I’m not the biggest proponent of the book the “5 Love Languages.” Proponent meaning, I don’t think it’s the “be all, end all” of relationship/communication understandings. I do, however, think it’s helpful to know how you perceive love. Most people connect with all of these on some level, but have 2 that tend to stand […]

CAN’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 MoreFILL IN THE BLANK: “I’M THAT GUY WHO ___________________________________.”
Fill in the blank… ABOUT YOURSELF! NOT ABOUT ME. I’ll start… “I’m that guy who…” … tends to think too highly of himself as a way to overcompensate for his own insecurities. … always tries to work the angle. … dreams and then doesn’t know how to get there. … needs more help than I’ll […]
Read MoreTHE ART OF CHANGE//
So, we entered a new phase in life last week. Isaac started rolling over last week. He was starting to make us nervous not showing much interest in it all then someone flipped a switch and he’s everywhere now. Literally over night he figured out all directions: left & right, front to back, back to […]
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 MoreBEST BURGER EVER
A little more than six years ago the guys that stood up with me in our wedding and our dads all sat at this same restaurant and had the best burgers EVER. And, now we’re back. We don’t come here often, but when we do, I always leave happy! GOD bless Alfie’s!

It’s no secret that I like change. I LOVE progress. I hate sitting still. I can’t stand being in the same place for too long. So, we’re making a few changes in my little corner of the world wide web. Welcome to the newly domained frombehindtheglasses.com. I know it doesn’t look all that different, but […]
Read MoreNARCISSISM IN WORSHIP//
A friend recently sent me this article. In it speaker, author, writer, youth pastor Walt Mueller speaks of hearing Dr. Phil live in Philly speak on how our culture has created a narcissistic youth culture. Here’s his thesis: “Without ever saying the word, Dr. Phil kept pointing the conversation back to ‘narcissism’ and the behaviors […]
Read MoreI READ SOMETHING YESTERDAY…
So, I’m not a big reader. Anyone that knows me knows that reading for me stops at music & art magazines with the occasional comic book. I’ve been reading a lot of blogs recently… just about anything thought provoking, and one struck me yesterday… It said: “People will never respect you for what you are […]
