I have a funny kid.
A few weeks ago I was singing in the car as I was taking Jeremy to school. Jeremy pleaded with me to stop. I asked him why he hated to hear me sing. He told me that I had a terrible voice. From there the conversation went like this.
“Jeremy, I have […]

Have you ever gone through a period of time where it felt like you were getting fired at from every corner? It’s at these times when we hear the bullets from the Dark One whiz by our heads that our tendency is to duck and cover.
That’s exactly what we shouldn’t do. Instead we should armor […]

I got up early this morning to go do a little writing and was shocked to see that it’s snowing pretty hard! Probably four inches has fallen so far. It shows no signs of abating. Most of this week I’ve been up here in Breckenridge trying to finish a book that is under strict deadline. […]

Please pray for me as I start working on another book project this week. Actually, I’ve worked on this particular one off and on over the last few years. I made the decision last night to scrap it all and start over from scratch.

I read a blog post written by a friend of mine on Saturday. He highly recommended the movie Iron Man so I went to see it yesterday.
Wow. What a crazy thrill ride of a movie.

This year the gathering is in Norfolk, Virginia at a place called The Founder’s Inn. Pray that it is a profitable time of ministry encouragement and exchange.

Years ago at a zoo in my home state of Colorado I pulled the tail of a large, male lion. His furry, gently swinging appendage was sticking through the bars as he slept. It’s almost as though it was whispering to me, “Hey Greg, grab me and see what happens. Come on dude it will […]

I had the privilege of seeing the movie Expelled: No intelligence allowed in a pre-screening a few weeks ago and I’m thrilled that I did. It was a funny, thought provoking, dangerous, serious, engaging (and did I mention “funny”?) documentary. I have been a fan of Ben Stein since his “Bueller, Bueller” days, but now […]
