Mark Batterson has a good post on a book coming out called UNChristian.? Looks like an interesting book on a subject that I am really interested in lately.? I like what Batterson says about this concept: All I know is this: I’m not called to be a Christian. I’m called to be Christlike. And those […]
I don’t pretend to understand the universe – it’s much bigger than I am. –Albert Einstein I think that is the way it is for me. The longer I am on this planet, the less I really know anything. I remember a little refrigerator magnet on mom and dad’s fridge growing up that said, “Hire […]
And the hits just keep on coming!? Saw this on a marquee in Springfield on a church that shall remain nameless to protect the (ahem) innocent.? Once again, true statement, but seriously I feel like I am talking to Taylor about eating his veggies!
My fantasy team STINKS.? I am currently in the cellar in the league with perfect record of 0-3!? If I would have started some other guys that have played terrible the first two weeks, I would have rolled, but coulda shoulda woulda! I lost in the championship game last year in this league by just […]
My next door neighbor and I have decided we need to get into better shape, feel better during the day, etc.? We went on a little jog this morning at 5:30 a.m.!? I know, David at 5:30 a.m. is pretty crazy!? We started out real well, but we were huffing and puffing before too long.? […]
Jesus is coming back, and boy is he mad!? Just saw this on a bumper sticker of a car. Could tell it was a “preacher” because of the personalized license plates stating it was said preacher. This statement was one side of the bookend with “Heaven or Hell: You decide” on the other bookend with […]
Dr. T.T. Crabtree, my pastor growing up, passed away Tuesday night. He was one of my mentors and heroes of the faith. Much like the Hall of Fame of Faith in Hebrews, he has been one of those “great cloud of witnesses” for me as a young pastor. He always used to call me or […]
I don’t where I heard this, but I heard it was said that America indeed did go to church on 9/16/2001, but they looked around and found it was just as they left it and so never returned again.? Basically, Americans were coming back to church for answers and got some answers–just not to the […]
I remember that week very well.? It seemed that everyone spent hour upon hour watching the tragedy.? Praying that people would be found.? Praying for those who hadn’t heard from loved ones.? Watching the dedication and honor of the rescue workers.? I can remember one of my first statements in my sermon on 9.16.2007.? I […]
We had an awesome Sunday yesterday as we had our first KidStuf! It went really well and I think it did all that we wanted it to do and more! We really just wanted it to be a “promo” for our church family to see first hand what it was about and invite people to […]
