There is an older Chevrolet commercial set on a highway running through a cornfield. The opening scene shows a close up of the pavement with one kernel of corn laying there. After a few seconds, the kernel begins to vibrate and then suddenly it is catapulted into the air where it miraculously morphs into a [...]

Still Skiing
Posted in Uncategorized on March 16, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Two days of skiing has about got me worn out – and one more to go. It has been a great time so far. Pray for our group today. We ski until 4 and then get on a charter bus to drive all night (14 hours or so) arriving home around breakfast time tomorrow. One [...]
Skiing Without a Clue

I am spending a couple of days in Colorado with the youth of our church and my family. We are skiing at Crested Butte for three days (counting yesterday). I am not sure I am in any kind of shape to ski three days in a row but we are going to give it a [...]

There is a sticky note on the top right corner of my monitor that I keep there as a reminder. It is the only sticky note on my monitor (lest you think I am one of those who has sticky notes covering the circumference of my screen). The words on the sticky note say this, [...]

As I sat this morning in my chair and had my prayer and reading time, I looked to my right to see this sight. The question came to my mind, “Just how many remotes does it take to turn on a television?” I remember a day when the common statement in some households was something [...]

Today I was reading through Luke chapter 9 and ran across these verses. Jesus was giving the disciples their daily marching orders. He told them that they had the power and authority to heal the sick and cast out all kinds of demons. He also left no question as to the fact that they were [...]

Have you ever known someone whose given name reflected their occupation or career? Such as Mr. Farmer who farms for a living or Mrs. Cook who works in the school cafeteria? Last night we spent some time in the emergency room at the hospital with family friends whose son was in a car accident yesterday [...]
Developing Your Network

I just finished a book recently by Clay Shirky entitled, Here Comes Everybody. The book deals with issues around technology and social networking. There is a lot of information and challenging thoughts in the book but one of the things I took away from it was that as a leader, I should be developing my [...]
How’s Your Connection?

I am in Fort Worth today for a board meeting. I flew out last night and got to the hotel late. As I unpacked, I noticed that my shirt that I was planning on wearing today was wrinkled beyond what even I would normally wear. So I did what every liberated man would do – [...]
Another Milestone

Today marks a milestone in this blog “ministry” I started last April. Today is post number 200. That doesn’t even seem possible. It has been a real blessing and a growing experience for me. So today, I thought I would reflect for a second on what God has done in me through this effort. The [...]
