Sometimes reading Scripture is like looking at a puzzle wondering how it all fits together. Ever since my Florida trip I’ve been pondering Phil. 1:27 – what is ‘conduct worthy of the gospel of Christ’? And today I read Col. 2:6: ‘so walk in Him…’ What on earth does this puzzle mean?! As I read […]

“My dream isn’t ultimately about me. It’s about how God wants to bless and reach others through me. THOSE FOLKS NEED ME to embrace God’s dream for me.” That was a huge morsel I took away from our pastor’s teaching yesterday. It was the 2×4 upside the head this blockhead needed. My life suddenly went […]

When there was a sense of urgency and the transporter was broken, that’s what Capt. Kirk would ask: “What’s the problem, Mr. Scott?” Sometimes I feel like my transporter has been broken which causes me to ask the same question of myself: what’s the problem? Colossians 1:13 reads “For He delivered us from the domain […]

I scribbled on my bulletin this morning at church. I had to find something to write on to capture what was going on in my head during worship. The lyrics pierced my heart & put an image in my head and asked the question that penetrates to the core: “You tore the veil, You made […]

Tonight I found a missing link…not THE missing link, but A missing link. There was no huge research budget, no years in the making (well…maybe…..)…no committee or anything. It kind of just ‘happened.’ I went to a lake 5 minutes from the hotel. Packed my backpack w/ my CD player, some worship CDs and other […]

I had a drink tonight. A BIG drink! I needed it…I mean that, I confess it…I needed a drink tonight. I drank deep from the Fellowship Fountain. I just spent 3-1/2 WONDERFUL hours with a kindred spirit friend. Ever heard of that before? I’m blessed to have a number of them. That’s good & bad. […]

Sometimes life just drains you dry. Before you know it you’re an old dry used up sponge sitting in the bucket, basically worthless. You don’t hold any water – it just runs right through. That’s what happens when life eats at you, when you get ‘holes’ in you that are too big to be useful. I’ve […]

Blinky lights are a wonderful thing…when they’re SUPPOSED to blink! In this case they alerted the plane captain to an engine problem and he shut the engine down. They pushed us back to the gate (we were getting ready to taxi) and two hours later we were off again. Where would we be without blinkly […]

My guess is it’s in the back our all our minds..where were you when _______? I was at work – a new job…only 7 months (almost to the date)…learning the ropes when suddenly my life as I knew it stood still. I heard the news…the first plane. Then the 2nd. Then the Pentagon. And Pennsylvania. […]

First, let me go on record…I do NOT own a ferret….nor do I desire to own one. Yes, they’re cute with their little twitchy noses looking up at you and I imagine there’s nothing like having them crawl all over you. Ah – I can just feel it – the claws digging in just a […]
