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 [...]

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 [...]

Most Fridays I spend the day catching up on other stuff in life…paying bills, running errands, playing with the kids while Leslie gets a break, working in the yard and such. But last Friday I had all three by myself all day. Leslie had to go to some technology training deal for her new part [...]

Been away from the blog in the last week. Wanted to throw up a few pics to recap the latest. Here’s a pic from my laptop of my good friend Jim Pierce, the one whose 40th birthday we celebrated last weekend at the lake. I think we all survived the weekend together but we were [...]
