Quote from Sunday

So Chris made this quote on Sunday that was quite convicting.
“We are more in love with the idea of being missional, than in love with the God of the mission”. 
Umm…ouch. 

Oh, I get it…

So, a couple of weeks ago my good friend, Doc, came over to help me facelift my front yard with some plants and flowers. Doc is in the landscaping business, so I pretty much stepped back and observed. The yard looks fantastic. So, this is how a conversation went this afternoon concerning my yard.
Me: Hey [...]

Blessed

Been thinking of just how privileged of a place that God has placed me. Off the charts family. Tremendous friends. A church that I care for deeply. And many others blessings. Last weekend Doc Wible came over on a Saturday morning and helped (and by helped, I mean he did most the work) plant some [...]

We have to do something…

Not sure exactly what it is, but in the course of the last year God has expanded my heart for the world.

Really humbling to think about how many types of people God has made. We are going to board our flight (11 hours) to Cairo shortly. Pray for us as we head [...]

Mad FOR Them

Church planting, ministry, the mission of Jesus…it’s hard stuff. There are tons of reasons why. There’s the financial stress (both personally and for your church), it’s physically grueling, and full of spiritual battles that we, by and large, don’t even recognize going on around us. For me, the biggest weight is emotional. And I don’t [...]

Bears win!

My Baylor Bears pulled out a doozy tonight.  Michael Beasley from K-State is a freakshow…simply amazing! That gives them 3 wins over ranked opponents. They just need two more wins to hit the magic 20 win season and they will be a lock for the tournament. If they win out (that means beat A&M again, [...]
