  • There Are Two Ways To Burn Your Candle

    There are two ways to burn a candle. Americans are strange.  Despite our relative prosperity, we are one of the most emotionally depressed cultures on the planet.  It’s been said that one of the main causes for our mental state is that we try to cram more activities into a 24 hour day than what…

  • Being “Normal” Versus Being Natural

    All my life I have struggled with being “normal”.  No, you wouldn’t find me with my Fruit o’ the Looms on my head singing Girls Just Wanna Have Fun or anything like that.  I just rarely did what I was expected to do.  Expectations indicate having some preconceived notion of how events should unfold in some future…

  • How To Glow In the Dark

    It’s creeping on 6AM on Sunday morning.  I was hoping that I’d still be sleep until at least 8:30 AM or whenever Calista gets up because I haven’t had much sleep in the past few days.  But nature and a flip in my stomach has me up.  I need to write.  This morning I need…

  • Facing My DEMONs

    Ever since becoming vocal about my ministry I’ve been coming face to face with my prior acts of denial.  Some people may call it the skeletons coming out of the closet or facing your demons.  I chose to use the term facing my demons specifically because it allowed me to come up with this nifty…

  • You Are Not Your Thoughts

    I’m fat.  I’m skinny.  I’m pretty.  I’m ugly.  I’m in style. I’m out of style.  No one is looking at me.  Everyone is looking at me.  I’m special.  I’m just like everyone else. I’m popular.  I’m unpopular. And the list goes on and on. In fact, it’s been said that the average human brain processes…

  • Some People Need Professional Help

    I hope that after reading this post I will be able to save some of you a big chunk of time in your life.  The time I am talking about comes from the time we spend trying to help people that just won’t take it.  I think that’s what Jesus was talking about when he was…

  • Life Is Who You Are, Not What You Do

    How often have you heard the question, “So what do you do?”, when meeting people for the first time?  How often do you ask that question yourself? And how would you feel if your answer was, “Oh, nothing right now. I was laid off.”?  The fact is you probably would never say that.  Even if you…

  • The End’s Beginning

    I wish that it didn’t take something like my dad’s passing to light the fire under my butt to start a blog, but I guess that’s the human way.  This blog was a long time coming and The Roofless Church is way overdue.  Before getting in too deep, I’ll explain the idea behind The Roofless Church. …
