So many thoughts run through your head throughout your life. But, one of those “thoughts” (maybe more) are more than thoughts. It becomes a passion, a desire. I have had several “thoughts” coming up through high school and somewhat college. I have had church planting going through my head. I have had pastoring go through [...]

All this talk on healthcare lately has really got me thinking. First off, let me just say, if you know me you know that I used to be (and you might still think I am) very big on politics. But, lately, I’ve just started having an open-mind on things (everything in general, not just politics). [...]

“Better is open rebuke than hidden love.” Proverbs 27:5 (ESV) Rebuke your brothers/sisters in Christ, don’t hold back from saying something they need to hear.

I would like to get people’s comments on this. What do ya think? Should Obama speak to the kids/schools? My opinion, sure he should. He is our president. Now, let’s pray for Obama that he will have the wisdom to say what he needs to say and put politics aside. I’m actually excited about him [...]

“…And that’s when things get messy. When people begin moving beyond charity and toward justice and solidarity with the poor and oppressed, as Jesus did, they get in trouble. Once we are actually friends with the folks in struggle, we start to ask why people are poor, which is never as popular as giving to [...]

“Finish what you start. A leader can’t lead unless he knows where he is going.” – John Locke from Lost I will give some detail for those of you who haven’t watched the show Lost. The main group of people on the island, who are the so-called “leaders” have decided that there probably is not [...]

There are so many tv shows, in so many different genres of television. From action shows like 24, to epic drama shows like Lost, to new shows about making new personalities in people for various jobs like Dollhouse. How do the producers do this?
