Church Planning and Smash TV

By Dan on Friday, March 12, 2010

Here’s a video that shows an incredible machine that works efficiently to get the job done. In the background, however, I see evidence that it took some work. Check it out.

I am the problem. This post explores a new way of interacting with people to help resolve conflicts easier.

Love for the Dogs

By Dan on Thursday, March 4, 2010

Love for the Dogs

When someone hurts us, we put up walls of self defense that keep us from getting close to anyone else. Seeing my son and my dog react to a stray dog in our yard reminds me of a time in my life when I learned that lesson first hand.

About Me

Welcome to Church and tea! My name is Dan. I’ve been married to Cindy for 9 years. We have two boys, 7 and 3 years old. I am a Florida native and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Religious Studies from the University of Florida and a Master of Divinity degree from the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. This site is called churchandtea simply because I am a United Methodist Pastor and I love sweet tea. I often find myself trying to solve the world’s problems over a glass of sweet tea. Feel free to pour yourself a glass and join in the discussion!

Anniversary!

Cindy and I will celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary in 5 months and 28 days.
