Today I had the privilege to disconnect for a few hours here. Something about nature rejuvenates me like nothing else. I hiked. I sat at the foot of the falls. I read. I actually swung on that swing. I prayed. I talked aloud to the sounds in the woods. I didn’t talk to another human […]
I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I finally read this book. I skimmed it when it came out… kind of an appropriate nod to the author who happens to attend Cross Point. Heck, I even consider Matthew and his wife Jessica friends, but unfortunately I let the busyness of this fall keep me from […]
I’ve been pondering this one lately… Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead. from Tribes by Seth Godin As you start dreaming for 2009, are you willing to face the discomfort necessary to lead the vision in your heart?
The word “PATIENCE” has come up in several discussions today. It’s got me thinkin’… What’s the patience quotient look like in my life? How about you?
Potential Do you have it? Yes. Do you know you have it? Maybe. Maybe Not. One of the things that burdens me the most is watching people with tremendous potential squander it or just stay stagnant.

I love to read! Unfortunately, finding dedicated time to read is one of my greatest challenges these days. Any time that I can sneak away with a book is a treasure for me. Here’s what I’ve been reading: Just finished Seth’s latest. I love his writing… his perspective… his candor, but I loved Tribes because […]

I’ve been processing this one a lot since Sunday’s message, but man I have managed to mess it up a lot this week! I Corinthians 13:3-7 (The Message) If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten […]
“Whatever” There was a reoccurring word in Pete‘s message today: Whatever But we’re not talking about the put your hand on your hip, toss your chip up, sarcastic “what-e-ver”, we’re talking about the Colossians 3:17 “whatever” “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, […]
My friend’s (almost) 3 year old little girl asked me an interesting question the other day: “Are you happy or rude?” Hmmm… wasn’t prepared for that? Did she say “happy or rude”? I was prepared for “happy or sad”, or “if you’re happy and you know it”… typical 3 year old connections to the word […]
