Read Morethat you love one another
I was in Kenya when it first hit me. I should have picked up on it WAY before this, but I had some interactions with a few of my “business school” students that made me rethink why I was there. Let me step back for a moment first. You need to understand something about me. I was becoming extremely active in ministry at the church, because that’s what it means to be a serious Christian,...

Read Moreon distraction {and why it may be your best friend}
Lately, distraction is my closest companion. I sit down to look up an address on-line and before you know it, I’ve read three blog posts, checked my email, responded to a Facebook message and updated my status three times. When I get up, walk into the kitchen to pour myself a third cup of tea, I realize that I have forgotten to look up the address. So I start over. The pen and letter still lay on the...

Read Morespeak life
I was tired. Worn out. All I could think about was the minutes (or hours) counting down until I would be fast asleep in the comfort of my own bed. You have to understand, I had just spent the last few days at a retreat where I was one of only five guys in attendance. I was there as a panel speaker, an event sponsor, and to serve a friend who was fulfilling her dream to encourage others to pursue their...

Read Morethe whisper that changed my life
I woke up feeling the cool breeze of the Guatemalan morning. It was refreshing as my heart had been wrecked beyond what I could imagine the days previous. Walking around the Guatemala City Dump community the previous day had left me feeling overwhelmed. My mind continually thought What are you doing here? This is too much. You can not make a difference. One person can not influence this much poverty. I...

Read Morehow to serve others after tragedy
The mail came Tuesday. I’m not sure why it surprised me, but it did. I’m always shocked when the mail arrives after a tragedy. I want it to stop. Maybe as an act of reverence. Maybe because I want more time to mourn. The mail reminds me life moves fast, too fast. I know as months pass other horrific stories will become newsworthy, and even if we swear we will not forget, we do. I lived in...

Read Morewhile we were still sinners
Weak. Ungodly. Sinner. That’s exactly what I once was. (And sometimes still am.) But thankfully, God had a different plan for me. He wasn’t accepting of those labels which I and other people put on me. Paul writes in his letter to the Romans, For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good...
