Friday I made my usual trek in from an early morning of basketball. My pick-up team went 1-2 that morning. Every game was close. Paul, an unlikely hero, sunk the winning shot in the final game so we would not go home thrice defeated. On mornings Lyle ...

Pervasive … Getting your mind around life …
Lyndl, Tyrone and I met for prayer yesterday morning. We could only talk of one thing - the loss of our friend Lyle. I asked Lyndl how he was doing. He graduated with Lyle's brother, Randy. They grew up in Tuttle and as kids spent a great deal of time together. In fact, I learned ...
Friend …
Posting will be light, as you can already tell. Our church lost a fine man late Sunday evening. I lost a good friend ...
Dashing the threat to the Gospel … Converging storms and exciting opportunities …
What can we learn from other cultures? For some time conservative evangelicals point to the decline in church attendance in Europe as reason to avoid perceived cultural and ecclesial mistakes. Attempts to avoid what someone else faces without properly understanding their culture is risky at best and culturally arrogant at worst. If we could ...
Lent and the reading of Scripture …
Michael Spencer offered a link over at the Boar's Head Tavern to this Fred Craddock piece from 2003. I heard Fred Craddock at a preaching conference in Chicago last may. He offered a great message on the Parable of the Lost Son. I could not help but think of this excellent series ...

A few months ago I worked to finish a couple of small remodeling projects at home. Our home was built in the era of "popcorn" ceilings. Patty wanted a different look. I had already scraped the ceilings and hand textured two bedrooms. Now it was time to move to our ...
The worst half … it didn’t use to hurt this bad …
The half-time score read, "Home=9, Visitors=16"; without out a doubt one of the ugliest halves of basketball in which I have participated in my life. The season is played for seeding the league tournament. We sit in the three slot. Our record for the season - 6-3. Steve, the league "commissioner," graciously set our schedule ...

Denny Crane … Walk the Line … and the narrative that changes everything …
"Denny Crane," blurts William. I admit it a leap from Captain of the Starship Enterprise to Crane of "Crane, Poole & Schmidt." Denny really believes the mention of his name stirs fear in opposing counsel, awe in potential clients and longing in all women. He can be a cad ...
