Crying Over Spilled Milk

The other day I opened my fridge to find an odd, white rectangular jug that Lisa had picked up from Costco.

Does God Want You To Be Rich?

Today’s question is a simple one that Christians have struggled with for centuries. I wrestle with the implications of this question all the time. In the increasingly consumeristic society we live in, how do we reconcile our excess with the need of millions around the world?
I’ve really come to the conclusion that there is no [...]

Pete the Rockstar Pastor

I’ve officially given up on trying to be as cool as Pete Wilson. There is no way I can top today’s post.

I’ve jokingly called him a “rockstar Pastor” – not to be derogatory but because he’s just such an awesome guy (and he does have a little bit of a tame rockstar look going on). [...]

The Coolest Desk EVER

Ok, is this not the coolest desk ever?? Think about the authority you could command in a meeting if you were sitting behind Han Solo frozen in carbonite!
Custom designed by Tom Spina Designs this one-of-a-kind custom Han Solo in carbonite desk was made for Mark Hall (lead singer of Casting Crowns). Just add a Darth [...]
