Agenda

Happy Monday! The last couple of weeks have reminded me about today’s word-of-the-week… AGENDA I can’t seem to figure out how to quit trying to figure out God’s agenda. I keep telling myself I’m not responsible for the results. I see all sorts of evidence that my plans rarely end up being God’s plans. I […]

While Haters Celebrate

I try to avoid commenting on current events. Today, I’m making an exception. I imagine you’re aware of the tragic death of Matthew Warren, the 27-year-old son of Rick and Kay Warren.

Nuance

Happy Monday! My friend Clark Osborn inspired today’s word-of-the-week… NUANCE Clark made a simple statement: “Always” is almost always wrong. He’s mostly right.

Want More Light?

We debriefed the Florida tour with friends a few evenings back and someone asked an interesting question. “How do you keep from getting dragged down by all the pain and need you encounter, especially in the groups you spoke to on this trip?” NOTE: I’m posting this on both sites. Apologies–and gratitude– to those who read […]

Giving Away Light

We debriefed the Florida tour with friends a few evenings back and someone asked an interesting question. “How do you keep from getting dragged down by all the pain and need you encounter, especially in the groups you spoke to on this trip?” Good question, and as usual I didn’t have an immediate response. I […]

After

Happy Monday! Since yesterday was Easter, today’s perfect for this word-of-the-week… AFTER After the big event—the weekend retreat, the important conference, the big bike tour—what happens after? Have you had that feeling? You come home from the life-changing experience and there’s the laundry and the bills. The next morning the alarm clock goes off just […]
