Rantings of a Pastor/Gamer/Historian/Geek
“I’m sorry, we’re currently experiencing a techincal problem in your service area.” That’s what the customer service for my local cable company told me today on the phone. Since about Thursday night I’ve had a failing, and now no, internet connection. :( So, let’s recap: No car, and no inernet. The only connection I have with the […]
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who made my birthday a great day, even though my car’s dead and we don’t have any money :P Friends are much better than money. (Well, I guess that totally depends on how much money we’re talking about…) We discovered last night that my car won’t be ready […]
*Note* This post is the first in my new category of: What the Church Can Learn From… in which I’ll talk about what the church can learn from…interesting places. This particular post may have more appeal to you if you are of an Emergent Church persuasion. While I am not, I don’t think of the […]
Sunday while I was driving home from church, my car’s water broke. Well, the water pump at least. We have to buy a new water pump and timing belt before we can drive it again. Fortunately, my dad can do the repairs, so we only have to pay for parts; unfortunately, those parts are going […]
In their podcast series entitled Practically Speaking, Andy Stanley and the leadership team at North Point Church near Atlanta Ga, give a lot of great advice. (Which is surprising since they pastor such a small church :P) While you could write an entire book on the stuff they talk about, why don’t you call it […]
As some of you may remember, I used to work out in the wee early hours of the morning with a friend. Sadly, I had to change gyms, and couldn’t work out with him anymore. But, I talked to him yesterday, and he’s finally seen the light and joined the gym James, Josh and I […]
Most of us in the church world are familiar with the phrase: “But we’ve never done it that way before” or some variation of it. I just thought I’d like to point out that people who bank here at the credit union express almost the exact same emotion. I’ll put up a post dedicated to […]
If any of you guys (or gals) work in an office, then you may be on a “Verse of the Day” email list. I am on one such list at the credit union, and the other day, this was the message I received. I thought it was quite funny and worth sharing.
From the NLT:
Romans 8:38 […]
Last night I had a great reminder that I’m still a Christ follower and haven’t gotten there yet. A few posts ago, I talked about how my wife is going back to school now. Well, since it’s a summer session, every day is equal a week in class. What does that mean? It means that assignments are […]
It’s hard to believe it, but my 100th post is already upon us. We’ve had some good times, shared some laughs, some tears and some “what was he thinking” moments. Ah, the memories. To commemorate this monumental occasion, I’ve asked James to assemble what he feels are my best five posts. So, here goes nothing:
