So, a few months ago a friend passed along a link for a free book on marriage.
The book was called Love & War by John and Stasi Elderege. And, the only catch was that you had to agree to write a review of the book on your blog.
Since I like to read, and write, [...]

Keeping Millennials Engaged
There’s a thought provoking post over on Katya’s Non-Profit Marketing Blog titled Why Millennials Are Going to Keep You on Your Toes.
In the post Katya Andresen talks about Millennials* and how they are different from past generations. She makes many interesting observations but the one that stands out to me comes from a study by Achieve. She [...]
Remember Last Week? Things Have Changed
Remember that post I wrote last week?
The one about having too much going on?
Oh my, how things have changed.
And, the thing that scares me most is that, in a way, I may have asked for this.
I ended that post saying I was going to try to work through everything and avoid the desire to retreat when faced with tough [...]
A Million Miles… Quotes and Thoughts
I had considered writing a few more posts about Donald Miller’s A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, but instead I think I’ll just share a couple more passages that jumped out at me as I was reading.
Here’s the truth about telling stories with your life. it’s going to sound like a great idea, and [...]
Volunteers Make Church Work
Did you know that this is Volunteer Appreciation Week? In my line of business volunteers are extremely important. I work for a small non-profit and we use volunteers to help us with our jobs every day. I have a wonderful volunteer here this morning helping me with some data entry. It’s great that there are people [...]
The End of the Emergent Movement?
There's an interesting article over at Relevant Magazine titled The End of the Emergent Movement?.
I've always felt as though the Emergent Movement got a bad rap. If you dared to utter the the word emergent in the wrong crowd you could risk beheading, and that never seemed fair to me. Where's the honest discussion? I hold the term [...]
Freedom in Christ
I’ve been thinking lately about the phrase “Freedom in Christ.”
In the context of Jesus’ teachings it makes sense. He came and turned everything upside down.
He ate with sinners and tax collectors.
He said the first shall be last, the meek shall be strong… and a lot more.
He told the religious elite [...]
Life is Meaningless… or, Something Like That
Well, I jumped on the bandwagon. I’ve started reading Donald Miller’s latest book, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years.
It’s good.
Over the course of two relatively short lunch breaks I’m 70 pages into the 250 page book.
It’s kind of a funny book. It’s a story about a guy trying to tell a story. Obviously there’s [...]
Easter Communion Devotional
Here’s my Easter Communion Devotional. I tried to keep it short and sweet.
1On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3but when they entered, they did not find the [...]
Service: A Religion for those without Religion?
I have been wondering lately what it is that drives people to serve. For me, it is my religious faith. There is a direct correlation between what I try to do and the example set by Jesus in the Bible. However, this is not the case for everyone who rebuilds houses destroyed by hurricanes, serves [...]
