I could see him from the stage. He was standing, barely. His arms were bent in positions that they were not meant to bend…and staying there. He was making moaning noises. More groaning than anything. And from stage I could see saliva running from the bottom left part of his mouth. Lot’s of saliva. To where I could see a puddle forming at his feet. He was alone. Had a bag. And was moaning and clapping uncontrollably. I am keenly aware of my ignorance in the field of those with Read more.
“My wife and I have thought about adopting for a while.” “I’ve always wanted to write a book.” “I think I might ask her out.” “Yea, next time I go to a show I’ll sponsor a Compassion child.” “You know, I’m gonna finally tell my boss to chill out and treat us with respect.” “Dude! The church I’m planting is going to feed the homeless every Saturday morning.” “That’s it. I’m seriously going to drop everything and become a photographer.” These are just a few of the Read more.

I tweeted this 2 days ago… Surround yourself with those who haven’t drank your koolaid. I’m sure your koolaid is tasty. I’m sure your koolaid is the special sauce.

Palms facing towards the sky. “I really don’t have time for this” I thought to myself. But how was I supposed to see my wife facedown before the Lord and not, myself, do the same? So down I went. And it wasn’t even 45 seconds. But this is what I prayed… “God. I’m overwhelmed. Read more.

You can have a father like I did who prayed for me everyday I was growing up. I struggled with porn for years of my life. You can be the safest driver in the world. There is only a yellow line separating you from the unsafest driver in the world. You can be committed to preaching Jesus every Sunday and see no growth in attendance.
