I dreamt last night that Jordin (my co-manager at the Bridge Cafe) and I were attending Catalyst (though for some reason it was being held in a large gymnasium). We were instructed to get up and introduce ourselves around, and as we did so, I ran into Mike Foster of Deadly Viper fame (who was [...]

I’m Giving Away My Birthday!

I turn 29 on Friday, October 23. Bottom line:
1. I don’t need any more stuff. And there are people all over the world who live in crushing poverty.
2. Microfinance is the single best way to end systemic poverty, to teach people to pull themselves up out of generations of poverty. Bar none.
3. HOPE INTERNATIONAL is [...]
Target: Dayton

Manda and I took yesterday (Friday) as a true day off; we did almost nothing other than going out to dinner and to the River Walk. So we took much of today off as well, and really only went out for the evening to a place called Target: Dayton. It’s a ministry that our church [...]
A Story I Told

**This isn’t something I saw; rather it’s a story I told as a presentation of the Gospel at the MizzouBSU’s RealLife Thursday Night Live. I would be interested in your thoughts.**
If we can say anything at all about our culture, it’s that we love stories. Look at our movies, our television, our sports, our gossip [...]

I just got done with Catalyst One Day, in Dallas, TX. I got to hear from Andy Stanley and Craig Groschel for a full day, and it’s been amazing. The conference got over at 5, and I don’t fly out until 9:45, so I decided to chill out at the church building rather than try [...]
An (Younger than me) Old Friend

Last night I flew into Dallas for the Catalyst One Day conference. A friend of mine from undergrad saw I was coming in and got ahold of me, so we met up for (a very late) dinner.
Now this friend and I haven’t seen each other since 2003, but thanks to Interwebs, we have stayed in [...]
Another Reason to Love the Ghetto

Tonight, I was driving home from Manda’s house. I was sitting at a stoplight at a major cross-road. I looked down across the block to the next stoplight. Cars were stopped at it as well, coming my direction, so their headlights cast a faint glow across the street on which I would soon be driving.
And [...]
A Sepulcher of Worship

There’s a building that used to house a church just down the street from my church building. It was – for the first four years or so I worked here – a Church of God in Christ. But a couple of years ago, it closed its doors. Apparently they’d brought in a new pastor to [...]
Homeless Guys who weren’t Hungry

Today, as I was getting ready for my day, it occurred to me that I have very few places to interact with persons I don’t know. So I took my laptop to Kaldi’s to work on my sermon for this coming Sunday.
At one point around lunch time, I had to go feed my parking meter, [...]

Tonight, Emily and Ashley, presented me with a present. They were visiting a church in Kirksville, and the produced for me a booklet called If My People…: A 40 Day Prayer Guide for Our Nation. The cover features the title and an American Flag. No Bible. No Cross. No Jesus. These folks didn’t even try.
Each [...]
