Prayer On The Run

Prayer On The Run

Prayer life been lacking lately? Forget your morning quiet time before leaving the house? No worries, just stop at a prayer booth and get your prayer in on the run! Funny, yes. But unfortunately, not as far from the truth as we may think. I just read in Mad Church disease the results of a study…

Based on those short glimpses I realize it would be easy to come to some incorrect conclusions about our relationship and how we function.

I’m A Pretty Good Liar

I’d like to think that I’m a pretty honest, straightforward person. If you ask me, I’ll generally tell you what I think. I especially try to be open and transparent on my blog where I hit topics that some may consider controversial head on. But the truth of the matter is that many times I’m [...]

Feed Me!

I’ve come to the realization that my blog has a voracious appetite. Every morning when I wake up I can hear it calling to me. “Write on me! Feed Me!” And of course I willingly oblige it. Throughout the day it wants little snacks. People have read what I’ve written and leave comments. So many [...]

I’ve Been Churched

My Review of ‘Churched’ by Matthew Paul Turner I received an advance copy of Churched in the mail a couple of weeks ago and was anxiously looking forward to reading it. I knew it was going to be good because only great writers get to use their first, last and middle name on the book [...]

He’s Old School

Meet Joshua White. He’s old school. This morning I posted about the arrival of my new business cards and asked if anyone still used a Rolodex. Josh does and he sent me visual proof that when he needs a phone number or email he flips till he finds it. I thought someone as old-school as [...]

Our “Do Something” Project

Lisa and I were inspired to put a project into motion by Mandy Thompson’s ‘Do Something’ series of blog posts (Thanks Mandy for the extra kick in the butt those posts provided to get this done). Since we moved here over the summer we’ve been thinking of small, simple ways we could love and serve [...]

Cracked Pots

Sometimes I forget how really unimportant I really am. Don’t take that the wrong way. I know we’re all created in the image of God and have the destiny for greatness within us. But in the grand scheme of this life I live on the planet I was born onto I am so tremendously under-qualified [...]

CONFESSION: I Care Way Too Much About What Other People Think Of Me

The reason I chose this as my first confession is because most of my other confessions come back to this one in some way or another. Be sure to read this first. We’re taught from an early age to ignore the kids who tease us at school. “Their opinion doesn’t matter,” we’re told but when [...]
