Random Camp Question

I’m writing today from Glen Lake Camp where I’m serving as one of the Deans for our the first High School camp at our United Methodist camping ministry facility in Glen Rose, Texas. {see below for more info on Glen Lake} I did a fairly good job packing for my week, but I did forget a [...]

What it means to forgive…

The following is a quote I shared in my message last night that didn’t make it onto the sermon notes that we hand out each week so I thought I’d share it here.  Vengeance is having a videotape planted in your soul that cannot be turned off. It plays the painful scene over and over again inside your [...]

Busy Saturday

As I write this, it’s approaching lunch time here on Saturday. I’ve just finished up the sermon for tonight and I’m about to meet a friend for lunch. My dog is here in my office. My wife and daughter are outside playing on the playground as we’ve been displaced from our house as someone comes [...]

Where are the playlists?

I was working this week on stuff for our men’s small group that we’ve recently started on Saturday mornings. We’ve been meeting at 7:30 a.m. on Saturdays which sounds ridiculous but we’ve had a great turn out and great discussion every morning.

Side Thoughts

• I'm finally home from a great week of camp. It's going to be a bit of a whirlwind weekend as I cram to get ready for Saturday night. I preached twice this week at camp and even though I've done a lot of thinking about tomorrow's message, it's not on paper yet. So I'm feeling a bit flustered tonight.  The new playlist will be up before Monday. I should be able to post on Sunday afternoon after things slow down a bit. The goal is to take some vacation time starting next week. Let's hope that happens.  [Link]
• I've decided to discontinue the connection between my Twitter updates and the blog. I'll still be twittering. You can follow me here if you'd like, but having those posted to the blog seemed to be a weird connection between very different social networking platforms.  If I've made a horrible decision, feel free to let me know in the comments or just join the Twitter community!  [Link]
• I woke up early this morning to do some planning for the next set of Friday playlists which will begin this Friday. By popular demand, I will be posting nine weeks of readings [45 days] from the book of Genesis. This first week, which will be posted this Friday, we'll be reading, Genesis 1:-6:4. If you are interested in starting a bible study plan, I hope the Friday playlists will be a good resource for you. For more info on the playlists, click here.  [Link]
