IT’S JUST FREAKIN’ AWESOME!!! I am SO PROUD of our team at 7SD. We started this church and there have been ups and there have been downs, many downs… but today was just such a special day. We were asked to give the chapel service at San Diego Christian College in Santee, Ca. www.sdcc.edu. Trevor […] Read More
This is a very good article on the different ways an introvert or an extrovert have “devotional” time. There is not necessarily one way. I think the most interesting point of the article is when the author states, “We all primarily see the world through our own lens. The problem is, especially in this area […] Read More
Wow, seriously NFL? What has been happening with the replacement ref’s (bless their hearts) [which is always what you say before you rip someone] is a total joke. They are over their heads, unqualified and being used as pawns in a high stakes game NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is in charge of. He rolled the […] Read More
I am an optimist. I see the glass half full. No doubt about it. How else can one explain the fact that in my bean head I’m thinking the Padres might not lose another game this year? I’ve played the story out, I’ve seen the miracle, I feel it happening! They were by far, the […] Read More
MondayMorningInsight.com had a great post about Outsourcing Worship Leaders. It struck a chord with me because that is what we have done at Seven San Diego for the last year and it has benefited us and the worship leaders tremendously. I don’t think it’s the best plan overall. I would like someone that has the […] Read More
All in all today went great. Wolf Canyon looks like it will be a good home for us. It was hard for people to find but the 20 or so signs we had all over town seemed to help people find their way. There is so much potential for what we can do at this […] Read More
Friday night went great at Olympian HS. We had such a great turn out to help from our church that we cleaned the entire stadium both home and visitors side in about 20 minutes. Thanks to all who helped! The school was very grateful and we were glad to Serve Our Community. Our next clean […] Read More
Charger pre-season officially began on Saturday with a thrashing of the Dallas Cowboys. I know it’s only pre-season but if we’re keeping score I want to win and it was nice to get off to a great start. There are high expectations for the Bolts this year and we’re hoping for a Super Bowl. Whenever […] Read More
I’m not a huge tennis fan, but the final at Wimbledon I will watch. As a kid I used to watch Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg, Mats Wilander, Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe go at it at Wimbledon. It was the only thing on TV during the summer on ESPN and my TV was absolutely stuck […] Read More
Getting ready for a missions meeting of sorts. We are partnering with San Miguel Community Church to do a community wide Youth Olympics for kids in K-6th grades. We will also do this in conjunction with a church from Houston Texas who will send a team of 25 young people here to help us with […] Read More

We honored Mom’s and talked about God’s Design for the family. We’ve got some really creative people on our team who came up with the idea to give away free family […] Read More
Ok, I sinned. I’ve asked for forgiveness, I confessed it to the congregation this weekend. I have violated the sabbath. I haven’t had a true “off day” in a long time. I haven’t taken a sabbath. The fourth commandment was ignored in my life for a while. There were only 9 commandments I followed. However, […] Read More
Riley and I have a tradition that started three years ago when we made the drive from Apple Valley to the Padres game on opening weekend and the game was rained out. However, we did get a rain check and later watched the Rockies play the Padres. Last year we made it to the home […] Read More
EASTER Easter is the steroid injection every church needs to feel pumped up. We were on the juice Sunday. It was great seeing so many new faces from the community. On Saturday we had our block party Eggstravaganza which saw hundreds of families enjoying all the festivities including a basketball game for the dads, notice […] Read More
Just finished up at Seven SD. Palm Sunday went awesome and we dedicated three little ones to the Lord, a very exciting morning. It feels like we’re really hitting our stride and finding our groove. I’m very excited about next week and our Easter service. We are blanketing the community with 20,000 mailers that look […] Read More

Absolutely, getting Seven San Diego down the runway and getting ready for lift off has been a joy, a challenge, and all of the emotions one can imagine when doing something you passionately believe in. The […] Read More
Today was a win. A win in community service speak is an event that turns out to do just what one envisions and even more. Over 500 people came today to the Kids Matter Safety Fair. I have an awesome team to work with and they really pulled this off. Jules Sneddon is a huge […] Read More

Just a quick rant about my Celtics. This could be the year! The Celtics look good…good….The acquistion of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen has proven that Danny Ainge is the right man for the job with the C’s! They absolutely throttled the Nuggets last night! We had 78 points in the first half having built […] Read More
