Why does pumpkin pie taste better at home than in a restaurant? Turkey on a holiday? Why does wine taste better in Italy? Why does a hot dog taste better at the ballpark? A hamburger at the football game? A pizza in Chicago? Why is grass greener at a golf course? Why does the sun…

Missional McKnights are landing and working their way to a hotel in Copenhagen as many of you look at this post this morning. We will be here (until next Saturday) to teach and fellowship with some like-minded missional Christians in Denmark at a conference called Oase. We will be south of Aarhus in a village…

Sitting here reading and watching the Cubs play the Bucs in Pittsburgh, I got to thinking about how lucky we are to be Cubs fans. I began to feel sorry for everyone else, and then I got to thinking about which set of fans I feel most sorry for. Here’s my list, and you might…
