Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
I remember when I first met Barrett Keene.
It was May 2002. (UG. That was nearly 10 years ago. HOW did we get this old?) I had just finished my sophomore year of high school My friend Melissa and I were sitting in McCain Auditorium in Manhattan, Kansas at State FFA convention. Some dude poked his head into our row and started a conversation. [Read more…]
Some people say that money talks.
I have to say that I sort of agree.
Sometimes our money says “Hold me tighter!” Other times, it says “Me, me, me, it’s all about me.” Sometimes it sounds like the old NSync song… “Bye, bye, bye.”
But last Thursday, our little wad of money said “God is love. Give me away.” [Read more…]
Hey you. Yeah… you.
Wanna know a secret? C’mere. Lean in close…
Ready? I have a tattoo.
Oh. Are you not impressed? Dang. If you knew how much I hated needles, you should be blown away by this statement. But honestly, it isn’t much a of a secret. After all… the foot-tattoo story made it into my engagement pictures, the wedding ceremony and even into a class I was presenting about spiritual gifts a couple of weeks ago. (Glad my boss didn’t fire me for that one.) [Read more…]
My iPad is the bomb diggity. (Yes, I’m bringing that phrase back. Excited for it to catch on.)
Honestly, I probably don’t use my trusty iPad to the extreme that some hardcore Appladdicts do. (That’s my new name for people who love Apple products.) But I L-O-V-E the convenience and entertainment it brings to my life. Plus, it was a gift, so that’s a total bonus.
Last week, I volunteered to do our devotional for Staff Meeting at the church where I work. And while it was initially unexpected, I managed to integrate some iPad art into the heart message. Here’s how things went down… [Read more…]
Some people might say I am little bit crazy.
Nuts. Loco. Bonkers. Ridic.
And I have to say in some regards, I kind of agree with them. After all…
Sometimes we just need to be comforted.
I am not talking about the big life comfort-requirements such as dealing with grief or loss or tragedy. I am talking about everyday comforts.
Comfort can come in many forms… Mine can usually include food, prayer and sometimes both. [Read more…]
I have a confession to make. Sometimes I feel like my faith is flakier than a box of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes.
I would love to say that I am strong pillar of faith, unshakable, undoubting at all times. But then that would be a lie. And last I checked, lying is a sin. True, I never lose faith that God exists, but sometimes I forget (doubt? worry about?) HIS faithfulness and sovereignty. Just last week during my morning quiet time at the kitchen table, I was studying Romans 4 where it was discussing Abraham’s faith and salvation through righteousness, not works. Before I could stop myself, I was praying for God to give me faith like Abraham. [Read more…]
