My Pedicure Adventure

12 years ago

606 words

I like to think of myself as a man’s man. If I’m not that manly, at least a guy’s guy. If I’m not that I’m surely not a girly, girl. But, the other day I have to say I enjoyed something that women love, the pedicure. Let me explain how this happened. No, I didn’t…

The Tragedy in Colorado – A Limited Perspective

12 years ago

254 words

It’s taken me a number of days to wrap my head around what happened in Aurora, CO. I still don’t know what exactly to think. It is absolutely terrible. I can’t understand what would motivate a person to something like that. To me, this is worse than suicide bombers and snipers that we have grown accustomed…

Matthew 9:35–38 (NET) 9:35 Then Jesus went throughout all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and sickness. 9:36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion…

80 words

This passage is hard to teach on. Mainly because it’s hard to live out. I’m not sure if I love my Savior more than my kids… or my wife… or my family. It’s hard to quantify and even harder to demonstrate that I love Jesus, whom I’ve never seen or had to provide for, more…

432 words

Here is the question I’m posing: Is the Gospel a virus? I’m not talking about the spread of the Gospel. I do agree that the spread of the Gospel is, and should be, viral. What I am talking about has more to do with being immune to the Gospel. Let me preface this conversation with…
