A Moment In Time

I’m not clueless. I know time is flying by. I know I’m going to blink and they’ll be off dating, studying for college finals and climbing the career ladder. So when they invite me into their world, their world of imagination, adventure and excitement, I don’t walk, I run into it. These pictures may just [...]

Madonna, Tom Brady, The Super Bowl & Me

Hope you guys had fun watching the game last night, or at least had fun watching the commercials. I was really looking forward to watching the halftime show with Madonna, but, unfortunately, missed the whole thing. We had committed to two different parties and used halftime to shuttle to the next one. Several of my [...]

Just In Time For The Superbowl

Okay, so this may not be the best way for me to invest $36 but I’m not going to lie: I want the Porta-Pizza oven really BAD. I’m all about pizza and I’m all about multi-tasking. This 12V portable oven and pizzeria plugs right into your dashboard. High and low settings for cooking and warming. [...]

Learning To Disagree

If you know me at all, you know I have a passion for helping the Body of Christ learn to disagree in a respectful and honorable way. The downright slanderous criticism and cheap shots that permeates the church these days turns my stomach. That’s why when I saw this open letter written to me on [...]

Six Reasons The Next Generation is Leaving The Church

So we’ve all seen the stats. It seems like the church is rapidly loosing influence with the next generation. Barna President David Kinnaman examines the 6 reasons in a new article in Christianity Today. The six reasons he lists are… 1. Isolationism.

Mindlessly Moving Through Life

Mindlessly doing things because all our friends do them is pretty much 90 percent of what society does. Sad, but true. It started in elementary school, raged in high school and unfortunately followed us right into adulthood. This interesting article I read talks about how our eating habits are formed by those we eat with [...]

Things That Shine

I got a phone call on Wednesday that blew me away. A guy called me to apologize for something he had publicly written about me over two years ago. As he apologized I played it off as if I had totally forgotten about what he had said. But in my moments of doubt and insecurity [...]

Perks

Time Magazine had a great article about employee perks at some of the top companies around the country. For instance, at Mattel, the World’s largest toy maker helps its employees find their inner child by shutting its offices at 1 p.m. every Friday. Microsoft offers their software engineers an organic spa for letting off steam. [...]

Breaking The Silence

I believe sometimes you have to forgive someone, not for their sake, but for your freedom. This past weekend my friend and neighbor, Will, did one of the bravest things I’ve ever seen. He shared with us his story of sexual abuse and how it led to a double life. I know, statistically, there are [...]
