So many things I could say about this picture. The first thing that came to my mind was, is this what your church looks like? Add the four bases, add some front door living room, kitchen, get your purposes in there, and of course you need to launch multi-site right now. Just because you canContinue reading

Thoughts
Creekside is awesome. God is doing some amazing things in our community and I believe more awesome things are yet to come. Looking forward to the fall’s E3 launch, launching another sunday morning gathering, and all that is going to happen at Creekside. My family is amazing, and Kathy has been such an encouragement toContinue reading “Thoughts”
Who Are You?
I just spent three days in beautiful Kelowna with Don and Damon. This trip went a lot better than I was anticipating, both for content and for fun. I really had a great time hanging out with Don and Damon, and learning together and being challenged together. As a result I am even more excitedContinue reading “Who Are You?”
Peace of Mind
So lately the post that has brought the most traffic to my blog has been the video of Lauryn Hill’s “Gotta Find Peace of Mind.” Is there a better time than this to hear that song? With so much drama in the world around us, it’s hard to truly find peace. There are some manyContinue reading “Peace of Mind”
10 Years Ago Today
I was a senior at Lake Washington High School. Life was simple, everything was fun for me. Even the pre-college writing class that I was heading into. But as I walked into that class room, something very unusal was happening. The TV was on and everyone was watching as Columbine High School was experiencing theContinue reading “10 Years Ago Today”

(The LORD lists all the areas that still need toContinue reading “God Will Do It”
Forgiveness
Today I was reading from Mark and this verse struck me. Mark 11:25 – “And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.” Whenever you pray, forgive. Who do you need to forgive? I think we all haveContinue reading “Forgiveness”
Glory
Leviticus 8:23-24 – And Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting, and when they came out they blessed the people, and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people. And fire came out from before the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the pieces of fat on the altar, andContinue reading “Glory”
But I’m Not . . .
This morning I read Exodus 4, where Moses gave God his excuses for why Moses wasn’t the right guy for the job. You Can read the portion here. I love the God didn’t let Moses get out of his calling. God doesn’t take our excuses. We can come up with a million of them, butContinue reading “But I’m Not . . .”
How’s You’re Home Page?
I’ve been really challenged lately to always strive to keep things simple. Be it process, or technology, or relationships the best is the simplest (if that’s a word). So I heard someone talking about the value of MSN live search, I’ve never used it, and I have a feeling that most people doing web searchContinue reading “How’s You’re Home Page?”
