“Just One of Them Days” [sigh]

I’m having “one of those days”… One of those I-need-to-crawl-back-into-bed-and-start-all-over days. Don’t worry – nothing bad has happened. I just can’t pull it together today. And that almost makes it worse.  I don’t have anything to be upset about. I haven’t just spent a week with impoverished children in India, I didn’t just get the […]

Compassion-ate Prayers

I believe that mission trips are one of the most powerful ways for you to come face-to-face with the raw emotion of life.  I went on my first oversees mission trip to Honduras when I was 16 years old.  Since then I have been to The Philippines, The Dominican Republic and Africa on mission trips.  […]

What Do You Know?

Yesterday I was hanging out with a few of our staff for lunch and found myself marveling at the uniqueness of each of them. In our random chatter I observed: Matt – knows all things media and video.  He really does.  He was rattling off names of music video directors, which videos they have done, […]
