None of us really like to be told what to do.  I know I don’t.  Even as a young teenager, I would get so frustrated when my parents would remind me of my regular chores.  Its like they didn’t trust me or something……..oh wait, maybe they were on to something. As much as we hateContinue reading “Embracing Authority”

Watching my boys grow up is such a joy.  Growing up is hard and requires so much. Learning, failing, nurturing, direction, grace, and on and on. This last week in our Bible Studies for Life lesson in Sunday School. The lesson centered on how the church can help us grow in our faith.  Paul writes inContinue reading “Grow Up! 3 Ways the Church Can Help”

45 years ago today, God graced me to be born into a great family.  I have spent much time today reflecting on the reality of living 45 years and all that God has put in my life and taken from my life.  I have spent much of the day just thankful.  Thankful for all theContinue reading “45 Years. Quite a Journey”

They played hard, were coached by great men and achieved a great reward.  Mission accomplished.  This is Cameron’s first time playing footballContinue reading “Champions”

I took this picture while on route from Colorado Springs, CO to Parker, Colorado where I now live. The picture reminds me of how God puts us on different roads and in different directions in our service to him. I honestly never thought we would ever live and serve in Colorado.  However without reservation,  I know he called me toContinue reading “A New Direction”

When I open up my Facebook page, I immediately am asked to give a status update that reads… “What’s on your mind?”  Now, depending on the day or the hour what has just happened in my life, that question is loaded.  There is a lot on my mind most of the day and the temptationContinue reading “What’s On Your Mind?”

I recently posted message on Facebook that described how we constantly dabble in the world and expect a full life.   This idea seems mainstream to me.  I believe there is an epidemic of Christians trying to live with one eye on Jesus and the other pining for the world and its pleasure.  As a pastor,Continue reading “How are you Living?”

Today while I was driving to an appoinment I was listening to sports talk radio.  The announcer noted that Jason Collins, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/29/jason-collins-comes-out-gay_n_3178401.html?ir=Sports professional basketball player, let the world know that he is openly homosexual.  He is the first in professional organized athletics to make this assertion.  Certainly he is not the first homosexual sports player butContinue reading “New Virtues”
