Eternity is infinitely more important than world hunger.

January 31, 2008

Eternity matters more than hunger, sex slavery, war victims and AIDS. We should feed mouths, offer freedom and saturate the world with love, but weep if they go to hell. It is absolute hypocrisy to say you love people and not proclaim Jesus to the people who have not heard. It is [...]

too cool for school

January 30, 2008

Last night i had an interesting conversation that left me thinking about important life lessons such as humility and love. I woke up this morning continuing that thought and wondering how many other people in the world have the same perception of me as this person in my conversation .
First, let me [...]

one for one

January 29, 2008

This should be fun to write, because i’m not completely convinced this is such a great idea. But what’s the saying, “man up”? or “pony up”? You’ll see what i mean.
For a few months i have periodically pondered about the cool, yet unnecessary, things that i own. No, this isn’t a post [...]

Writing

January 28, 2008

Ok, let’s be honest or real or down-to-earth. Whatever you call it, we’re gonna be that right now. I’m having a hard time finding things to write about here. I’ve browsed hundreds of blogs and news articles, i’ve read books and had conversations with friends… so why is it so hard for [...]

Bedouins International

January 27, 2008

Lately, i’ve had a lot of conversations with the fine folks at Bedouins International. I’ve been amazed at the favor God has shown this tiny group of talented Jesus-followers. Almost a year ago they witnessed a need at an orphanage in Reynosa, Mexico and today they are a passionate organization committed to reconnecting [...]

Protected

January 24, 2008

I’m in the lobby at Encounter tonight taking a short rest. If you read the post below this one you’ll understand why i feel like i need a rest. But sitting here at the Give Grace table i just happened to look over and see a letter from one of the children we [...]

WHOA!

January 24, 2008

Right now, that’s the only word that comes to mind as i try to sum up the past few days. I’m always looking for some great topic to discuss on my website, but now i realize that i just need to be honest… i’m far too busy to come up with creative and thought-inspiring [...]

30 days

January 21, 2008

What would you do if you had 30 days left? 30 days left with your friends, family, job and life as you know it. You’re not dying, but everything is changing. Your address, your phone number, your roommates, your coworkers, your job and even your country. Nothing will be the same. [...]

Sold

January 20, 2008

I just finished the book, “Sold” by Patricia McCormick. The book was intense, heart-breaking, tragic and even hopeful. It will make you want to do something meaningful to stop the thousands of young girls sold into sex slavery. It will give you authentic insight into how the brothels operate and how the [...]
