In Need of a “Come to Jesus” Moment?

October 2, 2019

Is it just me or is life getting faster?  It can’t be just me can it?  I don’t know what it is but the more I desire to get my life in order and under control, the faster and more chaotic life seems to get. 

Always on the run…late to an appointment…stuck in traffic…got 2 hours worth of errands to run in 45 minute lunch break.  Busy, busy, busy.  Finish one busy season and the next one is even more busy.  ENOUGH!!!!

Believe me, no one knows the stress of a busy life more than me – especially these days.  Between the responsibility of shepherding a church or leading my family or just trying to be faithful in my walk with the Lord, it just seems like I can’t get caught up on everything.  One task gets done and two more are waiting right around the corner to take its place.

I’m not alone am I???

Having a Friend in High Places

March 7, 2018

Ever feel like you’re drowning?  Like it’s just too much?  Like the world around you is a raging sea and you just keep getting tossed from one wave to another?  Always unsettled?  Always on the run?  Always late for something or behind on something?  Always overwhelmed?

If so, JOIN THE CLUB!  Believe me, I know how you feel and I often find myself in a similar state.  Too many things going on at the same time and not enough time or energy to do a quality job with each of them.

I gotta start working out...And I need to find time to fix some stuff around the house...Oh and my kid needs help with his homework...And I forgot to read my Bible today...And there’s a meeting in church tomorrow...

TOO MUCH!!!

Are you Living or “Just Surviving”?

April 17, 2015

I have this friend that has the same debate with me often. It typically goes like this, “What’s the point of it all? Why can’t Jesus just end it all now so we can go to heaven?”  

It’s a hard question to answer when you think about it because… I mean, life is hard, many people are suffering – wouldn’t we all prefer to be in heaven? This begs the question of whether life is meant to be “just surviving.”

Sweet Victory

February 6, 2015

There’s nothing like a good song to lift my spirits. Music is a very powerful thing, and to me… it’s how my heart worships. It’s the strongest way my spirit connects with God.

Now, if I were to tell you that hip hop is my favorite genre of music, you might think I’m crazy; but there is some seriously good Christian hip hop out there, and it’s a beautiful thing!

There’s one song in particular that I’ve been listening to (on repeat) for the past several weeks. It comes from the album Riseby Trip Lee (whose concert I just attended last night, and it was AWESOME!!). The song is called Sweet Victory.

The Power of God’s Promise

September 4, 2014

Ladies and gentlemen…I am BACK!  Fr. Anthony is now in the building and it’s time to get back to turning the world upside down for the glory of God!

In case you didn’t notice, I was off from blogging for the past two months (pleeeeeease tell me you noticed!).  I took the summer off in order to concentrate on two other projects – two HUGE, ginormous, God-sized, set-the-world-on-fire projects which you’ll be hearing about very soon.

But before I tell you about those projects (sorry, but trust me, it’s coming, check back here on Monday morning), I wanted to share a verse that has become very special to me over the past few months.  It’s actually my “promise for 2014” – a verse that I randomly selected at our New Year’s Eve party as we all chose a verse from the Bible as our promise for the new year.
