Global Warming

Has the weather been unusual of late or is it just me? Okay, everybody knows it has. An of course, “Global Warming” is getting the blame.
I blame it on the Tsunami.
Now, some might blame the Tsunami, but I don’t know enough about either to be an expert on this. But, I do [...]

I believe in Santa Claus!

I watched through the peephole of my six year old video camera as my kids opened their Christmas presents with much anticipation and with little patience.
Rip!
Tear!
Wrapping paper scattered all around the room, and high pitched glee coming from the hearts of kids who have no idea what Christmas is all about, but certainly know more [...]

You are…stupid surveys

You Are Likely a First Born

At your darkest moments, you feel guilty.
At work and school, you do best when you’re researching.
When you love someone, you tend to agree with them often.
In friendship, you are considerate and compromising.
Your ideal careers are: business, research, counseling, promotion, and speaking.
You will leave your mark on the world with discoveries, [...]

It’s a long road back, if you take it.

Tonight I read an article by an old pastor friend of mine. We are still cordual to each other, but due to various circumstances, we aren’t in “fellowship” with one another anymore. But, I still check in on him from time to time, and I think of him often and well. [...]

That was for you, Watchman!

HA! You know you love the new header! I have a man-crush on Rob Bell. So!? At least I admit it, Watchman!

Thanks, Lori!

Lori let me bum some cd’s off her tonight. I’m saving them to my computer right now.

Johny Lang, “Wander this World”
Hootie & The Blow Fish, “Let Her Cry”
Richard Marx, “Greatest Hits”
Brian Adams, “So Good So [...]

I believe…

For the first time in a long time I believe.
For the first time in a long time I acted on faith and made a decision. I went all in, knowing I had the loosing hand, but believing in something someone told me.
I lost the hand.
But, I think I won.
Because it’s been a long [...]

Check out Rob Bell’s message entitled “Calling All Peacemakers I & II” here.
Make sure you read the pdf here. It should rock your world. If it doesn’t, then you can’t say you love God.

Best of Both Worlds or Everybody’s Favorite Heretic

The here and now is usually not the focus of most Christians. The focus is on heaven. The afterlife. What it takes to get there. Following Jesus for the future: eternal life.
But, maybe we have things out of focus.

Whoa, you don’t have to die an’ go to heaven

Or hang around to [...]

Conversational Dierrhea

Today I had some coffee with my good friend, Jonathan, who is the planting pastor of Jacob’s Well. He invited me to sit in on a conversation he was having with another friend and consultant, Tim.
They talked a lot about Jacob’s Well, its vision, its history and its future.
Then I was asked to take [...]

Love, Pain & the whole crazy thing…

The jury is still out on Keith Urban’s new cd, “Love, Pain & the whole crazy thing”.
What I like about KU’s cd’s is that they really flow well and that they seem thematic throughout. Although he is Country’s top male artist, and several of his songs off his last cd, “Be Here” were number [...]
