I recently posted this to Twitter:
“What activity/hobby have you taken up that helps you & your spouse spend MORE time together? If you don’t have one, why not?”
There are lots of hobbies/activities that I enjoy.  I like to run, bike, play golf, read, blog, and watch 24.  I highlight those things because I do all [...]

I don’t have a ton of pet peeves, but here’s one. If you start your blog with, “It’s been so long since the last time I blogged…I’ve been so busy…” then don’t expect me to read it. I don’t care why you haven’t blogged. If it’s important enough to you to blog, [...]

If you quit leading (your organization, your small group, your church, your home, your business) today, would those you lead be able to immediately pick up where you left off?
If not, how can you lead them to the place where they are capable of continuing on in your absence?

I posted some “Grandpa-isms” last week here. One of my favorites is, “There are 4 P’s that I do for my family: provide, procreate, protect…and make memories.” I have had many laughs as I try to figure out why he continues to call them the 4 P’s. However, I think that the [...]

With The Master’s PGA tournament going on, I thought it fitting to write about Tiger Woods, who, in my estimation, is the greatest golfer of all time. If asked who the greatest golfer in the world is right now, 99.99% of people would say, “Tiger Woods.” The other .001% of people don’t know [...]

Yesterday I posted the first half of a review of Brian McLaren’s book, The Secret Message of Jesus, from one of my friends, John Mark. You can read that post here. In this post, John Mark will continue to interact with the worldview of Brian McLaren. The reason that I find this [...]
