1-3-2 Go!
A few weeks ago, I challenged each of you concerning 1-3-2. How are you doing with that? Have you found your 1 space? That space that you can claim spiritual authority over. It might be your workplace, your classroom, or, as in my case, a coffee shop. If you have found your 1 space, have…
Blameless, not Faultless
This past Sunday, I was sitting at the desk in the Windgate office. I stood for a moment, and when I sat back down, the chair was… gone. I fell, striking my head on the filing cabinet on my way down. And I discovered two things: one, I don’t bounce like I used to; and…
Are You Ready for the Fall?
I saw a meme a few weeks ago that said, “Someone asked me if I had plans for the fall. It took me a moment to realize they meant autumn and not the collapse of civilization.” It made me laugh at first, but then I thought, some days, it really does feel like we’re watching…
Put your mask on first
I was on my way to Indianapolis the other day and I started my flight doing something I haven't done in a long time. I listened to the airline's safety spiel. Interesting. The first thing that captured my attention was the seat belt demonstration. Now I don't want to appear unkind in any way, shape…
They Thought They Were Safe. . .
They thought they were safe, and then they discovered they weren’t, and they are a little cranky.When we lived in Australia, Slip, Slop, Slap was the mantra. To avoid skin cancer, and to protect yourself against the Australian sun, we were told to slip on a shirt, slop on the sunscreen and slap on your…
A Call to the Marketplace
When you hear that someone has been called to something or has answered a call on their life, who do you think of? A preacher? A missionary? Maybe a doctor, a nurse or a teacher. There seem to be certain professions that we feel particular folks are called to. For many people, a call means…
Our Forever Prize
It was a constant in my childhood. The ads on TV or the envelopes arriving like clockwork in the mail. Publisher’s Clearing House was always there, with its promise of grandiose prizes. The image of Ed McMahon arriving at a winner’s home with a band, balloons and a gigantic cheque held the promise and allure…
The Death of Civility
I had never heard of Charlie Kirk before he was murdered. In the week since I’ve heard him called a martyr by some and a monster by others. After watching way too many videos of Kirk, debating on university campuses I realize that I agreed with him on some things, but not everything. And that’s…
Martha’s Lament
She was frustrated, disappointed and angry. And she wasn’t holding it back. Her brother had been sick, and as his condition continued to deteriorate, Martha and her sister Mary had sent a message to their friend Jesus. In a situation, which seemed to have no hope, Jesus provided hope.They had seen Jesus do the seemingly…
Jesus Christ Who?
As most of you know, I am a Jesus Christ Superstar nerd. I’ve seen it way too many times and attribute the rock opera as a part of my becoming a Christ follower. This summer, a new production of Superstar was performed at the Hollywood Bowl, and the actor cast to play Jesus was Cynthia…
