Vacation = plan + improvise
One week in Orlando:
- When did a 2 bedroom condo become too small for my family of 6? Four girls – 15, 14, 12, 11 in one room and me and mom in the other. Sounded like a good plan…at least it was when they were like under [...]

Broken Wholeness…begins
So I began a new journey last night.
It didn’t REALLY begin last night…guess it began long before then. But last night was the official start.
Some 6 months ago I received a call asking me to lead 140+ men through three and a half days…lead them to their next step in their faith journey. [...]

Who was the best teacher in your life?
I just calculated that I sat in something like 65 or 70 classrooms. Despite all of those experiences, only a handful of gifted educators truly opened up my mind and heart to the content.

Passion 07 – Thirsty – Final Day
While waiting in the Atlanta airport…some notes from the final day:

We must have a vibrant devotional life – before we launch out on attack, we must sit with the commander.
We must build [...]

Passion 07 – Thirsty – Day 2
Have you ever had so much God…so much of His anointing….so much of His overwhelming grace that you just can’t take anymore? I am there…full…stuffed…so much I need to begin to unpack and process. More on this later…
A peek into my notebook:
Vision – God has given me a vision. It is beginning to be birthed.
Visions [...]

Passion 07 – Live Updates – Day 1
Somebody pinch me…
Just returned to our hotel room here somewhere north of mega-sprawled Atlanta. Spent the first half of today getting from Tampa to Passion 07, and the second half rubbing elbows with some of my contemporary heroes of the faith…like David Crowder, an eclectic, national award winning artist and my most favorite worship [...]
