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!

John Calvin on the Death of Christ
"The Creed next mentions that he “was dead and buried”. Here again it is necessary to consider how he substituted himself in order to pay the price of our redemption. Death held us under its yoke, but he in our place delivered himself into its power, that he might...
Michael Horton on Union w/ Christ
Michael Horton writes, "What a wondrous thing it is that even though Jesus Christ has been exalted to the throne of God, absent from us in the flesh, we may nevertheless only now be united to him in a manner far more intimate than the fellowship enjoyed by the...
You Don’t NEED Sex to Survive!

Imagine Hearing Jesus Say, “Do this in remembrance of me.”
Tradition has it that on a Thursday in 33AD, Jesus broke bread and passed a cup with His disciples. We now call this the Lord's Supper and celebrate it in remembrance of Jesus' broken body and shed blood. Much ink has been spilled on the various ways that we are to...
Yeah, It Sure Seems Like Jesus Said He’d Come Back After Things Get Worse!
"Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the...
Dietrich Bonhoeffer on “Who Determines if God is Found”
Bonhoeffer wrote to his brother in law, Rüdiger Schleicher, the following: "If it is I who determine where God is to be found, then I shall always find a God who correspond to me in some way, who is obliging, who is connected with my own nature. But if God determines...
Bonhoeffer’s Intellectual Integrity
I'm reading Eric Metaxas' Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Prophet, Martyr, Spy and absolutely loving it. This is one of the best biographies that I have read in a long time. I can't stop reading it, except for right now so I can blog about it (ha ha!). Go out and get this...
Pastor’s need some pastoring!
It would seem that very few pastors would agree with their need to be pastored. Various pastors have told me that they are the Lord's anointed or that they have the gifting and abilities that lead them to be above and beyond that "lowly" need of the flock. Actually,...
Who Has the Gift to Heal My Ingrown Toenail?
I have an ingrown toenail and I really hate it. Sometimes I've wondered if Jesus would have healed it during His earthly ministry, but then I've quickly wondered if I'm being irreverent and sacrilegious for asking such questions. I'm probably okay, but I have wondered...
