nothing like the whole hurry up & wait process...we find ourselves over 500 miles from home, running back & forth to the hospital & just trying to figure out what to do next. the kids have been great, even though they're totally out of routine. we bed down in the living room floor of my folk's house & make the best of what we've got in front of us.meanwhile, back @ the ranch, the venue marches on

the word christian is a noun. i'm of the opinion that folks have been in the wrong-headed practice of using it as something that it was totally not meant for. it's been used abusively as a qualifier that all to often replaces the implicate & desperate need for proper discernment. this leads to the whole hearted acceptance of things that may not be beneficial, not to mention good. i'm a

the day was not unlike any other.workout, read, think...not necessarily in that order.i'm now finding myself very reminiscent of the past fleeting moments & am yearning to bat them back down from the air, so that i might collect them for future ploddings. funny thing is, that these moments of reflection are filled w/value due to a pretty eclectic collection of readings. 1 day may be very like

perspective is everything...i continually struggle to become what i'm should physically, but there's 1 big problem that i keep running in to...it's so much easier to look back & compare my current state w/where i was rather than that w/which i'm attempting to ascribe. this is the beginning of justification through rationalization by seeing the improvement made regardless of starting point.

While he was raking leaves one day, a neighbor asked, “If you knew for certain that Christ Himself were coming back in a half-hour, what would you do?” St. Francis replied, “I’d finish raking the yard.”

funny how god's will can look differently from person to person, perspective to perspective & situation to situation. the underlying thread remains the same, it's just that the overlaying fabric can vary greatly. most folks may have some trouble w/this.the fashions that form individual faith doesn't always appeal to the masses or maybe even to the few & i just gotta believe that that's ok. jesus

the last couple of weeks have been hell. i've been stretched, pushed & pulled in directions that i never thought possible. i long for the merry-go-round to stop, or at least slow, but know that that's not an option. i walked into work the other nite when a received a message from an angel. she's not the kind w/visible wings & halo, but she delivered a word that was timely & desperately needed.

In Essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things, love.i often wonder how far is too far. is it possible to befriend someone who lives contrary to the way that you think, believe & have chosen to live? can you love that person enough to let them be & not continually think of them as a mission project or secular mountain to scale & conquer? should you?do you allow them to speak what

i've never really thought of myself as the creedal kind, but truth be told we all live by some sort of rule of life that governs are thoughts, deeds & motives that can usually be defined in a statement that would constitute a creed of some sort. it's nothing that is so prominent in my journey that would push me to carry it in little boxes that would adorn my brow, but it's something that's

you ever wonder what's the point...?i mean, movie stars, god-like status, unbelievable wealth & unforgivable decadence are accepted these days & even expected as the norm. all for the continued search for that next 2hr release that gives us pause from our own pitiful existence. to escape the doldrums that are our days, we let a lot go & even worship a warped sense of human existence...where'd it

I saw Tyler for the 1st time in a long time the other day. Man has he grown. I wondered where his dad was.There you stood in disbelief,trying all you could to see through these liesAnd every word that I could breathe,would find you more inclined to leave, but I triedAnd knowing what I've done to you,with every thought you suffer throughMy heart as black as evil canAnd everything I could have been

Well, it's done. I talked w/Dr. Dennis Morris, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church & am totally amazed. It wasn't at all as I expected & it gives me hope.I found the pastor to be 1 of the most gracious & soft-spoken men I've ever had the pleasure of speaking with. He readily listened to me, quite his junior & even asked my input for suggestions. He never became argumentative or offensive.I shared w/

Recently I've been struggling w/the call to do something out of my comfort zone. As much as I hate to admit it, I believe that I got my answer last night @ work. This next week is going to be a challenge for me, but w/guidance I know I'll be able to persevere.I'm usually not the 1 to attempt things that seem rather senseless or w/little opportunity for success. I usually like to just shrug my

I've had a couple of days to mull things over & I'm still undecided. I've talked w/several folks about it, had my run through all different types of emotions over it & still don't know what I'm to do, if anything at all. Maybe if you read this you could help me.I was getting ready for work the other night, when I was getting out of the shower Amy came in to tell me that 'I'd missed it'. I told

This profoundly simplistic book has changed me...Pray remember what I have recommended to you, which is, to think often on God, by day, by night, in your business, and even in your diversions. He is always near you and with you; leave Him not alone. You would think it rude to leave a friend alone who came to visit you; why, then, must God be neglected? Do not, then, forget Him, but think on Him

The trip home was odd enough. Baton Rouge was bare compared to the log jam that met us Wednesday afternoon. For all intensive purposes it was 11/26/05, but through the wonder that is xm radio we tripped through the last 3 weeks of January 1948.In a move that Amy approved of by sweet sleep preceded by a 'you've got to be kidding me...you guys are killing me' we tuned to channel #164 that plays old

The Jones have left us behind. I've never been happier to see them go. What a relief it is to know that we don't have to follow, keep up or try to stay ahead of that crowd.Sure, the reasons make plausible sense from time to time, but that's just because of our unlimited capacity for reasoning & justification. We argue the point in our own minds that just about anything can & does become God's

Bloggers blog about it. Authors write about it. TV preachers will try to sell you on it. Saints embrace it. Sinners ignore it. Hypocrites manipulate it.So much has been said & done, but we still haven't even begun to understand it. It's bigger than the air that we breath & is in the smallest of things. It contains a strength beyond measure, yet is often served up as to transcend our understanding

I've really been diggin' the new Demon Hunter of late. It gets me pumped, challenges me & stirs the long muted chords attached to heart strings that I forget that I've got from time to time. The music comes across as conflicted to me, mixing beautiful melodies w/tortured screams of angst which is perfect, because I'm conflicted.

I had a conversation w/a friend of a pastor of a mega-church the other day. You know the gig. Shepherding the flock Hollywood style w/all the indulgences to boot, 'cause of a culture created to nurture the feel of entitlement due to success. This of course is never audibly mentioned, but remains the mind set none the less.I guess that I can deal w/this status quo of celebrity pastor, 'cause

Don't know if you caught this or have heard anything about the aftermath, but it was nothing short of a trainwreck. Fox's Trading Spouses show usually features women that are from completely different ends of the spectrum & are forced to swap environments, homes, families, etc. for a week.

Just got through skimming through the latest in Relevant magazine. I don't know if you've seen it or not, but I think you might want to pick it up. What grabbed me was the article entitled 'Christians at a Porn Show.'The article is a collection of thoughts from volunteers that belong to xxxchurch as they attended Erotica LA 2005. There was a time & place that the mere thought of this would've

I guess ol' Billy boy had it right all along when he said that the question was 'to be or not to be.' Those words have resonated in some places deep inside me today as I've thought about why people do the things that they do or why they don't do the things that they don't. It seems that they do or don't do whatever from a place that is either driven to be true & authentic to the nature instilled

I don't know about you, but I've just got to believe that God pulls the clouds back, leans in & gets a big laugh @ my expense from time to time. He does so only to keep from crying when I have to be confronted w/His truth time & time again. The whole process seems akin to teaching long division to a pre-schooler, yet He continues to allow me to plod along.Now that's what I call long suffering. He

I was shocked more in 1 hr last night, than I've been in quite some time. I don't know if you caught it, but if you happened to see Dateline last night you'll know what I'm talking about.

I knew it shouldn't be like this, but the fact of the matter was, that it was. I searched a laundry list of reason & found none viable. That is until now. Last week the folks were w/us for the week & what should've been a great time of fun & togetherness, turned into sleepless mornings filled w/gut wrenching anxiety. I couldn't put my finger on it & believe me, I tried. I was just very uneasy

We spent yesterday afternoon under the 110 surronded by crackheads, bums, drunks, scene & hardcore kids. I thought that I was going to have to drag Amy out of the truck. She was pretty nervous to say the least & I can't blame her.The day was beautiful. Our gathering was simplistic yet real.

Ever thought that you had it all figured out, get challenged by something & come to realize that maybe you didn't quite get it? I had 1 of those experiences yesterday. I was sitting out back grilling some ribs, doing a little reading & came to see something that I hadn't before.Check it. The passage is John 4:23. Christ addresses the woman @ the well & says something like this...God is Spirit.

There has never been a more critical time than now to examine faith. I've personally spent the last 2 yrs deconstructing & allowing the proper re-construction of all that I thought that I knew.
