the G sides

15 years in student ministry affords you the luxury of developing your own lexicon of phraseology. I was rambling about something incredibly important the other day and used the phrase “that is wheels off.”
Which reminds me of a story of Riley. Her parents had just dropped her off at college and told her […]

I’ve been following a blog the last couple of days - on homosexuality. Brian McLaren - yes that evil, liberal, po-mo, emergent church leader (tongue strongly in cheek) wrote an article on how he handled the question “Where does your church stand on homosexuality.”
His response - well, actually…his response (both of them) was quite […]

As a Bronco fan, I’ve learned that the off-season is almost just as exciting as the regular season….almost.
Take last year for instance - draft Maurice Clarett, trade Rueben Droughns for Cleveland defensive line, cut Maurice Clarett, sign Jerry Rice, watch Jerry Rice retire.
This year - lose Gary Kubiak (ouch), flirt with TO, and […]

I finally got the call I was dreading for months….from Heath. They were at the hospital in labor and delivery…….
There was no hearbeat.
I’m coming. Why? What do I bring to the table? What possible words can be uttered that have any meaning at all? Call the Life Group. Stumble […]

Gary Kubiak has always been the man behind the Man. He backed up John Elway. He was Steve Young’s QB coach (picked up a ring there), he was Mike Shannahan’s offensive coordinator (got a couple of rings there). Now - he’s the Man…albeit in Houston.
I’m glad he’s finally got a head coaching […]

I admire his courage and I am on the floor in tears…….

Watched Friday Night Lights last night…(I know, I’m finally getting some time to see some movies that have been on the “To See” list).
If anything, the movie downplays the role of Texas high school football. Don’t get me wrong - the movie is great. It is a great discussion starter for your high […]

I’m leading worship for the 3rd week in a row at Grace. It’s a wierd deal because while I love certain aspects of it, it’s feels a little goofy at times. Like - how does it feel to know the least amount of music on the stage but you are the ‘leader?’ […]

What exactly would you get if you combined the gay cowboy movie Brokeback Mountain with End of the Spear - a movie about a Christian martyr missionary? Am I being irreverent? Maybe….then again…maybe not.
By now you’ve heard about Brokeback Mountain. But what you might not have heard is that Chad Allen, who […]

What the heck was that???
I’m not answering my cell phone for the next 2 days - so don’t even call me. First of all - congrats to the Steelers. They beat the 1, 2, and 3 seeds as a 6 seed. I hope the beat the snot out of the Seahawks.
BUT it […]
