Change… It’s the buzz-watchword on the political scene… CHANGE we can believe in. Well, if it comes down to a vote - count me in. However, perhaps we are merely voting for a change - instead of being willing to work for it, as well.
I am sincerely hopeful that the new surge of interest in […]
I was thinking about the recent sporting news that announced Mike Lowell signed on with the Red Sox for another three years. After hearing about the 37 -or-so-million dollar contract on the radio - I related the information to my 13 year old daughter. And, in the telling of it, I felt a bit sad about […]
I have been studying the book of 1st Corinthians from the Bible, in order to prepare for our new “cafe style” evening service at our church. We call it Jericho Roots, as it is designed to get us rooted and grounded in truth. As I was going through that book, it struck me - that this […]
His name was Andrew… he was 13 years old. He was a bright, funloving kid…
At Soulfest ‘06 (www.thesoulfest.com) Andrew caught a true glimpse of just how much God loved him, and that absolutely revolutionized his young life. He filled out the Soulfest Pledge (you can too, online) and thus, committed to live everyday for God’s higher […]
A friend of mine gave me a riddle over breakfast recently… It went something like this…
Picture a giant sequoia tree. Huge… full of life. It towers over the forest, and gives birth to many hundreds of other great tree-lives in the surrounding area. You can tunnel through such a tree - it’s big enough to steer […]
I have a friend who organized a “family meeting” the other night. There was no emergency… just a desire for improved communication and better understanding. He told me though, that what he found most interesting, were the ‘personal prespectives’ from each family member as they went around the room from oldest to youngest, sharing their opinions […]
This past weekend, our family went to a local farm that was hosting a sheep shearing exhibition as well as a Border Collie ‘herding’ demonstration. The weather was perfect and the day filled with sights and smells we don’t usually get to enjoy. The atmosphere caused each visitor to feel a part of another time […]
I recently rented a video disc to watch with my kids… They all wanted to see “Flushed Away” and so we brought it home. I am not going to critique the film… it was fine. What struck me though, was the non-stop action which paced the film. It was as if a collision or a […]
In my last blog, I referenced the life of an Old Testament king, named Saul… who, centuries ago, stepped onto the scene of history while chasing his father’s lost donkeys. Little did he know that he was actually on an appointment with destiny. Even though he was crowned as king however, Saul didn’t end up so well. I […]
I was reading something pretty cool in the Old Testament the other day… and it reminded me that God is in control - even in the mundane experiences of our lives. The story was in 1st Samuel, chapter nine… where we first meet Saul, who is to eventually become the King of Israel. As the […]
