Parenting: Sometimes we see painful reminders

There are some people I just can’t understand. Walk through a store like Wal-Mart some time and you’ll generally see at least one parent shouting insults at their child in front of everyone else. I just don’t get that. Everyone’s home life is different, from schedules to relationships. I totally get that and I realize…

Live Your Legacy

My Aunt died late this summer. I flew up to Western New York with my entire family to attend and speak at the wake, funeral, and gravesite ceremony. We told personal stories, laughed a lot, and shared a few days together as an extended family. Her legacy? As I said from the stage, she would fight…

Parenting: Being a Parent involves effort

From the first few nights in the hospital room I knew I had work to do. My wife was recuperating, my son was sleeping wrapped in his blankey, and I was the guy hired to greet the nurses that came into the room every half hour or so. I would get up at night when…

So What About Some Good News?

There is plenty of bad news out there. Really bad news. Cities are being devastated by storms, bombs, and poverty. Just about every Western government is so broke they are borrowing money to keep the doors open. Our wages aren’t going up as fast as the price of food, oil, or electricity. Bad news isn’t…

Parenting: Since becoming a dad, I’ve learned…

Since becoming a dad, I’ve learned even more that I am not the most important person in my life. I’ve learned more about my role in the lives of other people. I cringe when I hear parents talk about the burden their children are, about how their lives have been changed for the worse and…

Parenting: My responsibilities have changed

While sitting in the first few rows at my church, I once heard a guest speaker named Pastor Mark Driscoll say that this: “…the longer someone is single, the longer they have to learn how to become selfish.” My first thought as a College & Singles Pastor was “Oh man. They’re going to hate him.…

Chutes & Ladders

Do you remember the game “Chutes and Ladders” from when you were a kid? It came with a board, some game pieces, and dice. When I was a kid, I loved playing “Chutes and Ladders.” I remember rolling the dice, hoping to land on the long ladder that reaches all the way to the top,…

Singing Songs While Bullets Fly

I hope that each time my faith is tested, that I come through for Jesus. I read courageous stories about ancient Christians under persecution for their faith and I wonder if many of us can measure up. In the pages of history, Christians persevere through slow, violent deaths. In today’s U.S., churchgoers leave the church…

And He’s Buying a Wormhole to Heaven

I’m writing in response to recent comments made by Stephen Hawking. I have not the education nor the accolades that Hawking possesses. Please forgive my lack of such credentials, just as I forgive his lack of sound research or academic honesty. Reknowned physicist and uber braniac Stephen Hawking has declared that “heaven” is not real, and…
