I really like reading the book of Job. While there is no certainty on when the book was actually written, most agree that the subject matter in the book contains some of the oldest records of history (Somewhere between Adam and Abraham). Instead of providing a narrative of what happens in the book (you should [...]

I went to Chattanooga a few weeks ago to attend a Freedom in Christ Ministries seminar. I am very impressed by Neil Anderson’s systemic approach to confession and repentance. His material is a rare find for me in the world of “Christian Counseling”. I’ve read Bondage Breaker and Discipleship Counseling. I’m going back now and [...]
Last week, one of the finest men I know, gave a presentation during Dallas Theological Seminary’s chapel service. Please take 20 minutes and listen to Ethan Pope’s message on America’s financial demise. I believe whole heartedly in what Ethan is saying here. I don’t hope or want this, but it seems to me that it [...]
There is nothing glamorous or heroic about surrender. Surrender is what someone does when they see they can’t win. It’s when you give up; when you Tap Out. However, Surrender is the very thing that is at the root of living for and with Christ. A person may attend church, say prayers, read the bible, [...]
Loving Brad Paisley new album, “American Saturday Night”. Yesterday at the Gym I happened to catch the Welcome to the Future video on GAC. The song reminded me of this video. Funny thing is, if you are seeing this video for the first time you are probobly way behind. Enjoy!
I know you don’t need me to tell you this, but life it buzzing by. I know there are rough days and there are long days, but all days come to an end. We pulled out some old home videos tonight from a few years back. JJ and I kept glancing at each other through [...]
It’s been a long week. Looking forward to a great weekend. Looks like JJ and I will be getting a date night tonight! Homeschooling 3 kids, I know she needs it more than I do. Thanks Mom and Dad for keeping the kids. Ally has a soccer game on Saturday. We’re not supposed to keep [...]
I started reading Ezekiel yesterday morning in preparation for Halloween. {OK joking about prep for Halloween, but I am reading Ezekiel. But there is something in there about dry bones (insert evil laughter here)}. Anyway I came to a verse which took my mind to, Geophagy. I didn’t know the word Geophagy, but I did [...]
At the urging of LeanChurchGuy I finally got around to reading Patrick Lencioni’s, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. Actually Mr. Lencioni was at the Catalyst conference last year, but I opted not to sit in on his session mainly because I was experiencing information overload and I guessed that his talk would be potential [...]
I’m back this AM trying to get out a post before I leave for work. I have my editor in chief (TJ) here beside me “helping” me type. At some point over the last several weeks I realized how much I missed blogging. I know this is going to sound selfish, but after a while [...]
