  • A Thief and a Liar (Shine)

    Is there anything in your life that you would give absolutely everything to?  Can you even imagine such a thing?  There used to be a time when I felt like I could absolutely give myself to whatever I set my heart to.  My heart was disciplined to Love and my belief was that I had…

  • In It, Not Of It

    Every once in a while I get this feeling that comes over me where I feel like I just want to quit trying to live my ideal.  I start thinking about how much love is in my heart and how difficult it has been for me to find an expression that translates universally and it hurts. …

  • “I” Does Not Exist

    Recently, I have had more than one person express to me that they were uncertain of their own existence.  There is a 40 year age gap between the youngest and the oldest person, so I can only assume that this idea is something that more people  are contemplating .  Since being asked the question, I…

  • Road Trip With God, DMX, and 23 Bottles of Water – Full Circle

    There’s no way I can completely explain to someone who is “uninitiated”, the things that were ministered to me for the next 19 hours because as it says in 1 Corinthians 2, “ Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” …

  • Road Trip with God, DMX, and 23 Bottles of Water, Part 3

    Do you remember that part in The Matrix where Neo had to choose between the red pill or the blue pill?  Well that was where I was in that hotel in the middle of nowhere–both figuratively and actually.  I had to make a choice on whether I wanted to sleep or stay awake.  While driving…

  • Sometimes Words Aren’t Enough

    Ever since we returned from Hawaii, I have been trying to put our experience into the perfect words for this blog.  After struggling for weeks, I finally surrendered to the fact that I can’t and embraced that I’ll just have to do the best that I can.  Words are funny things.  They can be used…

  • Live Free or Die

    I’m convinced that whenever we ask questions from the depths of our soul, our lives become about trying to find the answers. For some people it might be something simple like “what career will I have when I get older?” Those people will probably work and work until they find what fits them. Then they…

  • God’s Love Is Not Human

    When taping a local spiritually focused TV show, the host asked me what The Roofless Church was all about.  My first response was that it was my opportunity to give.  The second thing that came up was that a church with no roof symbolizes the idea that God cannot be confined to a building or box like…

  • Overcoming Gravity

    Every morning that I don’t have to go to work I go through a battle with gravity.  With no alarm and no justification for getting out of the bed, I find myself struggling to get up.  It’s always the same thing. First I wake up and notice that it’s somewhere between 5:30 and 6:30 AM.…

  • What Would Pedro Do?

    On the steering wheel of my truck there is a cover with the letters WWJD on it.  As most of you know, that stands for “What Would Jesus Do?”.  For a long time you could find all sorts of  new WWJD merchandise everywhere.  Maybe it was because some people thought the world was about to end and…
