Spiritual Footprint--concrete or poop?

I misread a tweet by @randyelrod that said, “What is your DIGITAL footprint?” I must have “spiritual eyes” because I read it “What is your spiritual footprint?

That caught me off guard, actually. Made me stop for a moment and think about the spiritual legacy I may or may not be leaving. How am I living [...]

I don't have that adventurous spirit

Seein’ as how when the new heaven and earth are coming some day, I just don’t feel the need to climb high mountains or dive into the depths of the Big Blue.

Lemme ‘splain….

There are adventure seekers, right? When’s the next thrill? When can I get that “rush”. Um, well, I don’t have that, what would [...]

I See Fat People

Ok, so we all know that America is the fattest country in the universe. I have to admit, I  contribute to the points that add up to make us #1 on the list, but I’m not proud of it. I’ve got a couple of bulbous places that are being tended to by Jillian. We’re working [...]

Her Calendar

A few years ago I went thru Beth Moore’s Breaking Free series. Um, dude, if you kind of think you need to be free from some stuff, then by all means, do this Bible study. Even if you think you are free, you might consider it because you might find out you aren’t free after [...]

Body Obsession — I think it’s gone……

So, I read lots of posts and have written my fair share about the ups and downs of body image and food and size and …. on and on. You know the drill.

Yet, when I read about the struggles that women face, Christian women face, concerning their bodies, something in me goes all a hay-wire. [...]

I’m Wondering if it’s even possible…..

I have a clock in my bedroom, office, living room, two in the kitchen, girls room, in my phone, computer, and car radio. The banks have them out and a few random other places along the road. All my bases are covered when it comes to needing to know what time it is. I even [...]

You Take the High Road and I’ll Take the Access Road

A couple of nights ago I was leaving church and had turned onto the access road to I-35. I had the windows down and I think the radio was off. It was a nice, cool night.

On the right, the cars on the highway were roaring by, zipping past what was on my left: lush, wooded [...]

Decide

It’s simply a matter of believing.

Here it is 2009, the largest population on the planet in recorded history.

We are positioned for greatness for God.

It’s just, do we believe it enough to dive in, join the ride, and forget about being like everyone else?

Do we believe that God would place each of us at the right [...]

On Monday I talked about how I think about all the people I don’t know, never knew, and will never know. Sometimes I walk around my neighborhood and am overcome by all the “strangers.”

If you haven’t noticed, I’m a thinker. If you know me in the for real life, you also know I don’t shy [...]

I Think About Irish Farmers

I tend to think about the span of life often. I find myself wondering about people I’ll never meet and those millions, billions, who have lived and died on this same planet without name or recognition. I wonder about them. What were they like? What did they do? How did they survive through the Black [...]
