Catalyst… I was there! Catalyst… It’s still bugging me! Catalyst… I can either run to the Truth and embrace it… or I can run from it. From all indications there is no running from it. Total surrender is the only acceptable response. God is on every street corner. He is in the midst of every [...]

Unfinished Business
Posted: October 15, 2008 in Catalyst, Faith, Family, Focus, Forgiveness, Future, Polling, Polls, Random Thoughts, Silence, SurrenderDuring the lunch break on Thursday I was standing there and Tim said something to me like this, “Are you OK? You look like you are in deep thought or something is bothering you…” I was OK. I think I was stunned after that first message. Andy Stanley talked about 3 specific things and how [...]
Praying with the right heart
Posted: August 24, 2008 in Faith, Obedience, Prayer, Silence, Trials and TestingI wonder how many hours of prayer has been spent wasted because my heart was not right. But I argue what I am praying for is good… great… with great purpose for God and others. But silence is all that is heard. In my mind, God is witholding the answer(s) or perceived blessing(s). All the while, I am ignoring this [...]
Being… That’s where I want to be. I want to be in the Lord’s presence and get lost in Him. It’s in the mid to upper 90′s here. My air conditioner in my Jeep still doesn’t work. So where did I spend my lunch hour? I spent it in the park today. I know this [...]
I’m having surgery on my heart… not physically but rather spiritually. How does one know if one is living in the sin of “unbelief”? “He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief” ( Matthew 13:58 ). If Jesus could not do miracles in the presence of those with unbelief… Is this why we do not [...]
I haven’t been sleeping too good lately. I don’t have problems getting to sleep. But at the strike of 3AM I wake up. So what do I do at 3 AM? I walk around a bit… typically eating something. Last night I watched FOX News as I ate raw chocolate chip cookie dough with a cold glass [...]
I admire anyone who steps up to the plate of faith and LIVES it OUT LOUD. Today, I have been thinking about the trouble that is often times associated with faith-filled living. Each one of us has “our” cross to carry. Sometimes the silence experienced in life is a welcomed retreat… the kind I am [...]
Has God spoken to you? Seriously, has God spoken to you about what you are doing today? Are you a believer, brother, and follower of Christ? If so, I would bet what you are doing in your life is in direct response to God speaking to you. 2 Chronicles 16:9, “For the eyes of the [...]
I am looking forward to the next early morning rendezvous with God on my front porch. It’s a great time of being quiet and hearing the silence. It is through these quiet times I want to get to know God. If I’m not careful seeking silence can take precedence over seeking God. If this becomes my [...]
Boy, all I want to hear right now is silence. Wouldn’t that be nice? Don’t you wish at some times in life you could just automatically be transported to (Fill in the blank) ? Some place that is peaceful… no cell phones, computers, TV, cars, or schedules. Some place where you could just be quiet [...]
