God, Are you even there? Are you watching? Are you seeing this? As a parent, if my children were acting like this, I'd step in. We'd have some time out and some serious discussions on loving one another. Where are you? I've defended you countless times in too many of these situations! Where are you?... Continue Reading →
Lament
Lord, I no longer understand your people. I donāt even feel like I can talk to them anymore. I don't even want to talk to them anymore. So, Iām talking to You. Show me what to do, give me the words to share. How can I make a difference? Show me you are there and... Continue Reading →
Struggles…
Iāve really been struggling latelyā¦ oh, who am I kidding, Iāve been struggling for quite some time now. Iām struggling with the āchurchā. The idea, the institution, whatever you want to call it. In the midst of all these struggles, the church where my membership currently resides, asked recently if I wanted to be āremoved... Continue Reading →
Mantra for today
Lord, Help me. Lead me. Guide me. Inspire me. Please. Amen. And so it is.
Do You Know Him?

I just felt like I needed to look at each and every photograph, listen to each story thoroughly. I owed it to the those who... Continue Reading →
As often as you eat and drink…
It's Sunday again and y'all, I haven't been to worship in a church building in quite a while. Sometimes I watch online, sometimes I don't. We are struggling right now with the "church" and "religion." I still believe, my faith is strong, but things just have not been feeling "right" lately and so we struggle.... Continue Reading →
Do Hard Things
Here's a little cuteness to start your day. š A long time ago I wrote a sermon entitled, "Do Hard Things". It was for a youth Sunday at a previous little church. I think there were maybe 8 youth and one of them mine. I got the idea from as book I read with my... Continue Reading →
I can’t think of a good title
So late yesterday evening, I had decided that I would take a moment to defend my last post from yesterday but you know what? Whatās the point? Those who were offended by it didnāt really read it all the way through anyway because they seemed to miss the āweā and the āIām doneā parts so... Continue Reading →
Thisā¦ this right here
This right here is why Iāve lost my faith in humanityā¦ this is a pastor! Itās why my faith in the church is waning. This is what Iām talking about!! This is why Iām struggling! And it was a āChristianā friend who shared it in agreement! This is āspirit crushingā stuff. What is wrong with... Continue Reading →
