Tonight I have the opportunity to address the group of students, doctors and nurses and sponsors who are on the mission trip to El Paso. What do you say to a group of folks who have taken a week of their time to travel hours from their homes in order to minister to people they [...]

Earlier this week I went to watch our hometown baseball team fight for a chance to go to the playoffs. It was a beautiful evening and there was a great crowd. The guys played well and ultimately won the game. At a pivotal point during the game, we had a runner on third and a [...]
In the Midst of a Monday

In the midst of a Monday . . . I realize that for some people, Sunday is technically the first day of the new week. But for the vast majority, Monday is when the week begins. And Monday is seldom seen as a good day. Have you ever noticed that people can’t stand Monday, but [...]
Come Awake

This morning, I watched the sun come up. As it painted orange and pinks into the wisps of clouds on the horizon, I could see the outline of birds moving from tree to tree and roof top to high line. Birds everywhere. They flitted from place to place seemingly at random. What appeared to me [...]

Yesterday, I made mention of the fact that the snow really did a number on the plans of many people. You can read that post here. But I found it interesting that today – a day that is just as icy and plan altering as yesterday – I got to the office and began to [...]

Isn’t it cool how God can use anything to connect people? Last night at our church meal time, Mike approached me and said, “I noticed on your Facebook page that you are a fan of Phil Keaggy.” I am sure my face lit up because it is not everyday that I run into people with [...]

One of my new found bands (new to me at least) that I enjoy to listen to is the Glitch Mob – not a Christian band – you can gasp now if you like. Their music falls into the electronica / jazz genre. At any rate, I like listening because most of their songs [...]

What would you do today if . . . What would you do today if you knew that tomorrow your job would come to an end? What would you do today if you knew that tomorrow your child was going to move to the other side of the world? What would you do today if [...]
