headed, and filled in the gaps just by going. Occasionally, however, I would have trouble because I’d lose track of which way was North. I found out that to get where you’re going, it helps to know where you are. What helps me is 1 Timothy 4:12 which says: “Don’t let anyone look down on [...]

Live Loud
Posted: March 23, 2011 in Daily life, God's words to me, UncategorizedTags: how, Jesus, Live Loud, why
Something that I’ve been learning a lot about recently is living loudly. No, I’m not talking about your little brother. But I’m sure we all know at least one person who IS loud in that way. And maybe it isn’t such a bad thing – maybe it’s just misguided. Okay, maybe I’m sounding a little weird [...]
If God is my father, then I get to be a kid.

The other morning I was spending time with God and reading the Bible. It was pretty awesome. I read Mark 10:15 which says, “I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it,” and I got a sweet new perspective that I never really had. [...]
Do you want the good news or the Good News?
Posted: February 8, 2011 in News and Media, UncategorizedIt’s often said that reading the paper, or looking up current events is depressing. Media can often be a giant highlighter that accents the flaws in everything. We don’t read as much about the 20,000 kids that were given food and clothes, as three that died in a car accident because they made poor decisions. [...]

Success can be defined any number of ways. In fact, it is defined in as many ways as there are people.

Thus, people will similar interests and a similar world-view would probably [...]

This entry was written for myself, so it’ll be formatted a little differently. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Phil. 3:1 - REJOICE IN THE [...]

This weekend has been coming up so quickly, yet it seems so far away at times. We’re keeping our Sunday Mornings at the Magic stick, and we’re adding a Saturday [...]
The superhero in you

When I was a kid, I was really into cartoons. I used to wake up on Saturday mornings itching to turn on the TV and see what was playing. There were a few shows that I didn’t particularly enjoy as much as the rest, and some that I could have watched all day. I really [...]

Have you ever done something wrong, and thought you could get away with it? Well, did you get away with it? I remember a time when I was about eleven or twelve years old. My cousin used to come over quite frequently, and we’d usually have a lot of fun. Once when he was over, [...]
