Sorry for not posting much original thought stuff lately.  Trying to adjust to working and life after work and honestly haven’t had much time to do writing or just thinking about stuff.  Life has been going pretty well I would say.  But I ran across this cartoon tonight, and it struck me that I sometimes [...]

Thin Ice Born in Sin (HT: Naked Paster) If Starbucks looked like most churches. (HT: Danny) This guy’s got talent (HT: Chad Wright)

Read this on a blog two nights ago…forget which one it was.  It’s really good.   When a person allows their regrets to hold them captive – it seems to me that it is the ultimate display of pride. To not forgive ourselves – when God died to forgive us for our mistakes/sins – aren’t [...]

  Seems like I’ve experienced something like this before.   (HT: Naked Pastor)

Revival starts when you take a piece of chalk into your room, enter your closet and draw a circle on the floor.  Kneel in the middle of that circle and ask God to start a revival within that circle.  When He answers, that’s when revival begins. Revival doesn’t begin with others, a church, or even [...]

You choose.   (from: The Ongoing Adventures of ASBO Jesus)

Songs have particular meanings for me.  Some more than others.  This one really speaks of where I am at right now.   waiting room by shane barnard i will run when i cannot walk i will sing when there is no song i will pray when there is no prayer i will listen when i [...]

I will wait for You patiently Praying from my deepest point of need I was listening to this song called ‘Wait’ by a band called By the Tree this evening.  This song is pretty old, but wow this is where I am at right now.  Its been a long two months and the search continues [...]

Brad Ruggles writes a live blog of an overview of what Dave Ramsey spoke on at Catalyst (In Atlanta, GA) this week.  I am neither a pastor or have my own church.  I do however have a interest in church leadership, churches, etc.  I’ve also been apart of a church that spoke a lot about [...]

Preface: I don’t mean to offend anyone.  Specifically family members who may read this, just making it clear that it is my response to things in life.    The other night I was reading through a book that I read a few years ago.  It deals with specific relationships and it got my mind thinking [...]

A friend on facebook posted this video a couple days ago.  Its amazingly ridicules.  There tree’s for crying out loud.  Seriously, why don’t people get upset about the millions of aborted babies, or the thousands of people being murdered in the cities around the world.  I dying tree is the least of our worries.  This [...]

This article is from about a year and a half ago over at Mark Battersons blog.  I am finally getting around to sharing it.  Mark has great insight and appreciate his ministry in Washington D.C.  Here is the article. Church Steeples There was a time, just a few centuries ago, when nautical maps of Europe had [...]

“The health and life of the church rests in the spiritual examples the elders model. The problem in the church today is not the absence of innovative programs, financial giving, or dynamic preachers and teachers. The problem is in the leadership team.” – Found on the internet a few years ago.

So it makes me wonder. Through the experiences that I have had at church why restoration, isn’t really restoration.  I have seen two pastors, I personally know, fail morally in the positions they held, one in particular was in the very church that I was attending.  Why is it that we as believers never reached [...]

I’ve been wresting around this past evening with what to write exactly.  I’m still not sure I’ve come to a complete conclusion, and what I write may be a mess, but here it goes.   To be honest, I’ve had quite a bit of things on my mind as of late.  Some of those things [...]
