I was reminded this past weekend of how significant small things can be. My family and I spent this past Sunday evening hanging out with a friend and his family. It was a great time. He cooked brisket, we ate, talked, laughed, talked baseball, and caught up on the past 13 years. Up until a month ago I hadn’t [...]

Yes, even us pastors have pet peeves and things that get on our nerves from time to time. We are only human as you may be aware. I know it may be hard to believe but there are actually a few things can get under my skin just a bit.    In no particular order here are four of the [...]

Right now my life seems like a whirlwind with so many things going on. In some ways it’s exciting and in other ways a bit overwhelming. That’s why is so critical for me to focus and prioritize. Almost weekly I’m presented with new opportunities to do some cool things but right now these are the top five things going on [...]

In the words of Kip in the movie Napoleon Dynamite “I love technology.” Seriously, I don’t know what I’d do without it. I wrote this post using my Google Nexus S smart phone and can’t imagine what it would be like to not read the latest and greatest books for Kindle on my Galaxy Tab. Facebook, Twitter, the list could [...]

Earlier today on the way back from a Leadership Planning Retreat with my Lead Pastor we started talking about business books. With a background in entrepreneurship prior to ministry, I’ve read tons of business books. Guys like Malcolm Gladwell, Seth Godin, Michael Gerber, Jim Collins, I’ve read them all. One of my favorites that came to mind is Guy Kawasaki’s [...]

It’s no secret, I’m a big fan of most sports and love using sports analogies, comparisons, and clichés. One of my favorites comes from the great game of golf, "It’s not how you drive it’s how you arrive". Put in layman’s terms, "it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish." In golf it’s used frequently after someone hits a [...]

I’m not going into too much detail (it’s after midnight and it’s been a long day) but I would definitely have to say that the “lab day” at Catalyst Dallas was well worth it. The main session speakers (Scot McKnight and Mark Batterson) were very engaging, and all of the lab session speakers were right on the money. More than [...]

Is this what it should be about? I’m not picking on this church, but as I was driving by I noticed their banner out front. I circled the block and stopped right in the middle of the street to take this picture. Unfortunately this is what many churches have made it about. It’s not about getting more members, it’s about [...]

I’m being serious. I feel like a total slacker because I’ve neglected my blog as much as I have this year. My original goal was to post once a day, then three times a week, then once a week. It’s ended up being more like once a month. In my defense I’ve had lots going on. I’m working on two [...]
