My wife persuaded me to take a new Facebook app personality test called “Personality Patterns.” It turns out it is very similar to the “Strength Finder 2.0” tool that we used with our staff. The results are similar too. Anyone who knows me think this is unexpected or out of […]

We are at my sister-in-law’s place in FL. We are having a great time here for their daughter’s birthday (with a stop at Disney World on Saturday) but so far one of the highlights has been a drive in my affine’s 2001 BMW Z3 M. He bought this a few […]
Tyler Williams posted this . Too funny not to share. BTW I am in FL with family, visiting family. I know what you are thinking, everyone’s ideal! Florida and Disney World in mid-August! Let’s just say 9 years in New Orleans prepared us for the heat and humidity. (It’s true […]

Yesterday I posted this: I always wrestle with this, not so much the concept but the definition. I am preaching on June 8th and the readings are Hosea 5:15-6:6, Romans 4:13-25, and Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26. So I ask, what do you all think of this ultra-simplistic definition of faith? Faith […]
I was reading this story from the Seattle Times (HT to Andy Crouch who is quoted in the story; and Eugene Cho) and it ends with this quote: Braun, the seminary student, said he’s not totally committed to any candidate yet. “I just keep thinking, if Jesus were alive now, […]
Dr. Jim West has posted the 29th BS Carnival. In spite of my lack of posts these past two weeks he was kind enough to link to a couple of my posts. Thanks for all the hard work and a great Carnival Jim!
