picture from thefilmspectrum.com Day 1 - finished thoughts. I had a friend of mine comment yesterday with two, very insightful thoughts on truly following wherever Jesus may lead us. The first was the idea that we tend to limit God because we are unwilling to take risks, to dream big or maybe it's because we've never … Continue reading 40 Day Journey – with Dietrich Bonhoeffer – Day 1 finished

40 Day Journey – with Dietrich Bonhoeffer – Day 1
I am doing a 40 day devotional series with Dietrich Bonhoeffer. I thought as I do so, I would take the opportunity to journal as I travel through this 40 day journey. This is primarily for me, but hopefully, there will be something that others can learn as they follow along. You can create your … Continue reading 40 Day Journey – with Dietrich Bonhoeffer – Day 1
A Story to Share
It's been six months since I have written anything. Some of that's due to writer's block which I get on occasion and some of it's because life simply happens to steal all of your time. Honestly though, the greater hindrance for me has been related to two themes. The first being that I have some … Continue reading A Story to Share
Life Lesson 2 – Serving continued
I ended the last post saying that Love was another component to serving others. I have not always had a desire to serve others.

I left off the last post with the question, What is God's Will for My Life? You here this question or statement a lot while hanging out with Christians, usually something like - "if you could pray for me, I am praying that I would do God's will". Or maybe you hear - "I feel … Continue reading What is God’s Will for My Life?
People are just people – 11/8/12
As we got into the teaching time with the students, you could sense their excitement in having new people come to share with them. As I looked around the room, all of them had their bibles out and were on the front edge of their seats and all eyes looking forward. Initially I was nervous … Continue reading People are just people – 11/8/12

The following was written on the plane ride home from Paris to Atlanta. Monday was a hard day with trying to get last minute details worked out for my time away while anxiously awaiting 3 pm to arrive so we could leave for the airport.

I am asking you to go.
Hard to describe the mood I am in today. Realizing that I now have a little over a week to be fully prepared is starting to sink in a little. Our team is actually meeting tonight to go over our agenda, game plan for our time in Cape Town. I think after tonight I will … Continue reading I am asking you to go.

A Study of Joseph – Pride Avoided
Finally, after 13 years Joseph is released from prison and not only that, he now finds himself as the 2nd in command of the whole nation of Egypt! As we pick up the story in Genesis 41:41-44, we see that Pharaoh announces Joseph's rise to power in a big, big, way. After declaring that Joseph … Continue reading A Study of Joseph – Pride Avoided
