Some pics from the ‘take your kid to work’ day. And yes, I do think it is within the spirit of the day. My kids go to work with me every Sunday, every Wednesday, and most weekends. I count it an honor that they’ve gotten an inside look at what serving God in a local read more
I’m not convinced that God cares what kind of vehicle I drive. I do think He cares that I’m responsible with the money He’s given me and not go in debt. I say that because as much as I would like to say that God had nothing to do with the purchase of our “New read more
Ran across this news item this morning. Pretty cool to think about it but I have to admit…if you want an Academy Award, probably ought not to film here. The Frisco Kid Die Hard 2 The Cowboys – this John Wayne flick was filmed 10 minutes from our house in Castle Rock! Cat Ballou Butch read more
For the first time in a long time Chief fans have a lot to look forward to. They had a great draft. They are still going to be horrible next year…but they’re going to be good soon. Raiders – any question as to who is making decisions in Oakland? It’s not Lane Kiffin. McFadden is read more
NFL DRAFT starts at 1 pm local time today. And yes, I will watch at least the first two rounds. Why? Because this is the oasis in the middle of the football desert. Because it’s full of hope and promise. Because it gives a chance for every team to be a winner today. Unless you’re read more
They come in holding hands. I want ‘em to leave with crossed arms. Seriously, one of my goals is to get them fighting about something. How are they are going to fight? Will they fight fair? Either of them a bully? Either of them cower at the first hint of conflict? Do they stay on read more
What do you do if you’re a student pastor? They go to ‘work’ with me every Sunday and Wednesday night…. Play Xbox all day? Or maybe… a Rockies day game against the Cubs? Go Rocks.
We are going to rent out a theater for Prince Caspian. Let me first say this. I’ve heard of guys criticizing this kind of event. Some because we are partnering with the ‘whore of Babylon’ called Hollywood. Others because they think it’s ‘bait and switch’ evangelism. For us – it’s neither. It’s an opportunity for read more
Since Amy didn’t get home till 9 last night, I had Cayden with me all day. So the plan was – she comes to work with me and draws and helps Megan recycle name tags and the like, we grab lunch (Noodles) then go back to the office. 9 times out of 10 – she’s read more
This is part of our weekly journey through the book of Acts. Today is from Acts 12. Danny and I have talked a lot about prayer the last few weeks. We’ve come to the same decision regarding our prayer life. We’ve quit praying ‘If it’s Your will.” We’re going to quit acting surprised when He read more
Amy went to Orlando this weekend to surprise her mom on her birthday. (Currin Ann isn’t releasing any information on what number birthday this is. It’s a good strategy but when she has a daughter that is in her 30′s, it’s getting harder to believe she’s still 29.) Of course I got the normal teasing read more
Dad and I were running up to Arapahoe Basin for one last day of skiing. For him that would be his 5th day (not bad for a guy who lives in Alabama). It would be my 29th day of the season. To get 29 days in is incredible but not all of them were full read more
My dad was in town for a conference so he came a few days earlier to close out the season with us. We spent two days at Copper. Had 6 inches of powder the first day. Only 4 inches the next. Here are some of our favorite pics of the time. After a couple of read more
I thought I stray over into some fiction this time around. I almost wish I hadn’t. Eric Van Lustbader tries to pick up where Robert Ludlum left off and while he doesn’t do a terrible job…it’s not a great one either. Ever seen a great movie that did so much better than anyone could have read more
This is part of our weekly journey through the book of Acts. Today is from Acts 11. We need more ‘you’ve got some ‘splaining to do’ moments in church. Moments when people hold up their hands, raise their voice and say – “Would you mind telling me what the heck is going on here and read more
Another week, another lesson in the politics in of little league. As we were warming up, I kept looking for the team we were supposed to play because I knew we couldn’t be playing that team of 11 year olds who looked like the cedars of Lebanon. I was wrong. Dead wrong. The director said read more
Here it is. See – it’s no big deal but it did bleed like crazy. It looks much better 3 days later that what it did when it first happened.
This is part of our weekly journey through the book of Acts. Today is from Acts 10. Saul had to be blinded in order to see what God was up to. Peter would need no less of a dramatic lesson to see it. Just as Saul had stood on his own righteousness, so does Peter. read more
The greatest college basketball game I’ve ever watched. Ever. Danny Manning – got him another one! Thanks for all the text messages and phone calls from my Kansas family!!!!! Rock Chalk, Jayhawks K U Rock Chalk, Jayhawks K U Rock Chalk, Jayhawks K U Rock Chalk, Jayhawks K U Rock Chalk, Jayhawks K U
Another ski day with Danny last week. The first generated so much dialog I thought I’d share about this one as well. First, somehow, someway we were like the 6th or 7th chair up the mountain. It’s got to be some kind of miracle but there we were waiting for the lines to open. Second, read more
Yesterday we had our first Downtown Lunch Club meeting at Pizza Colore Express. DDLC is a bunch of guys that go to Pinecrest but work in downtown. It came about almost by accident. I was eating lunch with Danny one day and I mentioned that Steve and Chip worked nearby. Danny said – ‘we should read more
Flight is the autobiography of Chris Kraft, NASA’s first flight director. I know what you’re thinking – NASA + rocket science + an administrator as the author = boring book. Wrong. Kraft tells you how it was and what he thought through every step of the program AND he names names. It’s not a politically read more
This is part of our weekly journey through the book of Acts. Today is from Acts 9. Such is Saul’s situation and he doesn’t even know it at the start of Acts 9. He’s become what he hates. He is the Jew’s Jew. Educated, pious, passionate. He’s a man of action in a culture of read more
Today…April Fools Day. Who’s bonehead idea was this day anyway? The end of March Madness. Only 3 more games left. Tax Day. Our car registration is due and emissions test. (This of course is not universal.) Pollen. Much better here in Colorado. In fact, hardly any at all. Arkansas was the worse. It would rain read more
I don’t know what to do with mushrooms. It’s a fungus but a food. I love foods that have some flavoring with mushrooms but then again, I’m not sure if it’s the mushrooms that make the flavor. Does a mushroom actually have a flavor? I’m not the person to answer that because I’m not going read more
