I am working on a new initiative.  It is very new and still in development.  It is meant to unleash transforming creative acts on an unsuspecting culture.  Find out more about GreeNectar. And by all means leave your comments here.

Hi all - My dear folks are dealing with some significant challenges in their lives. Both are 80+, and do not consider themselves followers of Jesus.  They need your prayers.  First and foremost, they need to experience God’s redemption. But here are some other things for you to pray for.

I feel kinda wimpy.  I have mission statement.  It reads like this:
Transforming lives through creative communication.
It’s good I guess.  But then I read Leonard Sweet’s Magna Carta of Trust.  Ouch!  It’s amazing.  I wish I would have written it.  Oh, how I wish…

I needed this.  My spiritual director blessed me with it yesterday.  It re-opened my heart.  And reinvigorated it.  God is romancing me, this time through the words of Charles Spurgeon.  Savor these words like a fine glass of wine or a succulent desert.

Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know […]

Broken promises,
We lost the joy that we once knew.
Where do we go from here,
From something old to something new?
Past dreams done gone from me,
I’m losing daylight, losing view.
Son of God, where are You now?
Do You feel my need?

This last Sunday, I found myself sick of praying. I languished in bed, not even able to pull […]

Christopher Levan, evangelical author, once asked “Will anyone on their deathbead wish they had had the chance to go to more church meetings?” 
What do you think?  If we don’t go to more church meetings, Sunday morning services, etc., what do we do?  How should we then live, as Francis Schaeffer once asked?
