The Stomp Box: April 2008
http://thestompbox.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 18, 2008. It's Going To Be OK. Has God ever spoken to you? I can almost guarantee that He has, whether or not you can identify a specific time/place. I’ve tried to become more conscious of God’s voice in my everyday life. Hindsight is 20/20 and recently there have been situations where I had an impulse or a thought and had I acted on it, I would have saved myself trouble down the road. Here’s one example where I DID pay attention. Recognize them for what they might be and act on them. H...

The Stomp Box: February 2010
http://thestompbox.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 24, 2010. Don't Worry Video and preview. Just a quick teaser about this week's message at Cape Naz. It's the third sermon in the PEACE series entitled "Don't Worry". We'll be borrowing from Bob Marley, from NBCOlympics.com (that's where the curling footage is from), and mostly from Paul and his letter to the Philippians. Here's what Paul has to say about the idea of "don't worry". Action: Don't worry. pray. The Stomp Box is back open for business! Senior Pastor, Cape Naz.

The Stomp Box: November 2010
http://thestompbox.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Day 2: In Quito, Ecuador. We landed in Quito, Ecuador last night! Currently, I'm in the dining hall of the Nazarene compound. So far, things are going great! It was a long day of flying. Started at 6:15 am Nov. 1. We drove up to St. Louis to catch our flight out. Made it to Atlanta in mid-afternoon. A breif layover and then the 5 hour flight across the caribbean and down into South America. Everyone is healthy, happy, and ready to get going! Monday, November 1, 2010. I'll be up...

The Stomp Box: Prayer and Outreach
http://thestompbox.blogspot.com/2011/03/prayer-and-outreach.html
Wednesday, March 2, 2011. Sorry I've been away from blogging for awhile. I've been blogging out of my status updates on Facebook. It's not quite the same, I know. I apologize. Today, I'm exploring the connection between prayer and outreach (or "going" as I prefer to call it and will call it in this post). First, let me give you some very simple definitions. What is prayer? Basically, it's communing with God. What is outreach, i.e. "going"? Can you "go" without prayer? Consider what happens when we pray f...

The Stomp Box: Thirteen.31.prayer: Adoration
http://thestompbox.blogspot.com/2011/03/thirteen31prayer-adoration.html
Wednesday, March 16, 2011. Thirteen.31.prayer: Adoration. Thirteen.31.prayer week 1: Adoration. This is the first week of daily devotionals for Cape Naz’s thirteen.31.prayer series. We’re starting a month of prayer on March 13. It lasts until April 13. That’s 31 consecutive days of prayer. I wish I could say there is some deep spiritual meaning behind this series name, but there isn’t. It’s just prayer. It’s a month long. Each week we are going to take a look at different element of the ACTS model. It is...

The Stomp Box: August 2010
http://thestompbox.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 30, 2010. Can You Mess Up God's Plan? I had a friend today send out an email that really got me thinking. Here's the question that I drew from his conversation:. Can you mess up God's plan? This topic couldn't have come up at a better time as we (Cape Naz Church) are in the heart of our series on iDentity. So, we become nurses or engineers or doctors or pastors or whatevers. So, back to the questoin of the day: can we mess up God's plan? Why do we so often believe that the God who created ...

The Stomp Box: June 2010
http://thestompbox.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 27, 2010. Where have you been and when will you be back? I know that I've been short in posting lately. Summer and all that comes with it are hitting harder than I expected. It's been a great summer so far, filled with lots of swimming, a trip to the lake, long drives, camp, and more of the same to come! It's fun having a kid who gets a summer break. Jacob has finished his first year of school (kindergarten, of course) and we're trying to make the most of his time off.

The Stomp Box: March 2010
http://thestompbox.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 22, 2010. Check out this video teaser on Absolute Truth! This was filmed as a "Man on the Street" interview documentary. I edited it down to make it more blog friendly. Watch it, think about it. You can see the full version this Sunday, March 28th. Now, to the discussion. Do you believe in absolute truth? Tuesday, March 16, 2010. Truth, apparently, has been the subject of much debate over the last millenium or two. It's pursuit proved fatal to Socrates. It proved fatal to Kierkegaard's.

The Stomp Box: February 2009
http://thestompbox.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 27, 2009. This is slowly becoming a blog about home improvement projects! Last night I rushed home, fed the kids, and excitedly ripped into a package sitting by the front door. It was like Christmas Eve in February! Except instead of some fun toy, it held a new lid switch for our dated Kenmore washing machine. Oh the joy! One sliced pinky later, the cover was removed, the old lid switch extracted, the new one installed, and the cover back into position. Working time? And waited some more.
