The last couple months have been quite the roller coaster in my life! In late April/early May, my grandmother got really ill. In May, I went back to school, kinda. I spent a week at Lindsey Wilson College for Pastoral Ministry School. About a week later, my grandmother went home[…]
Charged for a difference
I just got back from Vacation! It was great. Relaxing on the beach, enjoying my kids and my nephews and nieces, spending time with grown ups, seeing UP (which is a blog all in itself), cooking dinner with my wife, eating amazing foods, walks around the golf course and of[…]
the Magna Carta in the 21st century church
I was recently forwarded a link that I was immediately drawn to. I’ve read books by both Len Sweet and Frank Viola and was really interested to see what these to were going to collaborate on. And the Title? That was an instant grab – A Magna Carta for Restoring[…]
Could be not Should be
I’m a very lucky/blessed person. I get to live in and work in an amazing place with truly fun and interesting people. I get to spend time with folks who are un-apologetically themselves – and this is something I find refreshing. In being “themselves” they are free to think deeply,[…]
Cold as hell
I’m sitting in my office right now with a warm cup of coffee and I’m cold! This morning when I got in the car my car’s thermometer read 6 degrees (that’s Fahrenheit for those who may question). Now, I’m in my office, the heater is running, but my hands are[…]

the Joy of leading
I got to take part in a meeting the other day that absolutely thrilled me to death. In my job I get to talk with all sorts of people – teens, college students, folks in their 20’s, singles, marrieds, parents, grandparents – it’s all over the board and I dig[…]
Nebuchadnezzer – more going on…
I’m a product of the Christian Bubble – no doubt. I’ve been reading Daniel with our Thursday Bible Study and to put it bluntly the first 6 chapters are a lot of “been there done that.” Who hasn’t heard the story of Daniel and the interpretation of the dreams or[…]
New Community
Last night was my first Bible Study here in Louisville. We read the first 2 chapters of Daniel, which is no light reading. As we shared about the passages we spent a lot of time on the meaning of the Vision that Nebuchadnezzer had interpreted by Daniel (or by God[…]
thoughts from a christian bookstore
I was recently in a Christian bookstore looking for something – I don’t even know what, but there I was browsing the book aisle and I saw something that caught my attention. In the Christian Living section, I saw the Don Miller Section of books. So, I see his books[…]
