Year End Reading Summary

At the end of every year I am making it tradition to share my reading list from the previous year and give a brief summary. This year I have read more fiction than ever in my life and I think that has been impacted by my use of the Kindle app on my iPad. For…

Cry Out to God

I have been reading, watching, praying, and listening in response to the events of last Friday. I am late in writing this in the sense that everyone has already weighed in on their feelings and thoughts. First, I need to say that my heart has truly grieved the senseless violent taking of human life that…

A Hobbit Made Me Do It . . .

I picked up The Lord of the Rings from the library shelf as a freshman in high school. It was thick had little print and was completely unlike anything I had ever checked out from a library. I always spent time in the nonfiction section somewhere between astronomy and biology. Little did I know that…

Connection Overload

Anybody else finding themselves at least a little distracted by technology? There are suddenly so many ways to connect with people, so many gadgets, so many modes of communication. But has it genuinely improved our relationships at all? I can text, email, message on Facebook, tweet, give a +1, Chat, send a postcard, comment on…

Lottery and the Rest of Us

I didn’t win the lottery yesterday! I woke up totally bummed that my life wasn’t radically changed by mountains of cash. The promise of mansions and exotic vacations disappeared with the announcement of the winning numbers. I’m still buying a used Kia Sedona instead of a 2013 Honda Odyssey. I’m not going to be able…

A Prayer of Thanks

Lord, This thanksgiving, I am grateful for Linda, vows, and a God-given helper! She is truly a gift! I thank you for Adam, Luke and Leah . . . for laughter, joy, energy, and the constant test of my parenting skills. This year You have graciously shown us the Grand Canyon, the St. Louis Arch,…

Weary and Heavy Laden

Jesus said to come to him. In Matthew 11:28 He identifies Himself as the place of hope and as the provider of rest. He calls to himself those who are weary and heavy laden, and by that I think He is essentially calling all humanity to himself. I know so many people who are weary.…

ReCAST and the Space Race Part 2

Back in January of this year, I blogged about the space issues at ReCAST Church. We have experienced significant growth over our three and a half years of service, and last January we reoriented our seats in order to use our space more efficiently. In August we went to two services and have continued to…

Politics, Pulpits, and Peter

So maybe you didn’t notice, but there are some political campaigns under way in this great land. I’ve watched some debates, read some articles, seen some posts, hid some people from my news feed (on both sides of the aisle), watched some TV ads, received some postcards in the mail, heard a few jokes, and…

Sancti-vacation

This is my first week back from a 2 week road trip out west . . . With my family . . . In a minivan . . . Out west . . . Now let me state at from the get go, that this was no National Lampoon’s Vacation. We didn’t run off the…

Taking a Chill Pill

If you are anything like me, then you have a tendency to make mountains out of molehills! Whatever is in front of me is all consuming until it is resolved and then it is on to the next thing. I enjoy putting out fires, but my focus and my propensity to quick decisions can sometimes…

A Theology of Sleep

Since this blog comes from a devotional I read this morning, by John Piper, I want to be sure that I give him credit for the thoughts of this blog. But I have honestly thought about sleep as a bit of a strange thing in the scope of life. A significant chunk of our lives…
