I was introduced to a new artist last week and I have listened to his latest album no less than 8 times since Thursday. His sound is unique and his lyrics will make you stop what you are doing and just listen (which makes driving and listening a bit sketchy). Josh Garrels is his name [...]

Virtual or IRL?
Posted in Community, Formation, Hope on April 12, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Everything is virtual. Well not really. But our world is moving toward a virtual way of doing just about everything at a scary pace. We can talk to people around the world and actually see their image on the screen in front of us. We can hold meetings with multiple people at the same time without [...]
Living Resurrected
Posted in Church, Community, Formation, Hope on April 11, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Easter has come and gone. Or has it? The Christian calendar now actually moves into the season of Easter. For the next 50 days (leading up to Pentecost), we will be in the Easter season. I must confess, I was not raised to pay an overwhelming amount of attention to the Christian calendar so when [...]
The Reality of the Cross
Posted in Formation, Grace, Hope on April 6, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Today is Friday of Holy Week – Good Friday. This is the day we remember the cross. It began with a mock trial that ended with an angry mob yelling, “Crucify.” It then moved to beating and humiliation and then ultimately to the cross where Jesus was brutally murdered. All of this for my sin [...]
Walking Through Holy Week
Posted in Community, Formation, Hope, tagged Community, Formation on April 2, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Yesterday was Palm Sunday. A day we remember as the day Jesus entered Jerusalem with his face set toward the cross. The people who lined the streets on that Sunday had no idea of what was coming. In fact, they were welcoming a king – the savior of the world who would restore Israel to [...]
Who Put Jesus on the Cross?

I love music – all kinds of music (not particularly fond of the red neck stuff – but even that I can take in doses). I love to sing too. Unfortunately, I am not all that good at it. It’s kind of like when people ask me if I am a golfer; my common [...]
Do You Really Need a Savior?
Posted in Formation, Grace, Hope on March 27, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Why does God offer us salvation? Are we really that bad off? Do we need to be saved? The world would tell us that we are OK – that we can save ourselves. Or worse yet, that we don’t need salvation. The Bible teaches us differently. It explains that we all have a sinful nature [...]
Thinking About Connection
Posted in Community, Formation, Hope on March 26, 2012 | 1 Comment »
I have been thinking. Last week I mentioned that I have the opportunity to speak to a group of pastors and church leaders at a social media workshop today. I asked for your help in defining the impact this ministry of Clay In The Hands has had in the lives of the readers. I have [...]
Living From the Center
Posted in Formation, Grace, Hope on March 22, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Where is your center today? You might look at your midsection and say well – right above my naval. But that is not the center to which I am referring. What I am asking is where your focus today? At the heart of who you really are – deep down – that place that defines [...]
A Little Time Away
Posted in Formation, Grace, Hope on March 14, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
We are in the midst of spring break in our area. It is a time of year that our school calendar dictates the rest of the community, even if you don’t have kids in the school system. Many people take their families and get out of town. It is a time to get away and [...]
