I thought I would do something a little out of the ordinary for the post today. Last Friday night I was a loyal fan and made the one hour trek to our season opener high school football game. The weather was perfect and the stands were full. I thought I would share with you [...]

Change Through Love and Grace
Posted in Church, Community, Grace, Leadership on August 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I have been talking all week about change. Change is a part of life – we all change and grow. But even though change is a part of life, not everyone embraces it. All of us like to be comfortable. We may say that we want change and really mean it – as long as [...]
Walls or Patios
Posted in Church, Community, Grace, Hope on August 27, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Yesterday I mentioned that I would be talking about walls today. I have been thinking a lot about walls (I still have a wall in one of the rooms in our house I built a while back and I’ve never finished – hmm, maybe I’ll do that this weekend). Walls have one main purpose – [...]
An Unlikely Meeting
Posted in Church, Community, Grace, Missions on August 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I had a great conversation yesterday with a gentleman about change – change in the lives of people, change in our community and change in our churches. The cool thing about it was that the conversation was not between two people who would normally interact on this level. We have known each other for years [...]
Are You Willing?
Posted in Church, Formation on August 25, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Yesterday I talked about the fact that we often fail to follow God’s leadership because we become so accustomed to God’s word that we fail to see it as relevant and alive – we skim right over what it means for us now. Today I am thinking about another reason we fail to follow God’s [...]
Hidden In Plain Sight

One of the oldest school buildings in our community has a very interesting element that I find amusing. On the south end of the building, just above the entrance into the gym are three or four reliefs – concrete, life-sized athletic figures formed right into the wall about 20 feet above the ground. This building [...]
If Not You . . . If Not Now . . .

Tobymac has a new song out called, “City On Our Knees,” you can hear a clip here. In the song he asks the questions, “If we gotta start somewhere, why not here? If we gotta start sometime, why not now?” So many times we want change but we expect it to start somewhere else or [...]
God is Sufficient in All Things

I was reminded yesterday just how blessed I am. I follow @serenawoods on Twitter. She is writing as a guest blogger here. As I have read her posts over the past two days I have been moved as to how God has worked in her life. I have also realized just how God has protected [...]
Pandora and Spiritual Practices
Posted in Formation on August 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I hit my Pandora radio limit yesterday – and it was only the middle of the month. Pandora is an online music site that allows you to set up an account and then set up different “stations” based on the genre of music you like. Last month they announced that they were going to limit [...]
The Radiance of God’s Glory
Posted in Formation, Hope, Motivational on August 18, 2009 | 3 Comments »
This morning I did something out of the ordinary, even for me. I got to church early and felt compelled to spend some alone time with God (that part is not that out of the ordinary). But today I climbed up on the roof of the church and sat right on the ridge of the [...]
