I’m preparing for another fast–food, tv, breathing, I’m not sure what yet. Maybe YouTube. Anyways. We’re (LifeChurch.tv) anticipating an upcoming series that could bring about unity and revival in the church like this world hasn’t seen since Martin Luther’s day 4 centuries ago. Yeah, it’s that exciting. It’s called OnePrayer and you can read more about [...]

THE Ace of Cakes
I have posted a couple of times about Cory, but nothing about my sweet Cameron–and she noticed. I hate to leave her out, but I know she likes her privacy, so I was tryin to respect that. This picture is from last Christmas break. It reflects 2 things she loves. Baking and art. That’s a gingerbread [...]

Be careful!
Be careful! How often do we tell our kids this? Sounds silly doesn’t it? Be careful. As if saying that will somehow protect them, or remind them to watch for cars, or whatever. and if we don’t say it, they will be careless. So, now, for fun, I tell Cory when he’s walking out the door…”Take chances!” [...]

An Everlasting God
You know how you can hear the same thing over and over, and then one day…it becomes real? Tonight during worship, we were singing about God being the Everlasting God. I realized that all else fades away. Everything I have here on this earth will dissappear. None of it matters. But God is Everlasting. Everlasting! The [...]

The day that Cory became “breakable”
One year ago today Cory broke his arm. He was 13 at the time. No biggie, right? That, or worse, happens to people all the time, I know. But, I have to blog about it. It’s therapy. I’ll try to be brief, but I have to process some details. I’ll go easy on the icky [...]

Touching Jesus
Luke 8:46 “Someone deliberately touched me…” This story from Luke has been on my mind for the last few days. It’s funny how I can be reading along, and something just stays with me. It comes to mind at the weirdest times, and I really can’t move on ’til I’ve processed it. This woman was [...]

Mean and twisted
My kids, especially my 14 year old son, tells me I’m mean–and twisted. Ya see, I have what I call a ‘defense mechanism’ that causes me to break out into a fit of giggles when one of my kids is in pain. Seriously, I know it’s wrong, and I look like I don’t care, but [...]

thinking vs. praying silently
I have a internal dialogue. I’m guessing that most people do. A voice inside your head that talks when you’re thinking–no, I didn’t say voices, that would need professional treatment. What I struggle with is switching from this “internal thinking voice” to praying silently, and having it feel differently. I know, it’s just a feeling–no, wait, a [...]

To tell or not to tell
You don’t have to look hard in the Gospels to find stories of Jesus healing someone. Crowds followed him every where, pursued him, and begged him to heal. In fact, it almost seems to me that He was a one man healing side show. Some people came just to see Him do it–like it was [...]
