry. Currently the kids ministry is meeting in the woods, which is generally quite lovely, but it does not work year round. So we knew we had to figure out something else. What wasn’t an issue before, now is a challenge. A wonderful, beautiful blessing of a challenge.
A Bit Odd
This time of year is a bit odd. Sometimes it feels like winter and sometimes it feels like summer. Sometimes it is pouring down rain and sometimes I’m unexpectedly sunburnt. Some of the plants around my house are starting to show signs of life and others look like winter destroyed them and there is no hope. Parts of the country are getting incredible unexpected snow fall and others are getting tornados.
