How’s THAT for an honest post title? Feeling crappy. Not just physically, but emotionally. Maybe even spiritually right now.
Not only do I not feel a whole lot better after 7 weeks and 33 pounds of fighting this stomach thing, but now my kids have just left for Youth Group. I know … shouldn’t I be [...]
On Sunday evening, May 31, I received one of a handful of the saddest phone calls I have ever (and will ever) receive. Joey Pullen, a former member of NewHeart’s Youth Ministries, had committed suicide that afternoon.
All the reasons surrounding Joey’s decision and its implications (as is the case with almost every suicide) are yet [...]
I’ve been reading some stuff in the last week or so about what’s “Biblical” and what’s not. I’m getting kind of bugged by it.
Specifically, it’s stuff on how churches do church. The train of thought is “we want to do church Biblically” or “more Biblically.”

I am trying hard to trust God today! Wait a minute….can you really try hard to trust God? Isn’t that an oxymoron?

I’ve been working through a teaching series lately called “Seasons”, where we’ve been looking at how God has set the earth to identify when certain seasons change. Depending on what part of the world you live in, you can tell by the weather when Fall turns to Winter … Winter to Spring … and so [...]
Perusing some blogs about the VT Tragedy perspectives, I came across one of my favorite bloggers. A Pastor in Washington, DC; Mark Batterson at Evotional.com. I really appreciate how he writes and thinks, and was struck by how he gave some perspective on the VT Tragedy:
It certainly doesn’t shake my belief in God. It just [...]
I am being reminded this morning of the place that the expectations I live with in myself are too much for anyone to live with. It’s true for most of us. Who needs to be reminded?
