I was twelve going on thirteen. It was the night of the Little League draft. And all I can remember is how bad I wanted to get on the Padres baseball team. Anything less would just not do. Anything less would be a heartbreak. But I really didn’t have much of a chance (in my […]
God Rejoices Over Us
January 11, 2011 by
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 […]

December 31, 2010 by
I’ve grouped together some of my best blog posts (in my mind) from the past year below. They are framed in how they were tweeted on Twitter. You will learn a lot about me by reading each of these (if you don’t know me already). You will get a good idea of how I write […]
Eyes On Jesus (An Ode)
December 29, 2010 by
When you’re waking up in the morning, eyes on Jesus. When you’re getting dressed, eyes on Jesus. When you’re eating breakfast, eyes on Jesus. When you’re heading out the door, eyes on Jesus. 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 […]

Make Believe Santa
December 20, 2010 by
When I was a kid I used to play Cowboys and Indians with my brother and sister. (I know that’s not politically correct, but it’s a fact.) There was an element of truth in the history of the “Cowboys and Indians” for sure, but we were only pretending. It was like we were in the […]
There Was No Room?
December 16, 2010 by
“There was no room for them in the inn.” (Luke 2:7d) There was no room? There was no room for Joseph? There was no room for Mary? There was no room for the plan of redemption (the saving of people from their sins)? There was no room for God?! (Selah~pause to reflect) And the Christ […]
