Is My Teen’s Behavior Normal?

The culture has changed, but teenagers haven’t.  They are still focused on trying to fit in with their peers and to make sense out of life.  But parents can get confused by their changes in attitude and the independence they seek, assuming their teenager is becoming rebellious.

It’s normal for teenagers to fail to do their chores without ten reminders, to put off their homework, to be emotional, to lose important things, to like music that is too loud, and to sometimes counter or question authority.  That’s all pretty typical, though it can be aggravating to parents.

The Continual Quest for More!

The latest and greatest for the blog!

I've been experimenting around with videos, text, and now audio. The videos are ok, but if you don't have a good connection its a waste of time! Not to mention that no one really likes to watch me talk?!

Who is the Greatest? A lesson in servant hood

Sneek peak at this Wednesday. Bear with me, it's getting better! See the post before this one to help me know how much lag is happening, I may shoot this at a smaller resolution.

video lag

How much do my videos lag when you view them? (Lag means that the video stops while your computer buffers more video) Since I am still trying to learn how to do this efficiently, I don't have enough time to just sit down and burn a day refining it all. So, I will be "perfecting" my video presence from week to week. One bit at a time!

Please leave a comment saying how many seconds the video plays until the first stop!

Redo last week!

Here's a new video format, it's only 1 minute long, but the words should match my mouth. See last weeks video for the inside scoop for this weeks Pathfinders.

Sowing at Pathfinders

This Wednesday we are looking at Mark 4:3-20 and the parable of the sower. I have yet to get my voice synced to my lips (computers don't quite work like humans do!)

Pathfinders starting a new direction!

Watch this 5 minute video (don't watch...listen! The video quality is horrible!). This will give a brief introduction into the direction of Pathfinders as well as what to expect this Wednesday!

Every good path has a beginning

Pathfinders had started out with a handful of students that God divinely planned to start in a direction that those students had no idea would get so worn and traveled. A path that started small is now becoming a city of roads called legacies made by students living their lives out genuinely and passionately for the Lord! It is my hope that this blog continues in the original direction of the path, traversing through Middle School, developing into High School and now branching out online through leaders and students alike. May this next direction of ministry bring glory and honor to the One that made it all!
