Fall officially began a couple of weeks ago, and it is in full swing around here now. The picture above was taken yesterday in my yard. I love this time of year. The leaves are turning and the temperatures become very pleasant – brisk mornings and warm afternoons. Everything is changing – it’s refreshing. As [...]

Present and Accounted For
Posted in Formation, Hope on October 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I read a blog post earlier this week from Glenn Packiam entitled, “Practicing the Wrong Presence.” (You can link to it here). In that post, Glenn makes the point that we often say we want to experience God’s presence. But in reality, God is always present. You quite possibly have heard me say or read [...]
Are You Judgmental?
Posted in Church, Formation, Grace on October 14, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Are you judgmental? What a way to start the post today! The Pray As You Go meditation today is focused on Romans 2:1-4 (you can read it here). We all judge – the act of comparison of ourselves to others leads us to judge. But in reality, we are no different than anyone else. We [...]
Some Days It Just Doesn’t Happen
Posted in Formation, Grace, Hope on October 13, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Some days it just doesn’t happen – you know? No matter how hard we try, some days we just never settle enough to hear from God. It should never be an excuse but I think rather than beat ourselves up, we should realize that God is near and trying to speak to us regardless of [...]
Make Time For The Important Things
Posted in Family, Parenting on October 12, 2009 | 1 Comment »
This past week was extremely busy for me. Normally, I have an evening or two at home with the family but this past week it didn’t happen. Then the weekend was crazy with things going on at church as well. Consequently, I spent no time with my family the entire week. I have to tell [...]
How Will They Ever Hear?
Posted in Church, Community, Formation, Missions on October 9, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I have been working through the book of Romans for quite some time during my prayer time. I have been camping out in chapter 10 for weeks. I think God is trying to tell me something. Maybe God will use this to tell you something as well. Romans 10:14 is a very logical illustration of [...]
It Takes More Than 140 Characters

In our tech savy world, we have become quite efficient. We have learned to do more with less – or have we? We have developed technology that helps us communicate with others in all kinds of new and creative ways – efficient ways. I can email someone in another city or even country and in [...]
Have Some Fun

I have been listening to the new David Crowder Band CD for about two weeks. I don’t know if you are a Crowder fan but I have always loved their music. I had the opportunity to visit University Baptist Church in Waco a few years ago and got to hear them there (they are the [...]
Living On The Beam
Posted in Formation, Motivational on October 6, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Sunday I did something out of the ordinary. I used a prop for my sermon on doing impossible things (I borrowed the illustration from Francis Chan). For about a third of the sermon I stood on a make shift balance beam about 3 feet off the stage. I used the balance beam to relate our [...]
The Mystery of God
Posted in Community, Formation, Hope on October 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Here are a couple of questions to start your week off in the right direction: ”Is your religion big enough for God? Does your belief system allow for mystery and faith?” The history of the church is such that mankind has worked very hard to define beliefs and answer life questions. This is not a [...]
