The Royal Wedding. Are you planning to watch it? I am. I have no shame. I may not be up at 3am, but I’ve already won the argument with my husband about DVRing it. I have been fascinated with royalty my entire life. There is an aspiration to the power, the influence, the prestige and […]
I have no coherent thoughts today. It’s all kind of a jumbled mess of quiet, tired, restful, restless, anticipatory and grateful. Quiet after a full weekend of Easter services and celebration. Tired from the same. Restful from a good night’s sleep and no alarm clock to wake me up… unless you count the dog who […]

This is just a little glimpse of our day today at Cross Point. (Photo thanks to Chris Surratt.) This is a pic of a group of people who were baptized tonight at our Downtown Campus. We celebrated over 50 baptisms today at our campuses and every single one of them is a powerful reminder of […]
Have you heard this voice? You know the one… the voice that takes over when you find yourself a little unsure… a little out of your element… a little insecure. I hate this voice. I don’t usually know it’s there until it’s already spoken up and embarrassed me. Some insecurity voices are loud and boisterous. […]
There are two things on my mind today after another great day at Cross Point. These are personal observations of my own interactions. And while they were set in the context of our Sunday services, these are really two transferable principals for leaders in any environment. 1) Make the first move. People are dying to […]
You know you are in desperate need of some time at home when you look forward to a day of laundry and house cleaning. 🙂 I love my quiet Fridays at home, but today is an extra-special treasure since I’ve been traveling so much. On the agenda for today: Laundry & more laundry Preparing for […]
