Man Alive!

Are you a mentor? Are you a men’s small group leader? Do you disciple men? Here’s a really good book to check out if you lead or are involved in ministry to men. Patrick Morely has been producing resources for men and men’s ministries for years. This latest book from Morley may be his best [ READ MORE ]

Black Nativity Inspires!

Sunday night Julie and I attended one of the most inspirational and deeply spiritual events in recent memory. The Black Nativity was presented at the historic Moore Theater in downtown Seattle. As we found our front-row seats we wondered if perhaps we were seated too close. Those concerns were quickly erased as the program began [ READ MORE ]

I Sold Out for $4.99!

We are not major coupon clippers – just a few here and there. But when it came time to do our shopping for Thanksgiving dinner we assembled a stack of coupons and headed off to Fred Meyer in hopes of scoring a free turkey. We were pretty sure we could meet the $150 threshold required to [ READ MORE ]

Becoming (More) Organic

We live in an area where storm water runoff goes directly into Puget Sound. That means that stuff in our yards and streets that makes its way into the storm drain ends up in the water. Some of that stuff might include fertilizers and pesticides or petroleum products. For years I have been an avid [ READ MORE ]

San Diego Restaurant Review

I recently spent 8 days in San Diego with my wife. We stayed in a downtown hotel near Little Italy and walked everywhere. Rather than give you a daily account of our urban vacation I’ll opt for a series of posts by categories. Today’s category: food! Did I mention that we stayed near Little Italy? [ READ MORE ]

Crime Capital of the Pacific Northwest?

I live and work in Federal Way, WA. It’s a suburban community located on the southern edge of King County (where Seattle is) and runs along the northeast border of Tacoma. There isn’t much that sets Federal Way apart from the neighboring communities. We do host some international businesses and organizations like World Vision and [ READ MORE ]

Luxury on a Budget

It’s Valentine’s Day! Millions of people will be spending hundreds of millions of dollars to express their love to that special someone. Many will find inexpensive ways to tip their hat to this biggest non-holiday day of the year. (If you don’t think Valentine’s Day is a big deal just try ignoring it!  Bad idea!!) [ READ MORE ]

Trust Me!

Stephen M. R. Covey presents a rather persuasive case for the fundamental need of trust in any relationship or organization. That may not sound that profound, but just consider how difficult it is to get things done in families, organizations, businesses, ministries, or government when there is a palpable lack of trust. Nothing gets done. [ READ MORE ]

Meet Jackson Larson

Jackson Larson is a remarkable young man.  I’ve never met Jackson but would like the opportunity to meet this NextGeneration leader.  Recently, Jackson was injured in a rather unusual car accident. Several vertebrae in his back were crushed and he is – for now, at least – paralyzed from the waist down. But his injuries [ READ MORE ]

Solitary Existence

It was a great Christmas weekend. Our daughter and son-in-law came up form Portland on Thursday with their cute little15 month old daughter in tow. We enjoyed several meals around the dining room table,  attended Christmas Eve services at our church, opened gifts, watched the  ‘Despicable Me’ dvd, and walked through an amazing light show [ READ MORE ]
