Honored to spend the last two days teaching and mentoring pastors and wives in the AG Northwest Large Church Network. A great group of ministry leaders doing great things, with an even greater future.

Spent a few days out in Rancho Mirage regathering the original N Coast 3 Musketeers - Paul & Jill Savona, Mike & Lin Yearley - Gives a new definition to “old” friends.

Nancy & I were blessed once again this year with the best Christmas gift ever (next to Jesus): Family that actually gets along loves hanging out together.

Sunday after church Nancy and I took a walk on the beach. We have often marveled at the grace (Completely UNMERITED favor) that has allowed us to minister in beautiful San Diego - Don’t deserve it but thankful for it.

We enjoyed watching two of our grandkids (Jonah & Kellen) play basketball Saturday. At least that’s what they claimed they were playing. 😎 🏀

The Ice Skating rink at the beach in San Diego last night (at the Hotel Del Coronado). This is why you’ll never find us Dreaming of a White Christmas.

San Diego Socker’s game last night at Frontwave arena with Josh, Kara, Jonah& Kellen. Fun night, kids got player autographs, great seats. And the kids think they’re at a World Cup game.

Always a joy to host local SD pastors and church planters for a couple of hours of Q&A every few months - And same for preaching this weekend at N Coast - Did you know Jesus has an Elfster list? It’s found in Romans 12:1-2

Blessed to spend Thanksgiving with Nancy cooking and hosting another family gathering. Psalm 127 & Proverbs 31:1 Truth

After finally getting home from St Louis (a 2 day Gong Show), yesterday was a blast. Preached for my friend Doug Reid at Coast City where God is doing some great things. Then sat courtside at the Clippers G-League game with my basketball son, Josh. Some days it’s good to Larry.

Road Warrior Life: 2 great days with Matt Bartig’s team at Northroad Church in St Louis area followed by 2 days of canceled and delayed flights trying to get back to San Diego. Looking forward to preaching for Doug Reid at Coast City this weekend IF I ever get home.

Spent the last few days mentoring and tackling ministry challenges with these Global Leadership Network host pastors. GLN continues to rock.

As always, loved the privilege of preaching at North Coast this weekend - Digging into Matthew 11:1-19 NOT THE JESUS ANYONE EXPECTED

Great few days mentoring this incredible group of ministry leaders from some amazingly large and fast growing ministries - Aslan is on the prowl!

Blessed to spend the last 4 days with preaching and doing some staff training for Zach Weihrauch and his team at Christ Community Chapel in Hudson OH. Great church and team. And awesome seats at a Cav’s game thrown in for good measure.

Awesome time with our kids and their spouses last night celebrating Nancy’s 39th birthday - When I call her my best friend it’s not a cliche. Next to Jesus, she’s the best thing that ever happened to me - by far.

Thankful for pastor James Griffin who brought the heat this weekend to our North Coast annual Men’s Conference and our weekend services.

Honored to spend 3 days this week pouring into these Ukrainian pastors from the US, Canada, and Ukraine. And "yes", we did more than eat good food. A lot more.

Thanks to Valerie Hollister and her team along with Megan Marshman, Jason Mitchel, Karya Montanez, Chris Brown, and Glenn Packiam for making this week’s N Coast Leadership Conf such a huge success.

Nancy and I are resting in Rancho Mirage after an awesome 6 days preaching & then training staff for Chris & Nan Bell @ 3 Circle team in beautiful Fairhope, AL; then another 2 days speaking in Houston @ the Level Up Conference for Jim Putman & the Relational Discipleship Network.
