In one game in high school an all-star quarterback threw for 354 yards and four touchdowns. (Wow.) When he was able to talk to his father about it, his dad said, “And if you didn’t miss seeing that receiver wide open in the end zone you could have had a fifth touchdown.” The young man […]

This Dark Presence
January 5, 2011 by
I wasn’t a Christian. Oh, but I still worshiped a god. It was the god of music and drugs and whatever else a young person fills the emptiness of his soul with after high school. I had decided to visit the record store one Friday afternoon. (They were “records” back then.) A famous singer was […]
Twitter “Crushes”
January 3, 2011 by
Do you remember in school the “fascination” a classmate would have with a certain teacher? We called them “crushes.” Right? They were an attachment, a connection (emotionally) to the instructor in the mind of a student – and for whatever reason. The instructor smiled, gave praise, paid extra attention (it may not have been extra, […]

When you’re driving in traffic, eyes on Jesus. When you’re at the office (or school), eyes on Jesus. When everything you’re touching […]
The “Why?” Question
December 28, 2010 by
Have you ever asked, “Why?” Of course, you have. I’m asking it now in my own life. I’m asking it about a certain particular area. (What’s yours?) “Why, Lord?” We ask it about ourselves. “Why, God?” We ask it on behalf of others. “Why?” (Pause) Why did it have to happen? Why didn’t it work […]
The Parable of the Ruinous Ruler
December 25, 2010 by
He came to power. He had offered the crowds good things. He was self-consumed. He smiled. He laughed. He was a nice guy. He was lawless. He said things were getting better. (They were getting worse.) He said things were looking up. (They were going down.) He wasn’t telling the truth. He cared for the […]
Favored One
December 24, 2010 by
“And coming in, he (Gabriel) said to her, ‘Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you. Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus.’” (Luke 1:28, 30-31) Favor with God. I guess another […]
