Confessions of A Recovering P.K. I am a husband, father, learner, pastor, musician, and movie enthusiast. Thursday, July 26, 2012. The Benefit of the Doubt. I'm fairly willing to admit my faults and weaknesses. It's not always easy, but when they're pointed out to me or if I notice them myself, it's unwise to pretend that they don't exist. One of my big faults is taking myself too seriously sometimes. Another one is the difficulty that I have with giving people the benefit of the doubt. He's a middle chi...

Conversely, when overwhelmed by destruction, it shouldn't give me reason to say, "Wow! God must really hate me." This kind of theology is destructive. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

In a leadership class I took for my Master's of Divinity degree, we used a book entitled "Leadership: Theory and Practice" by Peter Northouse. Based upon its price on Amazon, I would guess that it's a typical textbook for business classes, describing varying approaches and models of leadership. One of the chapters towards the end of the book is all about women and leadership.

Today is the last day of this miniseries on lessons from an amusement park. I suspect that there might be some out there who have read this week and considered that I may just be turning into a grumpy old man. Trust me, I’ve thought the same thing on more than one occasion over the last few weeks. Amusement parks are similar in tha...

Confessions of A Recovering P.K. I am a husband, father, learner, pastor, musician, and movie enthusiast. Friday, October 4, 2013. The government of the United States has shut down, and the world is still turning. In fact, although the government has shut down, the ones who have caused this shutdown are still being paid. Finger pointing is happening on a minute by minute basis between conservatives and liberals, Democrats and Republicans. I am not a very political guy. My lackadaisical approach towards p...

Just like Joni Mitchell describes in her song, sometimes, when we look at things from different angles and perspectives, we still can't figure it out. We do our best to be objective, we move and look again, trying desperately to see what we haven't seen before, yet nothing seems to change. I've been there before. We do our best to be humble and rig...

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference." How often do we attempt to change things that are completely out of our control? Wednesday, June 27, 2012. The "Don'ts" of Small Groups. In the midst of reading this book as well...

Sermon preparation always seems to be the means by which my brain gets a jumpstart. It forces me to dig into Scripture a little bit deeper and my imagination can generally go wild as I think through the many applications to my life and life in general. We have been in the book of Daniel since the beginning of the New Year. He has made enemies, which is bound to happen whenev...

Confessions of A Recovering P.K. I am a husband, father, learner, pastor, musician, and movie enthusiast. Tuesday, April 30, 2013. Today I turn 40. I’m not too sure how I feel about that yet. Plenty of people have told me that they thought I was younger, which is a compliment to me. I’ve never necessarily been one to act my age and I don’t intend to start anytime in the near future.

The name of her son would be Jesus and he would save his people. He would be the one to sit on David's throne and rule forever. The girl's name was Mary. He said, " For nothing is impossible with God. In th...
