As I begin to look into the life of Paul, I'm struck by how much suffering Paul had to endure in proclaiming the gospel of Christ. I'll cover more of that as we go but for today I want to cover the speech that many consider his most important or famous, which is found in … Continue reading Paul – a speech

Abide in Me
I mentioned a couple a weeks ago that as I continue on this journey of #chasing25 that I would also be sharing snippets into my spiritual discoveries as well as chronicling my physical pursuits. I actually wasn't planning on sharing one this early but yesterday I heard a sermon that I haven't been able to … Continue reading Abide in Me
40 Day Journey – with Dietrich Bonhoeffer – Day 1 finished
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.

Life Lesson Series – Choose to Love
I wonder how many people woke up this morning and decided that today would be a day to hate other people.

South Africa Revisited
I thought I would take the time and try to put a wrap on my recent South Africa trip. I have not been the same person since that trip and my hope is that I never again, take for granted, this incredible life that I have been given. Before South Africa I was doing just … Continue reading South Africa Revisited

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
