Friday night, it was time for Miranda and I to get Kasen ready for bed. We hadn’t begun our routine yet, but clearly he was getting sleepy. Our routine includes singing “Jesus Loves Me,” and then folding our hands to pray together, kisses for everyone, and then “Night-Night.” Anyway, I think he was ready before…

Jesus in the Passover – Maundy Thursday
I had the pleasure of leading our congregation through a Seder/Passover meal a couple of years ago. I put together a little booklet called a “Haggadah“ to explain the symbolism behind each element of the meal. I made the booklet into a slide show for anyone interested. I’d encourage everyone to step through it and…
RePost: Tyranny of the Urgent
photo credit: Pulpolux !!! I posted this one other time back in 2007, but was struggling with some of the same issues today. I thought it was worth reposting: Charles E. Hummel writes, “We live in a constant tension between the urgent and the important.” He talks about a cottonmill manager who said, “Your greatest…
Precious Cargo
Here are a couple of pics I had to post. I guess it’s that proud father thing coming out of me.
Bluebonnets
One of the women in the office (Ginger) has some bluebonnets in her backyard and she invited us over to take a few pics. Here’s what we ended up with. (Click on the first one and then you can flip through them all.) . . . . . . . . . . . ….
iTunes Free Download
April Fools – this download is real, but it’s 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence. John Cage’s 4’33” may be the best song I’ve ever heard! and you can download it from iTunes here for free. Everyone should give it a listen – see what you think. . . . .
Think Different
Thought I’d post this apple advertisement ’cause to me it’s all about leadership. I am crazy enough to think God can use me to change the world.
Christian Parenting Statistics
Check out this article from Ed Stetzer’s blog. It describes some pretty interesting research on the state of affairs for most Christian parents today. What does it mean when less than 10% of Christian parents think that “being Godly” or “having faith” is one of the marks of parental success? That means that over 90%…
ERs, Fearful Prayer, and Kesleigh
I’ve been learning a few things over the past couple of days. We had to bring Kesleigh, our 4 week old baby girl, into Houston to the Texas Children’s Hospital last night. She’s was already on antibiotics and was running a fever of 101.5. By the time we got to the hospital, it was 103.1….
Tents & a 1½-Yr-Old
OK – he’s only 16 months, but close enough. Kasen loves tents! When we go to the Bass Pro Shop, one of his favorite things to do is to run in and out of all the display tents. Our small group went camping at Brazos Bend this week for Spring Break so Kasen and I…
