Rantings of a Jesus-loving, raving lunatic
It’s worth it.
It’s worth the pain and strain.
It’s worth the small paychecks and big problems.
It’s worth the sideways glances from charter members with an agenda.
It’s worth the stains in the carpets from last night’s pizza party.
It’s worth the frustration of feeling that somehow it’s not all worth it.
It is.
Remember the youth leader Elijah?
He had a […]
This weekend I preached at my final Promise Keeper’s event of the season. It was in Colorado Springs (about an hour and fifteen minute drive from my casa.) On one hand preaching at the likes of PK is a pretty intimidating gig. Going after the likes of Bob Reccord (eloquent), Bishop Garlington (brilliant) and Stu […]
Okay so I was in a Starbuck’s a few days ago. I ordered my Venti Coffee of the Day with Sugar Free Vanilla and waited (they had to brew a fresh batch.) Not being one to just stand around, I grabbed my phone and started dialing. For the next few minutes I chatted away with […]
Check out I Chronicles 11 and you will read about David’s 30 mighty warriors. These guys were a little crazy (okay, they were a lot crazy) and were willing to do anything to support David in his God given quest to rule a nation. I love the way Scripture puts it, "These were the chiefs […]
Yesterday was my little boy’s first day of Kindergarten. It was bittersweet to see him sitting in his little chair taking in his big surroundings. I get nervous when it comes to Jeremy. Although he loves to learn and is a very sweet spirited little boy, he is the same kid who pulled a fire […]
Revolution: “A sudden or momentous change in a situation; to overthrow the current system for something radical and fresh”
Youth ministry needs a revolution. It needs to be overthrown, retooled and reborn. The majority of what passes as youth ministry is organized babysitting: songs, games, a short devo and pizza afterward…yippee! Mark Senter III wrote […]
Today is my sixteen year wedding anniversary.
I can ‘t believe the gift that God has given me of my wife. She is the perfect blend of sugar and spice, tailor made for yours truly.
Debbie is a person who genuinely and deeply loves others. She loves her children, her husband, her parents, her friends and the […]
I had an awkward moment on Sunday. My wife was at her grandmother’s house cleaning and I was at the grocery store with my five year old boy Jeremy and my just-about-to-be two year old girl, Kailey. We were doing a quick restock of food essentials and were making pretty good time in our quest […]
Faith is how we applaud God.
Hebrews 11:6 tells us that "without faith it is impossible to please God." That must mean that with faith it is impossible not to please God.
When we believe in our Daddy it must bring a smile to his face. There’s something about a child who really believes in his Daddy […]
Every year for the last several years we at Dare 2 Share Ministries gird up for war. It seems as though Satan turns up the heat even more before we launch a conference tour. During this intense conflict we endure financial challenges, personal challenges, program challenges, marketing challenges and administrative challenges. We have come to […]
