I know this will get me into trouble, but I’m not sure what to make of this.
I really have tried to stay away from taking potshots at other ministries/ministers, and believe me, this isn’t some lame attempt at firing at a brother. I KNOW I’m not leading the charge, and might never make it out [...]

Mark Batterson (National Community Church, Washington, DC) spoke to my heart today in this post.

Watch this.
Now go fish.

I like what this guy said: “The core skill of innovators is error recovery not failure avoidance,” – Randy Nelson, Pixar University Dean
Are you sitting on your past accomplishments or pressing [...]

Full day today. Team meeting this afternoon, youth tonight.
We had to cancel youth last week because of yet another snow storm. Eight storms so far, but the snow isn’t as high as last year. And thankfully, we’re not in the UK or southern USA where everything shuts down because of snow. But it was just [...]
