65. Finding God in a Sink
A bit ago I was trying to replace a sink and vanity at a townhouse my wife and I were trying to sell. Oh, that’s easy you say, just buy the parts and replace the old sink and vanity with the new ones. Yes, it would be easy, if the original plumbing wasn’t installed by [...]
September 14th, 201262. How Can I Grow Closer to God in the Car (Part III)
As if things couldn’t get worse on the road – now I see people texting while driving. It’s bad enough when you drive while talking on the cell phone, you’re still actually looking at the road. But texting? I mean you take both hands off the wheel, and take your eyes off the road so [...]
September 10th, 201261. How Can I Grow Closer to God in the Car? (Part II)
Since our last talk, I’ve been doing a lot of growing in the car. Mainly because other people keep trying to crash their cars into me. So last time we talked in Part I, I made an analogy that getting into your car was like going to a gym in your spiritual life. A nice, [...]
September 7th, 201260. How Can I Grow Closer to God In the Car?
If there’s one place everyday that your faith is tested, it’s on the road. A car is a huge weapon and they’ll give a drivers license to just about anyone – teenagers, criminals and even women. I’m just kidding, don’t get offended. I’m sure there are some teenagers out there that are good drivers. Aaaw, [...]
August 31st, 201226. Why Don’t Christians Spiritually Mature as they get Older?
On my birthday it had occurred to me that for some reason people assume that as you get older you also become a more mature Christian. But you obviously haven’t seen me wear my Star Trek uniform to church. The problem is that growth is associated with time. The more time you have to interact [...]
July 17th, 201253. What’s One Easy Way I Can Apply My Faith in Everyday Life?
God wants us to pray continually. And we always seem to hit stoplights continually. Which means I tend to yell continuously. But what if we assume that God had us hit these stoplights for a reason? Let’s consider this verse and see how it can apply in traffic… 1TH 5:16 Be joyful always; [17] pray [...]
July 3rd, 201230. Relationships: People Are Disappointing, So What Do We Do?
I’ve said it before… ministry starts with relationships. And since people aren’t as perfect (or as humble) as I am, there’s a lot to consider. One constant in life is that people are disappointing. People don’t live up to our expectations of behavior. Of course our expectations of behavior are probably messed up – but [...]
March 30th, 201263. Growing Closer to God in the Car (Part IV): The Epic Conclusion
There’s tons of lessons we can learn in the car that we can take into the rest of our lives. One of those things is to never attempt to eat a taco supreme while driving. It just ends in tears. I’ve blabbed on a lot about spiritual growth we can do in the car, like [...]
August 24th, 201178. It’s Tax Time. How Is That a Good Thing?
So I’m doing my taxes right now, and I am so glad our money is going to politicians who can spend it a lot more wisely than we can. Let’s take money out of the economy from where it wanted, and give it to a few hundred ex-lawyers and let them spend it on where [...]
April 18th, 201129. I Want To Grow, Now What?
Growing is really hard. It’s something we all want to do, but without a strategy it’s like trying to win a game without understanding your team or the other team. Or asking out a girl on a date without figuring out what you’re going to say, or why girls are insane. We’re like a football [...]
