Who do you know?

I attended a small group leaders meeting this morning at my church. While we were there one of the things that we were talking about was growth. And of course we began to talk about reaching out to the lost in the community around us.  As a part of that conversation the question was posed to [...]

Annoucement

Just wanted to take a moment to announce a new page edition to the blog.  Coming this weekend I will be creating a new page entitled “Story Time”  or “Story Corner” something completly cheesy like that.  What this page will be will be a sampling of some of the short stories that I have written [...]

A Landmark Day in My Life

What an awesome day at church. Today in services we took part in the Lord’s Table, and as a Deacon I have the oppurtunity to serve communion.  That in itself is always an awesome privelege. But today held a special privelege for me, one that I will not soon forget.
During the second service there was a small [...]

Food for Thought

I came across this and it made me stop and think. So I share it with you. 

The six most important words: “I admit that I was wrong.”
The five most important words: “You did a great job.”
The four most important words: “What do you think?”
The three most important words: “May I help?”
The two most important [...]

Slap in the face

Facebook is a funny beast.  We talk about all of these social networking websites that disconnect us from people and remove us from human interactions.  While I don’t argue that these sights, like facebook and myspace, can draw us away from interaction from others.  And I will admit that I am right now sitting in [...]

my blindside… His Foresight

I guess this will be the final entry for this blindsided series.  As corny as it might sound, and as trite as might sound I went to church today and found God waiting.  I left this morning with a burning hatred and anger in my heart towards this whole situation.  I might have resigned myself [...]

Blindsided, but refocused

So the decision has been made.  And no surprise, no one asked me what my thoughts were on the situation. So there is nothing left to decide, but is there?  The decision I have left to make is how will I respond, something completely under my control. And how I decide to respond will speak to [...]

Blindsided, but vision beginning to clear….

So here it is what I am coming around to. There are two sides to every situation and there are always many perspectives that need to be considered. So I am looking at the two sides of this situation, from the two different perspectives. One side being the top down from the company’s perspective and [...]

Blindsided…..

As I was driving home this evening from work I was sitting at the traffic light waiting for my light to turn so that I could continue my drive home. Finally the light goes green and I lift my foot from the brake to the move it to the gas.  As my foot touches the [...]

Encouragement

Who Am I?
People hunger for me, but I’m not food. I motviate poeple, but I am not money. I strengthen emotional relationships, but I’m not love.  I serve the giver as much as the receiver, but many won’t share.  I dramatically change lives, but I’m seldom coonsidered. I am Encouragement
I went to a youth [...]
