I confess. I’ve been watching Big Brother All-Stars this season. Oh no, oh no. This is only the second Big Brother show I’ve watched, but boy, the drama drew me in.I went to Spinning tonight. Then lifted weights. Starving when I got home, but I resisted pigging out. I have to lose at least 15 lbs by the time we …
Long Day
Led worship.Ate pizza.Band practice. Actually, we recorded a CD so I can send it to the ACFW conference worship team. It was fun. Three women showed up at church right after “the recording” and wanted prayer. I prayed with them for a while. The Lord met them. How cool is He? One woman came in not knowing God cared for …
Blustery Day
It’s a stormy and blustery day. I’m sleepy. Going to take a nap.
Resolved
Resolved: To figure out why I can’t stand to see my “round” thighs in the mirror during a 6:00 a.m. Spinning class, but forget completely about the matter by lunch time when I’m ordering McDonald’s French fries. What is up with that?Okay, it’s not every day I leave Spinning and order fat food, but how is my distain for being …
Dreams

Life knocks us into the pit and we find ourselves studying and relating to our surroundings rather …

Saturday, Sleepy Day
Home from Poughkeepsie. We had a great time. God is so good and faithful. Our last meeting was Wednesday night and we lingered in worship and God’s presence from 7:30 to 11:00. We had prayer time in the middle where people gathered in groups of four to six and prayed for each other. Lots of good stuff happening. The Lord …
Hump Day – Wednesday
Feels more like the final day, but it’s only Wednesday. Flying up to Poughkeepsie on Saturday then getting busy with the week’s meetings on Sunday has kind of skewed my weekly timing. We are having a blast. God is so very faithful and good. He’s meeting and encouraging the people of The River Church, connecting hearts and reestablishing relationships. It’s …
The booksigning and Pougkeepsie
Just a few minutes to “chat.” I’m in Poughkeepsie, NY at The River Church and the evening service is about to start. Tony is speaking. We flew up yesterday for a series of summer renewal meetings. We first met the people here 9 years ago when we brought the youth band up for a Youth Rally. It was amazing, more …
