Today is the Global Day of Prayer. From midnight to midnight, countries and peoples across the globe will be lifting their voices in prayer for healing, for restoration, for blessing to come. This morning as part of our service, we prayed the prayer below. The strength of hundreds of voices rising as one was powerful. … Continue reading Come, Lord Jesus!

Life’s a Picnic!
Well, at least it is once a year when you’re part of the Worship & Arts ministry at McKinney Fellowship! We attended the second annual W&A family picnic at Springhill Retreat Center in Richardson. We think it’s no small coincidence that they started having these affairs shortly after WE joined the church, but that’s a… Continue reading Life’s a Picnic!
Extravagant Worship
It’s been an amazing weekend. A-MAZ-ING. Incredible. Beyond description. More than I could have hoped for. And God met me here. This morning (well after the aerobics class that Tamra and I were the ONLY ones to show up for!) we enjoyed a time of worship. Our awesome praise team led us in a time… Continue reading Extravagant Worship
Extreme Love

I Am Second

The Morning After
Well, my birthday weekend of fun continued. Last night was the big birthday bash – complete with lots of foolishness, too much food, and great times with friends. Today was a bit more – shall we say – subdued. We decided not to push going to the 8:30 service and instead opted for the 10:00. … Continue reading The Morning After
“Goal” Post – A Checklist for 2008
I’m not all that crazy about checklists. For someone like me, who has both random and OCD tendencies, a checklist can wreak havoc on my mental state. However, in reflecting on the past year, I think a checklist is definitely in order. Let’s see how I did on reaching the goals I set for myself… Continue reading “Goal” Post – A Checklist for 2008
Threads of Gratitude – Week 3
This week has certainly been an emotional roller coaster. There is so much going on in our lives and in the world around us, with so much upheaval, that it could be difficult to find things to be grateful for. But I think it’s in times like this when we really need to focus on… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude – Week 3
Threads of Gratitude – Week 2
It’s Thursday again, and you know what that means. Well, yes, it does mean that tomorrow’s Friday, and that there’s only one day of work week left, but that’s not what I was going for. And yes, it does mean Thursday night football, but that’s not quite the answer I was expecting either. Sure, for… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude – Week 2
