If you followed her story, you know she was a devout follower of Jesus.  He gave her strength and joy - a sentiment echoed in her blog over and over. The memorial service was held at the church she grew up in - Cornerstone Church in Heath OH.

Do you know who Jane Marczewski was? She died this week at the age of 31. You might remember her if you re-watch her audition on America's got Talent.

In 1989, I attended a Pastor's conference at Muskoka Baptist Conference, two hours north of Toronto, ON.  At the time, I was an Associate Pastor in a church in Toronto.

The speaker was the pastor of a growing church in  La Mesa, CA.  I'd never heard of him but I remember one of the first things he said.

One Friday morning last month I decided to ride to Nashville, TN for lunch.  It's 260 miles so I made it right around 1:00 pm.  I love Nashville and the ride there and back on the coutry roads was incredibly relaxing.

With everything going on this year (2020), we obviously couldn't go to church and meet as we normally would on Easter Sunday. As part of our "service" this year, I created this video to encourage people. I hope it's a blessing to you as well.

My Drupal 8 Beginner Tutorials course on YouTube just hit 3,000,000 views! 

What a privilege to share Drupal with so many people! I travel all over the United States teaching Drupal.  I suppose I should have kept better track - but the number of students is around 800-900 over the past 9 years.

This is in the "just for my sanity" department.  I've been getting into woodworking as a hobby and "fun" thing to do.  Creating this workbench is outside the realm of my normal work life, so needless to say, I'm having fun!

I’m at the spring “Get Energized” event for the Dearborn County Chamber of Commerce (that’s Indiana... not Michigan).  It could be entitled “Lessons in Leadership”.
