Yesterday, I told you about a man who distinctly influenced me early in my life. Brother Green was the pastor of the church I grew up in as a child. In fact, he is the pastor who baptized me. I have to be honest, I can’t say that I remember every sermon he preached (did [...]

The Truth and Relevance of God’s Word
Posted in Formation, Leadership on October 24, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Yesterday in our worship service, we talked about the importance of God’s word. Think about those two words used together – God’s word. The very words of God. 2 Timothy 3:16 says that scripture is God-breathed. The image is the same as that given in Genesis 2 when God breathed life into the first man. [...]
Steve Jobs and Making Your Mark

A genius passed yesterday. It is no secret that I am an Apple fiend. You can find just about anything put out by Apple in my home. Today, I am writing this on my iPad 2. So today is a sad day. Steve Jobs, creator and innovator of Apple, passed away yesterday after several years [...]
In Spite of My Plan

Have you ever had one of those days? Yesterday started out to be “one of those days.” I got up at my normal 6:10 to get my youngest son up and off to cross-country practice. I took him to practice and then returned home to get ready for work and a busy day. At 7:25 [...]
Service in the Midst of Threats
Posted in Leadership, Missions on August 9, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I had a unique opportunity last night. As many of you who read my ramblings on a regular basis may know by now, I am involved fairly heavily in mission efforts to the El Paso, Texas area. In the past, before the violence became so severe in Juarez, Mexico, I led groups into Mexico as [...]
How Would Jesus Do Your Job?
Posted in Formation, Leadership on August 4, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I am sure you have heard of the movement WWJD. For many years we saw the bracelets and the T-shirts with the acronym displayed on them. I actually thought it was a great idea and I still do. Asking the question, “What would Jesus do?” became a pretty popular thing to ask among believers. But [...]
The Leader and the Ladder
Posted in Leadership on August 2, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to sit through a leadership training event. The day was well spent. None of the things I heard were new to me but it is always good to hear them again and maybe with a new twist. One of the things that stuck in my mind from yesterday was the [...]
Drastic Change in Environment

After a hot night at camp, I was looking forward to a change of climate. I am now in Washington, DC, at the National Association of Church Business Administration national conference being held at the Gaylord National Hotel and Conference Center. I had to arrive on Wednesday as part of my responsibility serving on the [...]
Retirement? I Don’t Think So!

Last night I watched one of the most inspiring news segments that I have seen in a long time. I am not sure where the story took place, but the coverage was about two softball teams. Now you may be thinking, “What is so special about softball teams?” Well, let me tell you. These teams [...]
Why Are You Here?
Posted in Formation, Hope, Leadership on April 7, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Have you ever wondered why you were born where and when it happened? I mean, why was I born in Texas in the mid-60′s? Why not in Europe in the 1800′s or Israel in 12 AD? I read this earlier this morning and it reminded me that God has a plan for each of us. [...]
