  • What Matters?

    What matters to you? What are the things that you use to base your decisions? What motivates the actions of your life? I’ve found in my short time in ministry, it’s easy for people to forget what really matters. It’s easy for us to get caught up in things that really have no bearing on…

    Yesterday, Melissa and I had to go to St. George to apply for our marriage license. Since we were already half way, we decided that we would go to the house for the day to get some things done.  Melissa bought a cabinet to hang on her bathroom wall a few weeks ago at Target.…
