Resentment.
If you bring up that word immediately you think of jealousy, ill-will, anger…things that do not define a Christian very well.
Honestly, it’s not something that’s good for anyone. Yet many of us have it on one level or another.
I know that for many years I thought of resentment READ MORE »
Racism used to be such a hot button issue. Now, I get sick of discussions of racism many times because so many people have taken something vile and reduced it to little more than a political tool (i.e. if you disagree with the current President then you have to be a racist.) One Democratic U.S. Representative actually said those who oppose the political agenda he believes in want to see blacks “hanging from a tree.”
Really? You really want to compare someone disagreeing with the President’s health care plan to someone who HUNG PEOPLE TO DEATH SIMPLY FOR THEIR SKIN COLOR?
This is how much racism has been cheapened in America. READ MORE »
The Christian Condemnation Machine™ has been in high gear since the NASCAR Nationwide Race here in Nashville. The reason? Pastor Joe Nelms of Family Baptist Church from Lebanon, TN did a prayer that some think wasn’t “reverent” enough for God.
Here’s the clip of the prayer: READ MORE »
In 2007 and 2008, I took July 7th and dedicated the day to God. The first year was because I couldn’t come to Nashville for an event called The Call; the second year was because the ministry I had been working with at the time was having everyone take part in it. Well, that ministry’s apparently still doing it so a lot of folks were out on July 7th walking around seeking God.
I didn’t have the opportunity to do something on July 7th due to my wife needing me around all day (the last two years involved us driving from Missouri to Nashville, so I had no chance to walk.) I hadn’t really planned to walk but it kept being placed in front of me over the last few weeks…to the point that my wife actually suggested I go on July 8 after she said she needed me home on July 7.

In case you don’t read my other blog Mustard Seed Year, you may not know that God blew me away with a surprise gift…tickets to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Jeff Byrd 500 in Bristol, TN from Red Bull Racing driver Brian Vickers. I took a ton of pictures and plan to share them in a few parts over the next few days. I’ll throw in some comments to some of them.

If you haven’t subscribed or visited my other blog, Mustard Seed Year, I have a large post with an update on where I’m at in regarding my job loss and looking forward.
I watch the “reboot” of Hawaii Five-O when I have some time to kill unwinding after work. I’ve been rather impressed with the way the show has been reworked to bring something new out of something that has been long since dormant.
And Scott Caan is just awesome as Dan-o.
But I’m not here to write about a TV show based on an island where I’ll only visit if God somehow moves in mighty ways. The reboot of the show, while good, can’t match God rebooting something. He decided to do that with me. READ MORE »
