  • I used to believe…

    I have said in the past and continue to say to some extent that I don’t trust someone who has never changed their mind on some matter.  I have known a few people who are so dogmatic about every single topic that I just tune them out because they obviously are no longer open to…

  • Tribal Culture

    Last week Heather and I took a dinner train excursion for our anniversary and we were seated at a table with a lovely older couple.  It is because of this trip I decided that I need to get a book on the art of conversation.  We were able to maintain a slight level of conversation…

  • Extreme Christianity

    Extreme Christianity No I am not talking about the 90’s in general when everything was ‘extreme’.  I really want to know if Christianity is meant to be extreme. By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17But if anyone…

  • OK I am a Geek: But I can’t wait!!!

  • That Guy in Every Church…

    That guy in every church… I was riding my bike last night (Man that is much easier when I am not hauling my daughter behind me) and I passed a guy on the trail that reminded me of a guy I used to know, and another.  It seems to me that there are certain types…

  • The why behind the what?

    Have you ever wondered how some things came to be the standard way to do church? I may not have found all the answers but I have found a few and they may surprise you.

  • Pirates? Are you serious?

    It is just a coincidence that this follows some of my Friday pirate Videos but this is a little sad. I have never really listened to Ed Young but I have heard him raved about by some friends. This video makes me not really want to hear from him again. He talks about people who…
