Happy Saturday! I really like the distinction this kid makes between the street definition of religion and what Jesus said. Can’t see the video? Click here. Have a great weekend.

Yesterday (Great Grape Or Second Banana) I wrote about using our unique gifts. I’d like to expand a bit. The more I think about it the more I’m convinced that the notion of “special needs” isn’t biblically sound. My friend Tim pastors a church in Denver, and he talks a lot about the “Y’all Come […]

I’ve been invited to speak at a church in Boulder, Colorado this weekend. The topic is Rich’s Ride and how it relates to people with special needs in the church. I’ll write a bit more about my actual message tomorrow. Today I simply want to express my gratitude. This picture shows perhaps the most difficult […]

And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this? Esther 4:14b It’s one of the really cool questions in the Bible. Esther ascended to an influential position in a foreign land through a most unlikely series of events. She subsequently faced a difficult and potentially dangerous […]

Happy Monday! I listened to a discussion this weekend that prompted thoughts about today’s word-of-the-week… GOOD Most Sundays I prepare for church while listening to a local radio program called You Get The Blessing. I like it because the hosts take Jesus seriously and themselves not so much. One of the hosts, Bo Mitchell, spent […]

If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans. I’m thinking I might amend this adage. Perhaps another way to make God chuckle is to claim that I understand the details of His plans. Yesterday I shared a story over at Rich’s Ride about a Divine Appointment. I believe that particular encounter in […]

I’m sharing some excerpts from my in-progress manuscript about Rich’s Ride. You can check out previous posts here. Yesterday I posted an article over at Bouncing Back (Divine Trajectory) that sets up some background for this incident. I invite you to drop by and take a look. # # # # # During the second […]

Have you ever experienced a divine appointment? Some of us are old enough to recall Apollo 13 as something besides a movie. The mission launched on April 11, 1970 to complete the third manned moon landing. To outside observers, spaceflight had become almost commonplace. This appeared to be just another routine mission, but Apollo 13 reminded everyone […]

Happy Monday! I wish I could get a better handle on today’s word-of-the-week… DISCONNECT I learned today that a friend recently suffered a serious injury that threatens his professional future. His response was gratitude, not for the injury but for doctors and for his friends and family. It’s a great example of action and attitude aligned […]
