  • Walking

    As I get ready to pony up a few dollars for my annual golf membership at Romeo Golf Club, I’ve really had to evaluate what I get out of it. For those who don’t know, during the golf season (April-October) I get up at the crack of dawn and play 9 holes of golf before…

  • Chains: The Great Equalizer

    This morning at my zero hour Bible Study we were looking at Ephesians 4:1-16. There are two things that jump off the page at me in relationship to life as a believer. 1. Paul calls us to live a life worthy of chains. Say what? Paul was probably rarely in trouble before he came to…

  • On purpose

    I had a nice time with Jeremy down in Ohio yesterday. It is always good to catch up with a buddy, even if you have to drive a few hours to do it. Heck, it gave me time to catch up on my radio if nothing else. But here’s a little takeaway from our hours…

  • Paralyzed by Fear

    Below is an article that I’ve written for our churches newsletter, the Romeo Peach We’ve just completed our first week of 3 Story Life groups here at church. Our goal has always been bold. We want to equip 100 people with skills for sharing their faith in 2006. With the groups we have going right…

  • Don’t Waste Your Cancer

    The other day I opened up John Piper’s weekly e-mail to see his article was called Don’t Waste Your Cancer. He wrote this article on the eve of a very scary thing for anyone to go through, cancer surgery. Here’s a sample of one of his ten reasons not to "waste your cancer." 7. You…

  • Still here!

    I just realized it’s been a couple days since I had posted. That’s bad of me! I am doing fine and back in Romeo now. Founders Week was a nice getaway. I’ve also realized just how little work I got done last week when I had so much to do. So, between a litany of…

  • Thank you

    I don’t think I say this enough, but thank you for investing in me. The people of Romeo love me despite myself. You care for my family, you love my kids and my wife. I’m not looking over my shoulder all the time, which allows me to look forward secure in the knowledge that I…

  • Bad Time for This to Happen

    This hasn’t happened to me for several months. But I am having a unique inability to sit down, concentrate, and write anything of worth. I’ve been very easily distracted lately and I know it just has to do with the shear volume of writing I’ve had to do. I remember last year this happened when…

  • No looking back

    Remember this old hymn? Billy Graham has this going when he does his invitations. It’s lyrics are haunting: I have decided to follow JesusI have decided to follow JesusI have decided to follow JesusNo turning back no turning back The world behind me the cross before meThe world behind me the cross before meThe world…

  • When life just makes sense

    How come we don’t see people write articles about how great life is? How come everyone wants to talk about "what sucks" and doesn’t want to talk about things being great, or even just normal. Can I be honest? Life is pretty good for me right now. I know that isn’t newsworthy, but it is…
