When did it happen? When did my baby girl get so big? I remember cuddling her, carrying her around with one arm, watching her take her first steps. Now she has earrings, carries purses and talks to boys…BOYS! (I’m gonna need a gun) I am so proud of her. She is turning into a beautiful … More Big Girls Don’t Cry! (But Dads Do!)
Step 1: Say Yes Step 2: Go do it I’m tired of letting fear rule my decisions. I’m tired of not living out my God-Dreams because someone thinks it’s impossible. It’s time to become a Yes Man! I’m not talking about becoming a butt-kissing yes man. I’m talking about becoming a man who is not … More Becoming A Yes Man
I was working out of MCDs the other day (in New Zealand you go get free internet anywhere you can) and as any good minister would do while working, I eavesdropped on surrounding conversations. One conversation in particular caught my attention. Two ladies where talking about their partners and how it was nice to have … More Casual Ministers
Why can’t we just say no to things? Why do we have to make up excuses of why we can’t do something and why do we have to make those excuses sound so holy and righteous? Why can’t we just say, “I don’t want to do that?” Why can’t our no be no & our … More Holy Excuses
I have a confession to make. For as long as I can remember I have liked things to go my way. Who doesn’t right? (My mom says I could argue with a brick wall) But I feel I take it to the extreme at times. Yesterday, I found myself in a staff meeting doing something … More My Way or The Highway
So I am sitting in the car with my kids while my wife goes into another shop. I’m tired, I’m hot and I want to go home and sit on my couch. Not my kids. They are crammed in the backseat of the car laughing so hard they are tooting. They are using their imagination, … More Toots & Giggles
If I’m honest I think I’m a good looking guy! If I’m honest I think I’m really good at sports! If I’m honest I am very confident in myself! But something has happened recently to make me realize I’m not all that…I’m balding! Or more I’m thinning in the back but enough to make a … More To Shave or Not To Shave? And Other Thoughts On Mortality
I had one of those busy busy weekends. You know the ones that you go and go and go and you don’t realize how hard you were going until you stop. My body crashed yesterday. I didn’t want to do anything. I couldn’t move. Maybe that is why God tells His people to take a … More Lazy Sabbath
Yesterday I met one of the most interesting people I have ever met. He was tattooed from head to toe…had piercings all over his face and gauges the size of my fist in his ears. We talked about life, guitars, tattoos, which then naturally led into talking about Jesus. He told me he doesn’t believe … More Tattoos, Piercings & UFOs
Welcome to my new blog. I created this space as a place for me to get out all the weird things that go on in my head on a daily basis. But more than anything, I am a big believer in living this world out together. I don’t claim to have it all together. I … More My Think Tank
