From Exile to Restoration
There comes a time in the life of most leaders when you feel like you are in exile. People don’t understand you. You feel like you are in the wrong place and the wrong time. The exiled soul longs for divine restoration.
We desire to restore a church to true worship, triumphing over senseless controversies regarding instruments, style and context that so often bring bondage to a...
I Need You More: Prayer intro to the Song
Lord, knowing that you have good gifts that will carry us through every challenge we have as believers, reminds us how much we need you. I’m tired of trying to do things in my own strength. It’s futile. Every aspect of my life says, “I need you more” I need more of your power, I need more of your grace. And I boldly say whatever it is you have for me, I want it. And I don’t care what it...

The Chihuahua version of the Book of Judges
Monday: My master keeps me inside a fence. He’s so limiting. There are lots of other dogs I’d love to meet, there’s a whole world I could conquer by myself. I’m sure there’s better food out there. I’ve smelled the deliciousness of the garbage from our neighbors yard. There’s SO MUCH TO SMELL OUR THERE!! But I hate this fence. Maybe if I bark all night and chew up his lawn chairs, he’ll let...

Today's Humor: Battle of Wits and Dog Update
Our new Dog is Arthor. Golden Retriever. Very smart. Just a delightful dog. He hasn’t barked once and he loves the basement. The only problem so far is I haven’t seen him poop! Maybe he’s shy. I search the basement for a long time and I don’t see or smell anything. Hopefully we’ll solve the mystery today. I love this video. Made me smile this morning ...

beginning my trip...
hopefully tomorrow… to Louisiana. I’m planning on getting the car tuned up before I go. I don’t know what tomorrow will hold- timing wise. I all depends on the tuning. Nathan got a guitar. Nathan and I will listen to the book “9 things You Simply Must Do.” Posted via email from Day by Day (3 Things) | Comment »

The Christmas Bells
Christmas bells are solemn, still
Resting in the father’s will
Then rings the chorus strong and true
Of all that Christ would suffer through
The echoes of a silent night
Remind us of angelic flight
And when they echo down to earth
Underscoring Jesus’ birth,
we also hear a darker tone
When Jesus suffered all alone.
Mocked and broken, disciples fled
The holy blood on wood was shed
...

Change
There are some who prefer their comfortable pew Their ruts of worship and their old habits too Some won’t carry the cross of our king More concerned about comfort and the songs that we sing. Some are lost in a maze of struggle for power While the millions untold face this final hour. Some cling to the past and refuse to obey They’ll never agree no matter what you will say. They refuse...

Finished the Script's first draft
Lord, thank you for a productive day despite all the weird and scary things I’m facing tonight. I hope I can get some sleep. Worked out just now and I’ve got an early flight.
One of the things I've learned to do
is to say goodbye. I’ve seen many church members leave. It never gets easier…
They are calling for our flight
The plane is here early so I probably won’t get to finish downloading a show for the flight.
psychosis of sanity
Slow down the force of the outside mean
Swim forward even when the tide is high and the depth
Of onsets and downgrades demoralize you among the undertow
We are so far away from the finish
So compelled to continue and yet wondering
Wondering
Wondering
If there will ever be a time when all questions would be answered
All wrongs will be righted
All passions ignited
You doubt Him and yet in the...
furthermore we love the chance
furthermore we love the chance of turpentine and awkward glance We’ll never know the how or why the times of birth and death comply the will of God the will of man the turbulence of circumstance the wisp of wind and gust of grit par amore and empire split before the dawn of consequence all credited to her expense.
Morning Prayer
God open our heart to Your Word. We confess that many times we are distracted by the carnival of pleasure, wealth, and amusement. Jesus Christ son of God- deliver us. Deliver us from our self-saving tendencies, the lies that tell us that we are all alone on this journey. Speak truth into the desert places. Those dry and empty places that cause us to doubt your love and care for us. Some of us...
I hate still being awake on a Saturday Night
I hope I can be alert tomorrow. LSU football affects my sleep.
Busy weekend
Starting tomorrow I will be having a very busy stretch. Preaching at church and then NHC, visitation for Nell Fly, article writing, Sunday mighty vespers, funeral and graveside.
