Posted in Bible, Jesus, Planning, Plans, Prayer on July 1, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Ok, let’s go deep today. In your work, you make many decisions every day. You contemplate strategies for the future, right? Jesus gave us a couple of great examples why… Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough [...]

Good Friday?

Posted in Adversity, Death, Jesus, Prayer on April 2, 2010 | 1 Comment »

As I read Matthew 27 this morning, which chronicles the day Jesus died, it didn’t feel like Good Friday. I grappled with what Jesus went through. I tried to imagine how it would feel to be beaten, ridiculed, laughed at, spit on, and mocked. Then, though impossible, I cringed as I imagined someone hammering nails in my hands, then [...]

Need some Monday morning inspiration? Some simplicity to focus on? Several years ago, Henry Blackaby, author of Experiencing God, gave me this pray, work and watch idea.  Take a minute and read this powerful scripture: 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore [...]

“…The few things we can confirm – yes the four-story Caribbean Market building is completely demolished. Yes it was open…”. I found a link through a Twitter post to a blog from missionaries on the ground in Haiti. The stories are heart breaking. http://ow.ly/W00E As marketplace believers, let’s join together to pray powerfully for the Haitians. [...]

In the Still of the Night

Posted in Contentment, Jesus, Peace, Prayer, music on January 11, 2010 | 1 Comment »

How are you sleeping these days?  Ever troubled by insomnia?  Anyone feel like they are working hard all day then laying awake worrying half the night? The bed looks so inviting.  You climb in and fall asleep only to find yourself awake a couple of hours later, but it seems like you just shut your [...]

2010 – Love Jesus More Deeply

Posted in Bible, Jesus, Journaling, Prayer on January 7, 2010 | 1 Comment »

OK, this week we have tried to give you some 2010 candy. Some solid ideas for crafting a special year. We focused on being an encourager, not judging others, and living with purpose one day at a time. But all of that feels somewhat empty if there is no Jesus. If we just keep doing whatever it is we have been doing. Without [...]

He Finished the Race

Posted in Death, Faith, Prayer, Servant Leadership, The Joseph Project on December 7, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Last Friday, he went to work. Like he had for over 60 years. Yes, he retired for a year or so. But he went right back to work, believe it or not…driving a school bus early in the morning. All of the drivers started their buses each morning and awaited a quick safety check before departing. After [...]
