I still haven’t seen “The Greatest Showman”
Posted on March 27, 2018 Leave a Comment
Womp-womp! I know. I should have seen it by now. I wanted to see it. I said I was going to see it. Other people saw it and raved about it. I still didn’t go see it. I had good reasons. It came out at Christmas and that’s a really busy time. It is for […]
“What Happy Couples Know”
Posted on March 14, 2018 1 Comment
Anyone else remember going to the video store and renting, not only the VHS tape you were going to watch, but also the VHS player? Y’all, that was a thing. It was a thing right before the era when people started buying their own VHS players and blank tapes to record the shows on tv […]
Do the Work

Growing up, I was told, “Find a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” To everyone who said that to me, I would like to say two things: Thank you. That advice helped me pursue and find a job I absolutely love. I truly feel as though I “get to […]
Generation Z and company

Yup, it’s time to stop talking about the millennials. Thank goodness! Not because we’ve stopped caring about them, but because we’ve singled them out, over-analyzed them to death, no one can ever remember how to spell millennial (thank you, spell check), and it’s time to start talking a lot more about Generation Z – you […]
A Time to Plant and a Time to Uproot
Posted on August 1, 2017 2 Comments
No one told me that planting a church would be this hard. Actually, everyone told me, but I didn’t understand what they were saying. I saw the possibility. I saw the need. I saw the opportunity to reach people no one else was reaching, and the open door to establish a local church where we […]
Knowing Less, Understanding More

I just turned 36 years old. Today, actually. That rounds up to 40, but no one else should point out that detail to me because it would seem I’m a little sensitive to the math. I am 36. Eight years ago, I was 28. I miss the age of 28 because I knew everything then. […]
Family Meal
Posted on June 13, 2017 3 Comments
I grew up in a family that ate dinner together. Not every night, but most nights. Sometimes the meal was homemade, and sometimes it was pizza at 10pm as we ran in the door from after school activities, but we made it to the table. As an adult, and especially as a parent, I’ve decided that […]
To My Dad on His Retirement (not Retirement)
Posted on May 5, 2017 6 Comments
Tonight, my dad “officially” retires from his 40+ years of ordained ministry, serving as a pastor in the local church. I use the air quotes because he not only has a full-time ministry position he’s starting in July, but also because I firmly believe some of his very best year of ministry, professionally and otherwise, […]
Stop Looking Around

Stop it. I know, right? We’ve talked about this before. But here’s the thing, I’m a starter by nature. And lately, God is forcing me to see that stopping is often as necessary as starting. Bob Goff teaches it as a discipline of quitting something every Thursday. (You can pick your own day if Thursday isn’t […]
The Magic of Character
Posted on February 13, 2017 1 Comment
Have y’all heard about Disney World?!?! Okay, maybe I’m behind here, but I was looking back at pictures from a family trip a couple of years ago, and the place truly is magical. But perhaps the greatest magic Disney captures, is the magic, and the power, of character – Character matters. This isn’t new and it […]
