Reading the introduction and already shook up…

Just started reading a book this morning called “Primal” by Mark Batterson, the Lead Pastor at National Community Church in Washington DC. Just wanted to throw you some quotes and confess that  I’m not even done with the introduction and it’s already challenging me and kickin’ my tail. Just sayin’…

Awesome and Amazing Creator

So here is what I thought I had kinda figured out this morning as I began reading in Genesis 1 this morning. Verse 2 says: “The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.” I [...]

What I have learned…

It’s been a little over a year since I have been back in Southwest Missouri area, and I have learned how selfish I really am. It’s crazy when you realize that EVERYONE has a soul. I know that sounds weird, but think about it. Everywhere we go, there are souls all around us. Here are [...]

Cushioned and Candy-coated

I have 3 things running around in my head: 1. I just read John 6 a week or so ago about when people saw the real cost of following Christ and stopped following Him. Which is weird because if we walk away from Christ then where are we heading? 2. Francis Chan talked about Matthew [...]

Renew them in our day!

Habakuk 3:2 LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, O LORD. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy. Commentary about verses 1-2: This chapter is entitled a prayer of Habakkuk. It is a meditation with himself, an intercession for the [...]

Something that shook me up…

Was drawn to the book of Amos the other day because of a message I was listening to. This section of scripture tore me up: Amos 5:21-24 21 “I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies. 22 Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings, [...]
