I’m sharing some excerpts from my in-progress manuscript about Rich’s Ride. You can check out previous posts here. # # # # # I learned a lot during RICH’S RIDE. Some of what I learned was new, most of it was reminders of stuff I already knew. It’s interesting to learn new stuff you already […]

Everybody’s got a story. Have you ever thought about that? Wherever Becky and I tell the story of RICH’S RIDE, we inevitably hear compelling stories in return. It’s as though hearing about our adventure releases others to share their own experiences. I love listening to these stories. We often hang around for a long time […]

Happy Monday! This weekend reminded me of an uncomfortable word-of-the-week… DIVIDE One of the cool things about speaking to different groups is worshipping in a variety of churches. I find it refreshing to remember that Jesus is worshipped in many different ways. Ministers wear robes, pastors wear blue jeans. Electric guitars, pipe organs, pianos, old […]

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 […]

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 […]
