Service in the food industry…where has it all gone? Apparently it has left almost every other food chain and all landed at Chick-fil-A. Check this out. This report just came in from Leslie. Our baby-sitter, Amanda, was heading over to our house just before lunch to watch our girls for the rest of the day. [...]

Wanted to share this as my prayer for you weary ones out there right now.  This is a short clip that I bet I watched over 100 times in the months after my own Dad’s leaving to be with the Lord.  It’s the great Art Garfunkle singing live from Central Park.  Behind Art’s words here [...]

Just a note to say I’m still alive.  And I still love blogging contrary to popular belief.  Just having a little competition right now from some more important things in life.  So…more to come.  But for now here’s a quick update. Went Bowling on Friday with Benjamin and had a great time.  We had to [...]

Looking forward to this week.  Will be spending time with two of my best friends, Brandon Frenzel and Joe Nader.  The three of us have been meeting together each week for over a year now…growing as followers of Christ, challenging each other, keeping each other out of trouble, looking out for blind spots for each [...]

Something is happening with the men of our church.  We’ve had around 75 to 85 guys show up at Cornerstone at 6:15 AM the last two Tuesdays for this deal we started called MAN2MAN…and it’s been amazing. These first weeks we’ve been hearing testimonies from guys in our church about what Christ has done in [...]

Day 1 of Innovate…a good one.  Much of the day revolved around the church leveraging the culture to engage the world with the story of Jesus. We heard about this, talked about this and experienced this ourselves.  The “experienced this” part was quite amazing and compelling. Here’s a rundown from our session with Tim Stephens [...]

Heading out tomorrow for Innovate with our staff.  Looking forward to the conference but more than that looking [...]

Just wanted to drop in this prayer.  I shared it in a sermon a few weeks back and have had several folks ask about it.  It’s one that John Wesley first prayed in 1780 with his early Methodist preachers.  This became part of thier annual covenant service they would do at the beginning of each [...]

Here’s one of my absolute favorite Olympic stories. It’s Derek Redmond’s final run in the 400 m of the 1992 Olympics…along with his dad. “For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, ‘Do not fear; I will help you.” Isaiah 41:13

Just wanted to drop this song in this morning by Jason Upton. It’s one I’ve been listening to as we have been in our current sermon series “Cha-Ching”…money and God’s intention for it in our lives. I won’t write much about it…just want these words to stand on their own. May need to listen to [...]
