#10. Day Off in the ER – this was not one of my favorite days of the year, but the post highlighted the day our daughter, Ella, was in the ER with some issues – and I’m happy to report that she’s healthy as ever and loving life!

#9. Our New Home – this post was one of our updates on our situation after knowing that we were moving to Shippensburg from New Stanton and nailing down the fact that we finally knew WHERE we were moving to in Shippensburg!

#8. The Anatomy of our Family Christmas Photo – I hope this one caused some laughs.

#7. Dad Life Video – I was simply providing a link to the hilarious resource “Dad Life” – a video created and distributed by the Church on the Move.

#6. Handbrake to the rescue again! – one of my techy-posts this past year. I highlighted using the program “Handbrake” to convert video files for upload to our church’s Cloversites website.

#5. Next Steps for the Sheets’ – this was the post immediately following our resignation at Armbrust Wesleyan.

#4. Shippensburg Sheets – this post was the update-post about us knowing where it is the Lord was leading us through our ministry-transition!

#3. Life’s For Sharing | Life IS For Sharing – thanks to my cousin Kenny for popularizing this post (and the video) on my blog.

#2. Ella Loves The Stage – Ella’s preschool Spring concert caused quite the traffic-increase on my blog this year! If you haven’t seen the video, you won’t understand.

#1. Minute To Win It – this post featured a few embedded videos of our youth group at Armbrust performing some of the Minute To Win It games, plus some of the resources I created for implementing the game into youth ministry. Since posting, I have shared the “blueprint” video files with dozens of people across the country!

The Sunday before Christmas it was a special honor to have Rev. Walter Malaza, Wesleyan District Superintendent in Swaziland with us at First Wesleyan. He spoke powerfully on our need to know what we’re doing for Christ.

On Christmas Eve we had around 70 people join together for our worship & candlelight service! I have continued to hear how special that service was for many of our church people and their friends and family that came with them.

This past Sunday I finished up our series, “Come Together” with a sermon entitled, “Love that changes the world”. Sermon audio is available here on our church website.

As 2010, draws to a close, I am excited about what God is going to continue to do in and through our church in the coming year! Please continue to pray for our family and our ministry at First Wesleyan – we are trusting the Lord for great things!

Love this beautiful work by St. Paul’s Church in New Zealand:


I love Scott’s heart and motivation behind this “open letter” to Oprah!

I’m posting it here to help and do my part in getting this viewed by the right people to eventually have it seen by Oprah, herself!

I believe if she got on board board with this, we could see the water crisis reversed in our lifetime.
