Walking the walk

                   There are a handful of things that will send my day into the “it’s a great day” category.  A date with my wife, a slow morning with a spectacular cup of coffee, a great workout, a conversation with a great friend,  being on a golf course instead of the office, or extra time in [...]

They said so

                Things are changing in the FFUMC youth group.  The excitement level is way up, the feeling of family when we get together is stronger, and commitments to Christ are stronger than ever before.  Since returning from Resurrection 2009 it has been a lot of fun to watch the youth step into the real world [...]

Here we go!

             Many of my youth are bouncing off of various school (or home…if they’re missing school because of the cold) walls today!  We leave in just a handful of hours for the 2009 edition of Resurrection in Gatlinburg.  Greeting us in Gatlinburg will be the coldest air of the season as temperatures reach near zero [...]

Time for a little prayer

                 Today’s post will be short and sweet.  If you are reading this I am guessing that for some crazy reason you have a small amount of interest in the happenings of the Tennessee Aronowitz’s!  During our calendar year there are a handful of weeks that stand out as the most chaotic, the most busy, [...]

The preparations continue

             As the countdown to our departure shrinks I have found myself in an increasing state of personal chaos!  Am I organized? Yes.  Is everything coming together? Yes.  Are my kids and leaders all excited? Yes.  So why the irregular heartbeat as I sit here at my desk?  As somebody that could be labeled as a [...]
