Wanna be rocked in your gut? Watch this video message from Pastor Mark Chandler on The Village Church website.

Pastor Mark had a seizure on Thanksgiving morning and was quickly taken to the hospital where they discovered a tumor on his brain.

He is currently recovering in the ICU at the hospital and reportedly doing well following the surgery that happened just a couple days after he shot this powerful video.

The video shows a real-life faith that comes from knowing that our Lord is in complete control. The video rocked me this afternoon.

Particularly, this phrase:

“…but none of those things is better than Him [Jesus].”

If you haven’t already, watch the video.

I have officially been “schooled” and so will you – now, who wants to go try this ASAP!?


Watch this, you won’t regret it:


Our youth group enjoyed our second-annual “Night of 1000 Thanks” this past Wednesday. It was truly a worshipful time. Here’s our video from this year:


We put up our Christmas Tree today. Why? Because we could. This time of year is EXTREMELY busy for the pastoral-family, so we took advantage of my day off and got our Christmas-decorating on!

We jammed to a Pandora Christmas channel and even had our traditional breakfast of freshly baked orange rolls!

Enjoy our time-lapse video (becoming a tradition in our family).

When you’ve watched this year’s video, be sure and re-watch some of our previous ones – 2008, 2006.



It’s fun to watch the clock on the wall during the video to see just how much time elapses while we’re decorating. We also have a family-tradition of praying after we’ve completed the tree together, asking God to bless the Season and to remind us to keep Him first through the hectic times we’re sure to face in the coming weeks. We’re also reminded at how blessed we are as a family as we put the ornaments on the tree and remember the stories behind the ornaments each year!

Ella had a blast helping this year. Every time she put an ornament on the tree it went in the same 1-foot by 1-foot section. We’re leaving them there!
