  • Do You See What Eye See?

    What do you get out of the following words of Jesus from Matthew 7? 1“Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but…

  • Whatchu Talkin’ ‘Bout Jesus

    When I was a kid I used to walk through woods on my way home from school reading my New Testament and be laughing to myself.  I’d be like, “Jesus, you so crazy,” when I would read things like him telling some Pharisees and scribes that they were, “Blind guides, who strain out a gnat…

  • No Reason to Pray

    Why is it that so many of us pray to God like we’re running for office?  In my opinion the biggest benefit to a relationship with God is that we are supposedly talking to someone who knows everything about us and loves us anyway.  If I have to fake around God like I can trick…

  • Christ Is In the Crisis With Us

    Einstein said, “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them”.  However, most of the time we try to do that very thing.  When I talk to people about my thoughts on Christ, it is generally from the point of view that Christ is an open invitation and access to better thinking about…

  • Bringing Life to Death

    Did you know that we all have the power to raise the dead? Do you doubt it? Well just see what happens the next time you show someone a kindness without thought of reward.  Here’s an example. I take my daughter Calista with me a lot of times when I visit the senior living facilities…

  • Even the Darkness Shines

    Have you ever opened your mouth only to quickly realize that you are choking on your own toes?  Well I did that the other day and it was great.  Obviously it was in retrospect that I realized the greatness that I am talking about–a greatness that only comes with an acceptance of God’s grace.  I…

  • Angels In Distress

    I was blessed to be asked to speak about my experiences and understandings on domestic violence on the Angels in Distress radio show with Janie Deadwyler in Atlanta. Please share and comment.

  • Lasting Happiness – The Greatest Lie Ever Sold

    If you are waiting for the day when you will be “happy” all of the time, I have some news for you.  It is never going to happen.  I know that many people don’t like to hear this.  They want to believe that if they could just get in the right situation they can “get…

  • Originally posted on It's All In Me – Poetry Blog: One With You They say we’re separate and unequal But I see You watching me And you see me watching You as well Just as it should be They tell me something’s missing But everything lives inside of You And because I know Your Home…

  • What Is God Doing?

    My kid and I were in the car one day just chatting about one thing or the other when all of a sudden and totally out of context she asked, “What is God doing?”  My response was immediate and to the point.  It came from an unlearned knowing that was as natural to my mind…
