So, it was pointed out by my friend Zach that I haven’t posted anything in over two weeks. His blog was zachfretz.wordpress.com… the page says deleted by user. Yes, I’m throwing him under the bus for throwing me under it too. Misery loves company. Here’s the story: Technology is supposed to help not hinder. Well, […]

BUSY TIME//
There are a couple of times a year that are CRAZY busy for those of us whose occupation entails church work. Church work is a weird term… really we all do church work if we say we believe and have faith. Belief is a weird thing. We all believe in something… even Atheists believe that […]
Read MoreI NEEDED THIS TODAY//+Fact
The last 2 weeks have been particularly difficult for me & Angie. It’s not what you think. We’re not having issues with each other at all. In fact, we’ve grown closer in the last year to each other and to GOD (individually and together) than we’ve even been. But, last week started with us both being […]
Read MoreBEST MOVIE OF 1996//
I know, I know… I’m talking about movies that are 14 years old. Do you even remember what movies came out in ’96? Let me refresh your memories. Black Sheep Bevis & Butthead: Do America The Cable Guy D3: The Mighty Ducks Evita Flipper Fargo Independence Day And, lastly (but of course not the least) […]
Read MoreREFLECTIONS//
It’s no hidden fact that I love my son. The doctor told me yesterday that she “loves seeing dads treat their kids that way” (the way I was being so affectionate to my sick son). GREAT! They notice! I thought. Maybe I AM qualified for this job (which no one truly is). So, if I […]
Read MoreCAN’T WE JUST GET OVER OURSELVES?//
I just lost about an hour and a half of my life that I will never get back. (Enter Doc Brown from a frozen/smoking/tred burning Delorian)… I got sucked into reading a series of blog posts and the ensuing comments from someone who thinks he has something to say about Christianity. Let’s be honest. That’s […]
Read MorePOWERFUL STORIES//
I love stories. I think you can’t really know a person without knowing their stories. I have a story. I tell it every time I write here. You have a story. Every time you read mine you chose if you make it part of yours. That means that WE have stories. These are two good […]
Read MoreCREATIVITY… WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL?
So, I sat this morning in a “finding your sweet spot in ministry” seminar hosted by a friend of a friend. Biggest thing I took out of it: I’m in my sweet spot. In fact, I’m about as dead centered in it as I think I could possibly be. Sometimes I joke with one of […]
Read MoreWHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE, ROB BELL, & MY OWN BROKEN SOUL//
About 3.5 hours ago, Angie and I walked out of the movie theater having just seen Where the Wild Things Are. For some reason, maybe because it’s the story of a little boy’s wild imagination, I connect with this story. He gets in trouble, is sent to bed without his supper (a horror that no […]
Read MoreLIKE FATHER. like son. //
There’s a beautiful spiritual connection between fathers and son. Every son, whose dad is around, wants to be like his dad some how. I did. My dad was a cop. He stood for what was right. He was honest. He had guns. He hunted. He was handy. He was a manly man. I still want […]
