BIG
4nov15 BIG Well intentioned friends counsel us to keep our ministry small. It makes sense… 1. We’re barely making it financially with the 130 kids we are ministering to as it is. 2. We are totally overworked. 3. It is modest and it can be more spiritual/relational to stay small. 4. It is just a whole […]
JOB
30oct15 JOB Contrary to popular opinion, I DO have a regular, well paying job. I work about 50 hours a week. The Lord uses it as a means to provide for a lot of the costs here. We are almost at 7000 a month in expenses,and the ministry is continuously growing. Along with my generous […]
STATUS QUO
23oct15 STATUS QUO When your home is a steady influx of people, it is hard to be in the status quo. Visitors keep you out of the rut. That’s why I love them. Especially if they don’t think like me or believe like me. I think the rut and status quo go hand in hand. […]
HOLINESS

Still, opposites attract. Here’s a perfect example, Jesus. Jesus is perfect, we are not. He […]
HEAT
1oct15 HEAT I saw a meme in Facebook today. I liked it, because it made me examine myself, so I re-posted it. Like I said,, I journal through social media. Transparency is my number one rule. As a pastor, I was always taught to NOT be transparent. That did NOT work very well […]
CONVERSATIONS
CONVERSATIONS Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. Colossians 4:6 NIV In Spanish we say, walk with wolves long enough and you will begin to howl. The more you talk to good people, wise people, the more you will have grace. […]
LIKE
LIKE When you like someone, you like to be with them. There are things in their lives that you identify with which in turn, leads you to want to be like them in certain ways. Sometimes you may not like someone very much, but still find a way to love them. Certainly you can love […]
CROSS
Don’t let your belief in the cross come across as making you cross. More specifically, don’t make others cross because they think that you are cross. The message of the CROSS alone can make others feel uncomfortable. There is no need to pollute it’s power with our feeble feelings. This weekly blog is a journal […]
