Take Your Time

I believe your life is a canvas on which you are painting a masterpiece. If you’re with me on this you’ll need to stop hurrying. A masterpiece takes time. If you rush it you’ll screw it up. Just like Hero was made one tiny pixel at a time so your story unfolds moment by moment. [...]

What about daddy?

This is the best rice commercial in the history of the world. Reminds me of this story. And I think it even sheds some illumination on the father in Luke’s story. Yes, the son returned home. Yes, the son had done wrong. But the father’s heart had changed, too. It doesn’t matter how far you’ve gone. [...]

The sweet cry of lament

I’ve heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don’t really care for music, do you?

The Fulcrum is Jesus

Sometimes I sit in church with the realization that for a lot of folks they think this is the center point of their walk with Jesus. As if, somehow, the fulcrum of the Christian life is attending a worship service? We’ve been raised (Christian language: Discipled) to make church that “can’t miss” thing of the [...]

Transportation matters

Since moving to San Diego in 2008 I’ve taken a lot of public transportation. In fact, part of choosing where we live was proximity to public transportation. I can catch the bus about a quarter mile from our house and the trolley is about 1.2 miles away. With a bike that means I’m 5 to 15 [...]

The Unemployable Problem

Big news out of Washington D.C. recently. The unemployment rate fell to its lowest mark since February 2009, 8.5%. That’s good news if your a president in an election year. But others would be quick to point out that 8.5% unemployment is still too high. Yet, I have to wonder. What percentage of Americans are [...]
