Have you watched this exchange between Senator Bernie Sanders and deputy budget director nominee Russell Vought? I think you should. And try to observe what’s really happening…not just what fits your preconceived narrative. Many are decrying the idea of Sanders invoking a religious test for an elected official as illegal. Others are suggesting that while […]
Have you watched any of the reality survival shows on television recently? While there are shows like The Amazing Race that I think I’d enjoy participating in, I can assure you of my insufficient ability to catch, kill and eat wild animals to survive on the more intense shows…(read: If it’s not at the Piggly Wiggly […]
We are sitting around the living room. Five men of different ages…brought together by a common friend who had high hopes of us becoming a band of brothers in the Christian life. I only knew two of the guys well. One I was acquainted with…one a complete stranger. Our well meaning friend, fresh off a […]

It’s […]

And I’ve sat with untold numbers of people as they wrestle through their life’s complications and unknowings. All along the way, I’ve tried to tell people that God loved them. Told them that there is redemption […]
So often I feel myself fighting against the force of nature around me…relationally and physically. I see the things I want to accomplish in life and I angst as the leaves change colors before my vision is realized. I see the rows of corn being taken down by farmers before I have seen the relational […]
How are you feeling today, now more than 24 hours removed from the first head to head political debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump? Energized with fresh hope for a healthy and unified move forward in America? Yeah…not a lot of that going around. Sometimes we try and laugh about it all so that […]
