The last 6 weeks have been a whirlwind! I didn’t even realize that they had passed so quickly until my boys brought home their first report cards! Wow! Life in general the last 6 weeks has flown by, yet if you’ve been following this blog, the last 6 weeks have[…]
Acts – a blessing that turned my anger
Monday night I had a really angry dream. Afterwards, I woke up angry and a general feeling of grumpiness just kind of stuck with me. I was running on the treadmill and each step was an anger inducing motion. I thought it would go away after the 3rd mile, but[…]
Acts – a thessalonian man
Acts 17 is one of my favorite passages in scripture. If you’re not careful you can overlook it pretty quickly. Paul and Silas are in the town of Thessalonica and for 3 straight sabbaths they’ve met in the synagogue “explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and to[…]
Acts – the community that prays together
This is a difficult blog to write this morning. At about 1:15 this morning, my wife’s grandfather – Woodrow Cheshire – went home to be in glory with our God. Papa was truly a “one-of-a-kind” person. He was a farmer and for a time the Mayor of Pompano Beach in[…]
Acts – Hineni
This is week two of the Acts study and our last time together was a whirlwind of 6 chapters. There were persecutions, long sermons, amazing miracles and conversions that shook the future of the church. It was a pretty action packed passage of scripture. We ended our time last night[…]
Thoughts on Acts
Last night I started a 6 week study on the book of Acts with some friends at church. Fitting 28 chapters into 6 weeks is pretty close to being impossible. So, for the next several weeks I’m going to continue some of my thoughts on Acts in this blog. I’m[…]
Eyes Wide OPEN
A couples weeks ago we had a special guest at Christ Church – Reggie McNeal. He preached on Sunday morning and I gotta tell ya, I was a little concerned. I wasn’t concerned because I doubted Christ Church but because I didn’t know what to expect fully from Reggie. I’ve[…]
Back at it
So, this week my boys went back to school! I gotta be honest, I was pretty excited! Summer is a weird time – believe it or not, I’m a guy who likes routine. Now don’t get me wrong, I love change (especially when it’s good change) but there’s just something[…]
Becoming more “you-ier”
I’ve finished the Hobbit (again). It’s kind of bitter sweet. I really enjoy reading epic tales like that, and finishing always brings this sense of arrival with it. Finishing also brings a sense of sadness. I’ve always been like that – able to get lost in a story and let[…]
…it’s like owning a home!
So about 3 months ago, we bought a house and since that time I’ve found little thing after little thing that needs my attention. Initially, I was happy to just get the boxes unpacked. That was a huge success! After that it was making sure we got a lawnmower because[…]
