What are you for?

I’m sitting here listening (online) to Brian Houston from Hillsong Australia preach at Christ Fellowship in Florida and he said something that profoundly struck me:
“Live you’re life according to what you’re for, not what you’re against”
You see so many people protesting and complaining and rallying these days against something, that it’s easy to focus on [...]

“Pain is a sign of Life”

I heard Hank Williams Jr.’s daughter utter this quote on the news tonight.
Three years after a near fatal car crash, she was performing on stage for the first time tonight. At one point during her 6 weeks in the hospital, she asked her doctor when the pain would end. After having been brought back from [...]

Is prayer a burden for you?

I just got back from enjoying a couple hours at the pool with a new friend here in Nashville who invited me and the kids to hang out with her this morning. Of course we stayed longer than we should have (it’s so hard to pull kids away from a pool!), so I was hurrying [...]

“Of course,” I replied. When we work, even with the stress and difficulties, we receive immediate [...]

What do you believe?

In church this Saturday we saw a homemade video from Penn Gilette (of Penn & Teller fame). It was a rough cut, but in it he essentially described how he was a true atheist, yet had met a kind fan who, after some very honest and unsoliticed flattery, gave him a copy of a Bible.
While [...]
