The Journey

I am currently reading Aqua Church by Leonard Sweet.  A thought-provoking read in which he writes:
A party of economists was climbing in the Alps.  After several hours they became hopelessly lost.  One of them studied the map for some time, turning it up and down, sighting on the distant landmarks, consulting his compass, and finally [...]

I am still reading HIGH: Stories Of Survival From Everest And K2 edited by Clint Willis.  A great read because each chapter is by a different climber.  The chapter that I just finished was by Doug Scott and Dougal Haston.
Doug Scott writes, “Mike…must have known his chances of making a summit bid were slim, yet [...]

Another great weekend @ Church

We had a powerful early service.  I ministered on the subject of The Power Of Unceasing Prayer.  Our text was 1 Thess. 5:17 and we talked about the power of persistent, persevering prayer to change the circumstances in our lives.  We were challenged that no matter what it may look like [...]

In 1981, as a 23-year-old freshman, Judy Jacobs was profiled in her college yearbook.  “Nothing takes the place of the anointing,” she wrote in her profile, “but just think what one can do with the anointing and a knowledge of music.  I am here to turn something upside down for the Lord and be used [...]

He tells the story of how that he and his friend Dan had decided long before that they were [...]

Debbie has a great post on the importance of being an initiator on her blog.

We had a great weekend at Church. 
I ministered on “What Do You Have Faith For?” in the early service.  Our text was Acts 14:7-10 where Paul perceived that the lame man in attendance that day had faith to be healed.  We ministered from the thought that it was not Can God? but rather What [...]

I confess that I am hooked on Apple products.  Obviously I’m not alone and there are even those that take their love of Apple products to the extreme by hanging onto the packages that their products came in according to this article in Wired.  As I read this I began to think of the reason [...]

I love this…
Mark Evans said, “Too many people walk through life in shoes that are too small, afraid to step out in faith and risk it all in their pursuit of God’s best for their lives. ”
After reading this I began to think about times that my shoes were too small … times that I [...]
