For the past couple of weeks I have been battling depression. The funny thing is there is nothing wrong (well at least not on the mega scale.) Maybe I am just dealing with getting older. I don’t seem to have as much pep in the step as my grandmother used to say. And [...]

I had an interesting conversation this week with a really good friend. Let me give you a little backdrop to the conversation: Our church is in a 50-day growth campaign called Draw Near. It is geared to encourage parishioners to spend an extended time period focusing on their own personal spiritual growth. The [...]

The last couple of posts I’ve been writing about lessons learned from the book of James. This small book could be billed as “How to Live Out your Christian Faith.” It’s full of everyday, practical lessons like, “Don’t just read the bible do what it says” and “Anyone who knows the good he [...]
