many of you remember the scandal Ted Haggard was involved with. this past weekend, Steven Furtick brought Ted and his wife, Gayle, in for an interview. what was life like then? what is life like now? (2 1/2 years later) how did Gayle muster the forgiveness to stay with Ted? all these questions and more were asked.
it is definitely worth the watch. they talk about forgiveness, the power of sin, and the even greater power of the gospel.

it’s great to see someone, who has previously fallen, come back and prove the power of forgiveness and redemption.

i don’t want to be boastful…but tennis has always been my thing. check out our latest announcement video for velocity [some of the text got cut off - that's what i get for uploading the movie as a "large" file]
also…check out this video. josh set up his macbook at the beginning of service and pressed play.

this morning [saturday] we sent out a team of high school students to gleaners food bank. it’s cool to see teens desiring to help others…even if it means sacrificing half of a 85 degree day to be inside packaging food!
i [heart] service projects

steven furtick gave a message this past sunday on the benefits of the LORD.
How often do we overlook these? it was such a great reminder
psalm 103:1-4
Praise the LORD, O my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits-
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
on saturday morning me and some staff from northridge visited saline high school. why? you ask.
on september 13 I will be part of northridge church launching their very first satellite campus. the location? saline high school. now, doesn’t that all come together and make a whole bunch of sense? enjoy the short video…
these flowers were given to my parents for hosting easter at hour house…they looked great and smelled even better!

this is my cousin jason and myself. jason is a senior at michigan state…all around quality guy (that’s my sister acting like a creeper in the background)

taylor, mikayla and samira…some pretty sweet cousins, who also attend rustproof and velocity at northridge

this is the bunch watching tiger woods miss a key putt and sink even lower in the rankings
