When I talk about pursuing church planting, I always tell others how I was horribly scared and confused when I began thinking about the idea. Some of those feelings make since for such a large project and some of them should continue. Others, however, I think were just a result of feeling lost, overwhelmed, and [...]

I know it doesn’t seem right to complain about work in a down economy, but the truth is that most Americans are not satisfied with their jobs. Most do not want to be defined but what they do during office hours or the work they must manufacture each day in order to keep the lights [...]

Whenever I have been asked the proverbial “if you could meet anyone, who would it be” question, I have almost always passively joked, “myself 5 years from now.” But that’s probably not such a bad answer. I mean, who would have more personal insight and vested interest in our growth and well being than an [...]

A couple posts ago I wrote about how busy my life has been lately. I realized that with my busy schedule, one of the things I was making less time for was personal, alone time with God. Last week I took an entire morning alone with God. I prayed, I meditated of Scripture, I laid [...]

It just seemed too simple and a little cliché but then I realized, maybe the reason it is great people who are talking about being prepared is because they know what has made them great.

I received a copy of The Voice New Testament from Thomas Nelson Publishers to review. I’m always open to new translations and was excited to get a copy of this devotional Bible. The Voice is a compilation translation with many modern scholars coming together to provide the Bible text translation and than many major voices [...]

So life is pretty busy right now. Less than two months on the wedding countdown and there is all the normal pre-planning (and pre-panic) involved with that. We are doing church planting prep work and gathering people to come along with us as planters and prayers. Still working a lot. The book will be released [...]

A few weeks ago Katy and I (at her request) went to a NHL hockey game. I had not been to a hockey game since middle school and I’m not sure if she had ever been, but we thought it would be fun. And it was. I went all out and got us the ‘all [...]

In my last post I mentioned that the I like watching the Atlanta Hawks but they are not my favorite basketball team. That honor goes to my childhood hometown team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. Last week the “cavs” made a major trade. As the NBA trade deadline got closer, there was a lot of rumors about [...]
