Fly Fishing Nor Cal
I specialize in fly fishing from a drift boat on the Lower Sacramento or wading the Upper Sacramento RiverNorthern California has some of the best fly fishing in the United States without the crowds that many of the rivers in Montana, Colorado, and Alaska attract. With year-round fisheries for trout, steelhead, striper, and more, it’s hard to imagine a better location for those who love fly fishing!

Does Your Community Have an Eye on the Past, Present, & Future?
For the past week or so I've been thinking a lot about what I've been focused on in 2013 and what I'd like to focus on for 2014. I think there are a lot of people probably in the same boat. We're assessing our lives and examining what we have done and what we want to...
An Advent Meditation for 2013

The Top Ten Books that I read in 2013…
In 2013 I think it's safe to say that I read over 200 books. The fact that I just typed that actually freaks me out a little bit because that means that I averaged reading about 3.85 books a week. Apparently this confirms what everyone suspects: I'm a nerd. Oh well....
Moltmann on the “Logos” of Eschatological Christianity…
So it's Friday night and I'm sitting in the passenger seat while my wife drives us to the mall so that I can buy some Christmas presents. And here I am blogging on portions of Jürgen Moltmann. I love that I can open up Logos Bible Software on my iPad and read the...
Battling Loneliness is Evidence of the Holy Spirit!
Awhile back I did a series called "Peace in the Valley." I took texts that addressed doubt, failure, disappointment, and loneliness in order to provide some "pastoral care" through the messages to people who I may not have a chance to meet with one-on-one. One of the...
Should the Bible have a Warning Sign?
This afternoon I read a thought-provoking statement: I want to put a warning sign on the Bible just like tobacco companies put them on their cigarette packs. The label should say that without guidance, this book can lead to various side effects, such as mental...
Kingdom Come, by Sam Storms (pt. 2 of 5)
In our first look at Sam Storms' Kingdom Come, we considered his five foundational hermeneutical principles. We now turn to chapters two through five, which are as follows: Defining Dispensationalism The Seventy Weeks of Daniel 9 and the Old Testament Roots of...
An Interview with Trevin Wax…
