It’s after midnight.  I just got home from a long night of worship team rehearsal, and I’m nowhere close to sleep.  It’s been a good day.  I had the privilege of praying with a friend today who was feeling the squeeze and pressure of a busy life.  With little margin in her days for much [...]

Don’t call yourself a Christian if you’re not caring for orphans and widows…how we treat orphans and widows is a litmus test of our spiritual life and our love for God.
Those are the words of Kay Warren, who spoke at Catalyst West a couple of days ago.  You can read more here and here.  She [...]

Every spring my buddy Andy and I teach a beginner’s kayaking class for the school he works for.  It’s usually a small class of high school students.  Our class begins in a pool, where we don’t have to worry about cold/moving water, and we can keep an eye on everybody.  We start out by teaching [...]

Now don’t get all excited, thinking that this is going to be like TMZ or some tabloid journalism.  Kim took the girls to see Levi and Lilly’s dress rehearsal for Meet Me In St. Louis tonight.  We’ve been explaining that they have a show coming up this week, which is why they’ve been gathering costumes [...]

It’s like this every year in Happy Valley.  After Spring Break, it seems like the days fly by toward the end of the semester.  It’s a mad, downhill rush toward the end of school, and every person I talk to is so ready for this to be over.  Students are cramming to get their projects/labs/papers [...]

**disclaimer:  This post is not a confession to anything that may or may not have happened concerning me and Brad Kile, my mom’s Nissan Maxima, and us being the only 2 guys in the youth choir at Second Baptist Church.  Nothin to see here, folks, now move along…

On a scale of 1-10, this week has been fabulous.  I’ve had the pleasure of so many good conversations about the Kingdom of God, spiritual growth, following Jesus, hunger for God…I feel like my cup is running over tonight.  We had more than 20 people show up for our life group, which was back at [...]
