The Myth of Control

One of the great things about living in a free and wealthy country is that we have a lot of liberty to do as we wish. We get to live with a sense of control over our world. Take a moment to think about just a few things in my/your day: We control what time we [...]

Day 10 - Stuck in the Right Direction

I haveĀ  been thinking a lot lately about the challenges of trying to grow, mature and heal. I have been struck once again, by how much of a struggle it can be to grow in areas of brokenness and pain. As I move forward on this journey, I know I am on the right road toward [...]

Day 9 - Warning: Alone And In Trouble

As I write this entry, I have just walked out of a wonderful time with a great group of men who are working together to help each other become more of who God made us to be. What did our time consist of? Looking at our wiring, talking some about our strengths and some about [...]

When will you get bored with yourself?

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 [...]

The God I Want to Know

What is your view of God? For most their view has been shaped by the family they were raised in or the church they grew up in. For many that was a devastating picture of God because those influences were evil rather than good or at best complacent rather than intentional. For me, my primary [...]
