As I was trying to sleep the other night, a deep thought came in my mind. It was a story/analogy of who God is. So hear me out: There was a Boss who owned a store and had a security camera in the inventory section of his store. One day He decided to look at the [...]
What a weekend. We rocked a show in a city about thirty miles out from ours and about sixty youth from OUR city made the drive to support and get blessed. The show was bananas, and the crowd expressed their appreciation by being rowdy, rowdy, rowdy. I got to spend significant time building with our [...]
In the book of Revelation 2:8-11, Jesus gives John a message for the church Smyrna. He tells John that he knows their works, He knows that they are serving Him with works that are pleasing to God. He goes on to say that He also knows their tribulation and poverty, and that times are hard [...]
I was returning a DVD at the outdoor kiosk last week, and a boldness overcame me. There he was, again, the same guy, standing outside the convenience store asking for handouts. I saw him there often, working the odds: ask enough people for a little and maybe he’ll accumulate enough for a meal. Or a [...]

I sat there in my car and wept. I was done. Done, done, done. And I hadn’t even started yet. The summer was what you might call “winding down,” and September was approaching. I had a knot in my stomach, as I knew what was on the horizon. My daughters would return to school and [...]
Over the years, I’ve had quite a few of those “that’s not supposed to happen” moments. I’m referring to those moments to defy human reason; the ones that, whether negative or positive, leave you, well, dumbfounded. In 2004, I started losing my voice during concerts. When I finally had it checked, an otolaryngologist informed me [...]
Greeting friends, This past weekend was a very special weekend for me and I give all glory to God. You know when God has purpose for you, many obstacles will try to delay you from doing what God has created you to do. I am not a perfect person and definitely have not lived a [...]
My caller I.D. displayed one of those, well, annoying calls. That periodic call I receive from the guy* that only makes contact when he wants something from me. Despite his public reputation as a Godly man and a community figure, he doesn’t call to see how I’m doing. He doesn’t check-in to ensure that my [...]
Betrayal might be the worst human feeling. You put your best foot forward, trust your convictions, and strive for excellence. Despite your efforts, you end up with a knife in your back because personal gain trumped goodness. My most recent betrayal was gradual, but it stung nonetheless. We’ve been in our neighborhood for seven years. [...]
Growing up in the church, I heard what I was supposed to be doing all the time. “Read your Bible more; stop lusting; pray more; you should want to go to church; don’t take communion in an unworthy manner; you should want to tell people about Jesus; make sure you find a good Christian girl.” [...]
