Well, the World Cup has started and now our quadrennial fascination with soccer has begun. It will be short-lived as it only lasts a month or so, less if you are only cheering for the team from the USA. But during that time many Americans will cheer for people that we barely know, and get…
My 2013 New Year’s Resolutions
Well, 2013 just began, is two weeks in, is almost a month old. Therefore, It is about time to declare my resolutions to the world. I don’t take these lightly. In fact, I am very serious about personal self-improvement. I accomplished all of my 2011 resolutions and 3 out of 5 of my 2012 resolutions.…
Best Christmas List EVER!
Christmas is just around the corner. I’m reminded of this every time I accompany my wife to Hobby Lobby or Michael’s, who have had Christmas decor out since the last week of July. To be exact, only 72 days left to buy gifts for everyone on your lists. So, for all of you who were…
Extreme Church Innovation!
I was thinking the other day. I know, you’re impressed, so was I. But back to my story. I was thinking about innovation in the church. I was in attendance at the WillowCreek Global Leadership Summit. I was in a near dream state induced by sitting in a dark room listening to people talk about…
4 Jobs Everyone Should Experience
I’ve had my fair share of jobs. I started working as a dishwasher at a small cafe when I was 14. I liked the job. It wasn’t hard, I worked with mostly nice people, I got LOTS to eat, and owner paid me in cash every day. Since then, I have always had at least…

Still Celebrating the Resurrection!
The Christian equivalent of the Super Bowl is now over. Easter is crunch-time for ever church staff member I know. At Grace Church we had a great Easter weekend. Good Friday service reminded us of the death of Jesus as well as the new life because of the large number of baptisms we witnessed. I…
My Lenten commitment.
I’m joining with thousands of facebookers and have decided to give up something for 40 days. I’m not sure why all of these people are giving stuff up but I’m thinking about trying to tie it in with my Christian faith. 40 seems like a biblical number and I think Jesus said something about sacrifice……
My (highly achievable) 2011 Resolutions
I finally got my new year’s resolutions set. It only took me 10 days to do it. Actually, it did not take me very long at all. I put it off for almost 9 days, and gave it very little thought. Then, I realized 2011 was already here and I had to hurry to make…
My favorite spiritual gift
We just finished our last session of “Contagious Christian” study today in Edwin’s Bible study. It was a good study and I’m glad people are seeking to find ways to share their faith. I wish I was a better evangelist. But, what I really want is a more specific gift… evangelism linebacking! This video gives…
