A friend of mine, who is very techno-savvy and is becoming quite the online missionary, started a Facebook discussion this week in preparation for our Sunday sermon. Her question was: Have you ever been “judged” by someone? When or how is it wrong to judge? Over the past few days, there have been a few… Continue reading You be the judge…or not

DATELINE: Gulu, Uganda. 10:15 P.M. Gulu time. That’s 2:15 P.M. for those of you keeping score at home. WORSHIP What a day! What an amazing, incredible, glorious day! A day filled with the joy of the Lord and His incredible presence here with us!
Into Africa, Part Deaux: Day 1
Note: These blog entries are taken directly from my journaling over the past two weeks. I have backdated them to reflect the actual dates and times of my writing. And I promise to do a better job of blogging this trip than the one I took in November. Who knows, I might even write about… Continue reading Into Africa, Part Deaux: Day 1
Havin’ a BLAST! (Galactic Blast, that is)
This week was VBS at McKinney Fellowship. Our theme for the week – in case you hadn’t already guessed – was Cokesbury’s Galactic Blast, a week of learning about the universe, the cosmos, and the God who created and rules over all of it. As you might suspect, I was privileged to be on the… Continue reading Havin’ a BLAST! (Galactic Blast, that is)
Pink vs. Blue
“Women are pink. Men are blue.” “We’re not wrong, just different.” “You’re stepping on my air hose.” Those are a few of the catch-phrases that will stay in our minds from this weekend. Before you rush off to IMDB to try and figure out what movie we went to see, let me explain. Matt and… Continue reading Pink vs. Blue
Clinging
In my last post, I was “abiding.” That was before the past four days. I know Mom said there’d be days like this, but we’re more than halfway to a full week…and counting. I almost don’t even know where to begin. This has been a week of daily tragedies. Something new every day that rocks… Continue reading Clinging
Clean Your Room
Imagine the following conversation: Parent: Son (or daughter), it’s time to clean your room. Child: Are you sure? I mean, my room is kind of big and there’s a LOT of stuff in there. What if I can’t do it? Parent: You have everything you need to be able to clean your room. I believe… Continue reading Clean Your Room
The American Dream
What is the American Dream? White picket fences. A house. That white picket fence would look awfully silly without one, don’t you think? A 2-car…no, make that 3-car garage. Better yet, a 4-car garage with 2 cars, a boat, and a workshop. 2.5 kids. And a dog. Maybe even a cat, and a goldfish to… Continue reading The American Dream
Bring Me To Life
For some reason, I was particularly excited about Easter this year. Yes, it was my birthday too, but it was more than that. There was a sense of anticipation, of expectancy. God was preparing to do something in my heart that morning. Worship was great. It was loud and celebratory. We sang and danced and… Continue reading Bring Me To Life
I am Second: Mary’s Story
I am Second. Those of you in the Dallas area have probably seen the billboards, heard the radio ads, watched the tv spots, or perhaps even ventured to the website. For those of you outside the Metroplex, I am Second simply reflects a lifestyle characterized by God is first. Today, our church began a new… Continue reading I am Second: Mary’s Story
