The Plan

Stealing is probably the best thing you could do for yourself. I’m a teacher and a pastor and I “steal” ALL the time. I’m not talking about cars or video games or pens at the bank. I’m talking about great ideas. As a teacher, it is always best to do what works to help the…

Let me introduce you to something my dad taught me a long time ago. They are three letters that explain part of what I’m doing here, YBH: “Yes, but how?” Too many times in our Christian circles we hear sermons or read books that resonate with us, but don’t produce change within us. There is…

Thanks to technology, my two and a half month old daughter moved out yesterday… out of Mommy and Daddy’s room that is. It’s for the best too. The tech is a wonderful little flat screne t.v. that connects wirelessly to a camera over my daughters crib. It’s equipped with night vision and super sonic hearing.…

The next-thing can keep me very busy. The next-thing doesn’t matter any more when a new next thing shows up.
