So its Wednesday and I’m on a field trip with Dean’s class @ the Adventure Aquarium in Camden. As I watch The Boy and the other kids reach in to touch the sharks, I am intrigued at how intimidated they are at first and how they can’t get enough within just a few minutes. Most [...]

I my morning devotions in the book of Psalms yesterday, I read this verse :: “Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him;” – Psalm 37:7a I’m no good at the “still” thing. I admittedly don’t leave enough margin in my life. And I don’t say “no” very well very often. But even [...]
Here’s another great piece written by Ridge Burns, the keynote speaker the first Sunday at our Missions Conference. THE INTERNET by Ridge Burns I’m amazed at how dependent I have become on the Internet. In fact, I am almost willing to say I’m not sure I can live without it. I know that sounds silly, and certainly if [...]
I originally posted this back on October 20, 2009. It was something Perry Noble, a pastor down in NC, wrote. I thought it was worth sharing again. Eyes LOCKED! by Perry Noble I took Charisse to her crib the other night–but before I put her down I decided to spend a few minutes with her [...]

As I spent time with the Lord on vacation, I felt Him laying on my heart that we needed to get more serious about reaching the lost with [...]
I’ve loved this quote by Soren Kierkegaard which I read several years ago. Think about this statement. Ponder it. There is great truth in it. The Bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to undertstand it because we know very well that [...]
I read this quote yesterday: “People are afraid to be amazing.” I think this is very true. But what keeps us from being amazing? Why are we afraid. After all, if we listened to God in Isaiah 51 (see Wednesday’s “Are You Hungry?”) we would no not to be afraid. So what makes you afraid [...]
