Dear Christian, Don’t Do Your Best 17 Jan 2013 | 04:19 pm
I have a motto in life. It will sound strange and controversial. The motto is: >Don’t do your best. I know! Right? The reality is, sometimes trying your best isn’t good enough. You know the scenario. ...
Dear Christian, Don’t Be A ‘Mature’ Christian 29 Nov 2012 | 05:36 pm
I’m gonna say something that may rub some the wrong way. It’s not necessarily positive or motivational at first read. Too bad. It’s necessary. I’ve been part of a lot of small group environments, and,...
Dear Christian, Be A Servant 8 Nov 2012 | 03:29 pm
When I was getting my theology degree my studies had a pastoral emphasis. Among others, I had to read a book about servanthood. It had a cover of a guy in a tuxedo holding a plunger. I thought it was ...

Aspire To Be More Than You Are 27 Sep 2012 | 03:27 pm
The nerd alert is about to go off big time. One of favorite Star Trek characters is Data. If you don’t know, he is a synthetic life form—a robot. (What can I say, I love science fiction.) Anyway, Data...
The Danger Of Anger 20 Sep 2012 | 03:27 pm
I get angry. From a very young age, I have a life that has always been surrounded by tension. Frustration is fused in my DNA. I’m not like a lot of people. I don’t think all anger is bad. >I have alwa...
Sometimes I Hate Remembering 11 Sep 2012 | 03:15 pm
I didn’t want to do this for several reasons. Mainly, because I thought everyone else would. But then I realized they probably wouldn’t. When something big, emotional, and traumatic crosses our paths,...
No, All Sins Are NOT Equal Or The Same 30 Aug 2012 | 03:19 pm
