No, I am not Great.
There are other people in this world who can’t or won’t talk about this part of their life. There are so many stories that need to be explored instead of criticized.

Temptation vs the “Home” team
I don’t expect any of you to know this about me but it is an important over share. So here it goes: I am a recovering sex addict. I don’t say this to be funny. This is a serious problem. I use the word “recovering“, not because I am actively engaged in activities that fall into

Learning, growing, and church planting.
Hello all, I have been lagging in my updates and posts as of late. It seems I can only focus on 4 things at once. Aside from work, family, and work (yes I put that in there twice) the fourth major life focusing event is CHURCH PLANTING…. Yes, I did say that phrase. Church planting

When words are not enough…
I had a pretty important exchange with my boy today. It was prompted by an evening spent in frustration, the night before, as he tried to cram a weeks worth of homework into a four hour span. This, despite my warnings during the week. He and I had discussed and agreed that this work was to be

So you say it’s your Birthday!
It’s my Birthday too, ya! On this day of celebration, I see just how much things have changed, despite those things that stay the same. Here I sit, finally completing a thought, putting my inspiration of spirit into a glom of words, to share with you. Looking in my “drafts” folder, I can count no

How well do we “Do Difficult”?
Among us believers, we like to say that God allows these situation because “We Can Do Hard“ (or “difficult” depending on the group), meaning that we know this life is not easy and when we triumph it is because Our Lord’s strength runs through us. But sometimes, like me over the last 24 hours, We Believers

Ask Gary?
A colleague at work put this little mock-advertisement together. It really struck me as entertaining because my job is focused around software engineering process improvement. However, as I thought about it, I realized that there really is an inherent problem with our perception of authority. Our friends at Meriam-Webster define authority as: au·thor·i·ty [uh-thawr-i-tee, uh-thor-] noun, plural au·thor·i·ties.
Caleb Strong Men’s Challenge: Love on your families.
This is my anniversary weekend. I am a blessed man, but I am only blessed because of Jesus’s example and Peter’s challenge to us. 1 Peter 3:7 – … husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman …, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that

He makes all things new.
The Bible teaches us that Jesus came to this world in order to save it. In short He came to make all things new. We are new creations in Christ. We are made the Father’s new family in Christ. Our old self, the carnal, the physical self, dies to make way for our new, reborn

Dreams Die, Christ Lives
Dreams of Lost Friends Last night I dreamt (dreamed sp?) about a person from my past. It was strange for me for many reasons. One is that this person had a large hand in shaping who I am today, as a follower of Christ. The other is that, all though I don’t know the state
