Is This Seat Taken?

There are some people who shouldn’t be allowed to sit by each other. Ever.
This picture got me thinking about the power of influence and relationships, or maybe better, associations.
These guys look dumb because they’re sitting beside each other. They’re probably not dumb, but they look dumb. The simple choice to sit [...]

Q & A

I thought this was funny…

FAQs, Q&As…
I’ve had some questions before. I used to try to come up with pat answers, but I’ve stopped. It used to get me so uptight when I couldn’t figure stuff out. I like to understand how things work. I like to pick things apart. I want to [...]

The Wind(bags) are blowing again…

This is the first post I’ve ever written here about this subject. I’ve tried to stay away from it because it’s just too incendiary. But after I read it this afternoon, I got thinking about it’s lessons on leadership…
Here’s the link. What a doofus! Why do some leaders think they can [...]

Limping Through the Old Testament

This Sunday night we’re going to take the time to examine the experience of one of the more familiar characters of the OT: Gideon. Most everyone who ever attended Sunday School as a kid has heard something about him. He’s gotten a bad rap over the years (called a chicken, busted for a [...]

What Church Could Be Like

I’ve strayed away from my reading list for awhile (KP’s too hard on my head, although I agree with most everything he’s saying!) and started a book that’s been on my shelf for awhile: Facing Your Giants (Max Lucado). I haven’t read one of Max’s books for some time, so I thought this would [...]

All’s Well…

Huge Thanks to everyone who’s been praying for us this week. Nahum’s surgery went very well this morning, he’s now recovering with the hospital’s game cube, ice cream, and the attention of the nurses.
Sorry this pic is sideways. The only way I can get wireless is to sit on the window ledge in [...]

A Growing City, Great Friends, and a Bicyle Chain in the Knee…

Well, today we spent the bulk of the day @ the IWK for Nahum’s pre-op. We met some amazing people there–the staff has been terrific, handling all our questions, patiently waiting for us to explain what we were concerned about, and handling all Nahum’s questions with care and sensitivity. I’m impressed with how [...]

Beat me with a Stick…

Well, we’re here in the city for Nahum’s operation. Tomorrow we’ll go in for a pre-op tour and assessment. Maybe we’ll see someone famous!
Heather & I are both absolutely wiped! Getting ready for this has taken its toll on us. It’s been a little frazzling too, being shorthanded on our staff [...]

Weekend Mind Dump

Once again, I am amazed at how God moves when we open our hearts to Him. Our last three Sunday mornings have been pretty charged with God’s presence.
The week was NUTS and thought the light at the end of the tunnel was an oncoming train, we made it! Phew I’m beat though.
Packers are [...]
