I hardly ever go to a Christian bookstore. In fact, the last time I went in one was….yesterday. But before that —- can’t remember. We had a local Christian bookstore in Parker with a coffee shop and stage for live music. It was a great theory, great location, great vibe in the store. There were read more »
It appears that all 3 of our kids are hitting a phase right now that has Amy and I looking at each other like – ‘what bus did we get on?’ You figure out early in parenting that each kid is different. So that’s not new to us. You learn pretty early on that what read more »
I got up this morning and immediately noticed two things. First, I couldn’t open my right eye. Swollen shut. I think Amy beat the snot out of me in the middle of the night. Either that or it’s allergies. Second, I’ve lost my earring. My eye – it will eventually heal. My earring – got read more »
One of things that I’m starting to see and feel happening at WH concerns eggshells. As in walking on them. I’ve never been very good around eggshells. (insert your sarcastic comment here, Wayne.)

We sat in silence for a little over 13 minutes. Afterwards, I kind of gave some pointers of how to practice the discipline and we read more »
I cried over the phone today. Then again at dinner. But let me back up and tell you why first. I get a phone call today, 3pm. “This is Grant.” “Hi. My name is Sue (not real name), I’m with 501 USD (school district that kids are in) and are the father of a 5th read more »
I think it was Erwin who said that when you introduce yourself as a pastor, it’s like introducing yourself as a cannibal. No one wants to be around you anymore. They act differently. Every action you take is intensely scrutinized. And no one wants to come over for dinner. It may sound extreme but there read more »
Yesterday morning I sat down with two other ministry leaders to plan out our year in sermon series. I have a love-hate relationship with this process. I love the freedom it gives us down the road. That’s right – freedom. Planning this far in advance, frees the team up to do more than you can read more »
