2. February 2010

Comments

This is hard for me. The story I am sharing with you is my story, but it involves so many others: my mom and dad, my brothers, my family, etc… The real tension that I feel as I share is the tension of wanting to be real and authentic with you while at the same [...]

Day 1 - Getting Started

1. February 2010

Comments

So, where to start? Where do I begin with my story? Any time we journey back into remembering, it can feel a bit disjointed or challenging to piece things together and share in an honest and open way. Especially when we have an intense story that taps into a lot of brokenness, pain and redemption. I [...]

Why So Certain?

1. June 2009

Comments

I am a big fan of U2 and really love the depth and spirituality of their new album, No Line On The Horizon. One of my favorite songs is, Stand Up Comedy, mainly because of a single line: “I can stand up for hope, faith, love, but while I’m getting over certainty, stop helping God [...]

When will you get bored with yourself?

15. May 2009

Comments

I don’t know about you, but I spend way to much time thinking about myself and my own world. I am so wrapped up in how things effect me and what I want to do and what others think about me, that many times I miss the opportunities to minister to or love on someone [...]

It’s in the books! I finished my first 1/2 Marathon this past weekend in Nashville at the Country Music Marathon. It was a great and interesting experience and it was amazing to be a part of 23,000+ runners and walkers all dedicated for good reasons to this endeavor. So what did I learn? Here are [...]

Why Go To Church?

14. April 2009

Comments

I had a conversation recently with a close friend who is bearing such a heavy burden. It broke my heart and made me all the more grateful for the church. No, I’m not talking about a building, but what the building represents…a place for God’s people to gather and care for one another. In many [...]

The Depth of Our Story

7. April 2009

Comments

I just finished watching a very touching movie, The Secret Life of Bee’s. It moved me and reminded me that I am so grateful for the power of stories that touch us at the deepest parts. In my mind this movie is about the story of great loss, a search for the truth and the [...]

A Spiritual Commute

25. March 2009

Comments

As I was driving into work a few days ago I was struck by the miles of tail lights in front and the headlights behind and what each pair represents. Hopes, dreams, paychecks, passions, frustrations, families to support and a plethora of other agenda’s both positive and negative. It got me thinking, what’s this all [...]
