Glimpse of the Old
I will fail at trying to describe the feelings I’m experiencing. But if I don’t try, I won’t feel good about myself. Yesterday I saw a close friend I haven’t seen in almost two years. He represents the good I experienced in one of the darkest times of my life so far. Without him and [...]

A day off
One of my greatest struggles is taking a real day off. I get bored. I start to work. I sin by not taking a real sabbath (Sunday is a work day for us in the ministry). My blessing is a curse. I get paid to do what I love to do. My work, for the [...]

Worst Buy.
So this post isn’t about spirituality. But it is about common sense. I’m a creative professional, and I eat through hard drive space like Skittles. I also don’t have an effective back up solution. My livelihood is on the line, and I need more space. If a hard drive failed, I’d be *insert bad words here*. I [...]

No.
Church planting is officially hard. But it’s officially worth it. I’ve made the mistake at saying yes to a lot of things, instead of saying no to a lot of things. It’s so hard to say no. I’ve said yes to so many things and people, that the one yes that really matters sometimes slips [...]

something magical happened today
I bought a 3 man, 14′ canoe with two of my really good friends. Just got back from Medina Lake, and we might have broken a few laws on accident. But I won’t name names.

Everyone’s Dream
Do you think every musician aspires to record a CD, and every pastor to write a book? What is it that makes everybody feel like they have something everyone wants? Mostly, the reality of these ambitious people is packed storage closets full of dated CDs and books. But thats the beauty of America and today’s [...]

Hurting? Re:pair
I’ve been busy lately, and that’s an understatement. I’ve been spending a lot of time with friends, and continuing our venture with Gateway. I’ve also been doing a lot of studying and prayer on the subject of hurt, and what we do when we are hurting. I could write it out, but it would be [...]

Number 10
I heard someone say one time, “the man who makes $30K a year thinks the man who makes $60K is materialistic. And the man who makes $60K a year thinks that the man who makes $100K a year is materialistic, and so on and so forth.” The fact is, materialism begins where your income ends. [...]

Fast and Judging.
For the past 3 months I’ve been intentionally trying to second guess my American impulses, thanks to John. There is far to many impulses to name, but I’ll just mention two: fast and judging. Fast. We like fast food, drive through banks, lines of credit, and payment at the pump. As Americans, we want what [...]

lost phone number. faithful God.
Yesterday as I was driving, I thought of an old friend from Wichita Falls that I used to visit on adopt-a-block. He was my favorite stop, and his name is Old School. I used to have his number, but lost it. For some reason I really wanted to talk to him, but had no way [...]
