Buster, Faithful and Loyal

08/11/2012 21:51
My buddy Buster died. He was old and sick and his body just couldn't go anymore. Before I get too much into this--Buster was a dog. He was an unusual cross between a char-pei and something else; maybe several something "elses," but we think the other part might have been chow. He was a handsome...

How to be a 'face to face' friend of God

06/25/2012 20:34
And it came to pass, when Moses entered the tabernacle, that the pillar of cloud descended and stood  at  the door of the tabernacle, and  the   Lord  talked with Moses. All the people saw the pillar of cloud standing  at  the tabernacle door, and all the...

One Daughter, Two Weddings, Same Guy

06/16/2012 11:52
Today I marry my daughter off…again. We did this last month in a ceremony where the size of the wedding was limited by the chapel; it would only hold 40 skinny people. Now after being through a relatively private, small wedding, I can say this is the way to go. There is a lot less performance...

Amateur or Professional Christian

06/15/2012 21:20
I was recently reading a blog post by Jeff Goins in which he was describing the difference between an amateur and professional writer. I was struck by how that definition could easily be applied to anything--even Christianity and our personal walk with the Lord.   Now go back to your...

Being Relevant

06/10/2012 21:12
That's the new byword in church talk today--relevance.  Here's a good definition: Being relevant to a community means sharing a meaningful connection with a community beyond traditional audiences. I like that. I want to be relevant, especially culturally relevant, so I can connect. In...

God Speaks

05/28/2012 19:05
How does God speak to us?   So He said, "Go forth and stand on the mountain before the LORD." And behold, the LORD was passing by! And a great and strong wind was rending the mountains and breaking in pieces the rocks before the LORD;  but  the LORD  was  not in the...

Finding that Treasure is Abnormal

05/08/2012 11:02
After reading Jeff Goins article How to Find Your Life’s Treasure, I had to look at the scripture to which he was referring: Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field....

It's appointment time!

02/02/2012 09:15
God is looking for His appointed "fathers and mothers," mentors and influencers, to step into their preordained roles. It's appointment time! We call Abraham "father" not because he got God's attention by living like a saint, but because God made something out of Abraham when he was a nobody....
