Following Anyway
27 Jun 2009I’m sarcastic. Very sarcastic. Now, I prefer to think of it as quick witted but at the end of the day you still need to call a spade a spade. So, while other people would read through John 1 and 2 and want to write deep reflections on omnipotency or divine power I am choosing [...]

Standing Accused
In: Luke| christian living| christianity
22 Jun 2009I’m at the end of my read though Luke. I thought I would be blogging about the crucifixion today, but as I re-read chapters 22-24 this evening I was really taken by chapter 23 verse 5: “But they insisted, ‘He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee and [...]
The Powerful Three
20 Jun 2009First of all, welcome to the new blog site (some of which is still under construction). If you subscribed on the old site I would hope that you subscribe again here. It you haven’t, well…I’d love it if you would! RSS and email subscription links are on the side bar.
Ok, enough commercials. I’ve been reading [...]

14 Jun 2009Anyone who knows me will tell you that I love Twitter. There’s a voyeuristic quality about it that I just can’t resist. While I love reading the short descriptions about what’s going on in people’s lives I rarely pay attention to the ones that have photo links attached for no other reason than the fact [...]
His Kingdom Come

11 Jun 2009As Jesse and I discussed my readings tonight he started saying all kinds of things that moved me deep inside. I asked if he’d write them for you and he graciously agreed. I’m thrilled that he shared.
I recently finished reading Death by Church by Mike Erre. This book runs a little deeper than I usually [...]
Service, Humility, and My Best Shoes

10 Jun 2009My first counseling job after graduation was at a voluntary residential substance abuse treatment program/half way house. And by volunteer I mean volunteer to go to treatment or get sentenced to jail. I’ll never forget my first day. I wore tan Coach kitten heels and Seven jeans while I transported clients from the County Jail [...]
Going Out Boldly

6 Jun 2009Nicole has graciously allowed me to guest write for her today. I was glad to do it because I was struck by a a couple of passages in Luke 10-12 which dovetailed with a message we just watched online from Francis Chan, whose book “Crazy Love” and whose messages have deeply challenged me.
The [...]
Are We Listening?
In: Luke| christian living| church
2 Jun 2009I recently had a conversation with a good friend about the necessity of discipleship and the idea that good discipleship is foundational to growing ministry and developing leadership. I was thinking about that conversation as I read through Luke 8 and 9 in preparation for this post.
Luke 8:4-8 4While a large crowd was [...]
