I think there is an important tension to be held in the mind of every believer during this political season. On the one side I believe that it is not only the privilege but the responsibility of every believer to vote. Not only to vote but to be educated enough to be able to defend [...]
BEST OF TWO BAD CHOICES… THE NEXT PRESIDENT
Christians are stereotyped as voting the Republican party line and more specifically for the candidate that votes against abortion and the homosexual agenda. Unfortunately this stereotype holds some accuracy. I think that Christians ought to be the most informed and involved. In this years election I wish there was a candidate that i could wave [...]
FATHER SON RUN
I just got back from one of my favorite runs of the season thus far. It wasn’t the speed or the distance but the company i kept for the 5 miles. My son came along with me. He would have run it but he complained of a tight hamstring as well as fearing that his [...]
LEAD LIKE JESUS
I’m concluding Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges LEAD LIKE JEUSUS. In it they take talk about how to have the heart of Jesus in every day leadership. One thing that Ken and Phil do in the their “lead like Jesus” workshops is conduct what they call “EA” (egos anonymous) meetings. These meetings seem to [...]
PUEBLA MEXICO
Mark 16:15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.”
I’m writing this blog as we conclude our last days here in Puebla, Mexico. We came to help a great local church here. It’s been great being a part of what God is doing here. We had [...]
THE WAKE WE LEAVE BEHIND

“You can tell a [...]
One proud moment
John 2:5 (NIV) His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
These where the word from Jesus’ mother to the servants before Jesus’ first miracle. Great words to live by in relationship to our walk with the Lord don’t you think.
I am here in Puebla, Mexico with a group from Generation Church. Last [...]
A THOUGHT ON PRAYER
The Bible declares that God is the Alpha & the Omega. He is the beginning & the end. Have you ever felt like, as one song writer wrote, that “you’re stuck in the moment & you can’t get out of it”? I DO! I get stuck in the stress of the day, the car payment, [...]
ADVANCE prayer day 6
I just wanted to celebrate with anyone who will listen about all that God is doing. Last night in Generation church I felt compelled by the Holy Spirit to simply preach the powerful gospel of Jesus Christ. I called for those that where far away form God. With no music, heads not bowed and every [...]
Wedding are optional funnels are mandatory
“Wedding are optional funerals a re mandatory”. A good friend of mine told me this years ago and it stuck. It’s tolerable to be alone in seasons of celebration but it’s a terrible when you’re alone in grief. I’ll say this right from the get go, my wife hates when she hears me say this [...]
