Following Christ is a crazy adventure full of risk, frustration, excitement, and setbacks. It's not an evening stroll in a gated community along a well-manicured path.

Many of us lose our souls for lack of courage. If you are on the Way, you must get used to the sight of your own blood. (E Stanley Jones)

What will make you happy?!

Trying to be happy by accumulating possessions is like trying to satisfy hunger by taping sandwiches all over your body. (G Carlin)

or Grabitude?!

I want what I want & I want it now!

May I suggest a faith experiment?


For a week, quit talking about Jesus (regardless of how true your beliefs may be) and simply go out and serve, bless, and love EVERYONE you encounter, especially people who anger you or you would normally avoid. When they decide to ask why you are being so "other-worldly", break the verbal fast and fill in the blanks.

I assure you, it will prove to change lives and hearts.

I dare you. (Brandt Russo)

Have some fun today!

Remember God created laughter.

Luke 6:43-45
You don't get wormy apples off a healthy tree, nor good apples off a diseased tree. The health of the apple tells the health of the tree. You must begin with your own life-giving lives. It's who you are, not what you say and do, that counts. Your true being brims over into true words and deeds.

Feeling troubled?! Return to joy.

Joy is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of God.

Navel gazing...

I must surrender my fascination with myself to a more worthy preoccupation with the character and purposes of God. I am not the point. He is. I exist for him. He does not exist for me. (L Crabb)

It’s crazy, if you think about it.


The God of the universe—the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor—loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love.

And what is our typical response?

We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. (F Chan)

Look for God in the midst of your life.

He is there.

What does your life consist of?

Sports?

Recreation?

Work?

Kids?

Buds.

We need them - especially as we get older.

Love does.

Don't fool yourself into thinking that you are a listener when you are anything but, letting the Word go in one ear and out the other. Act on what you hear! Those who hear and don't act are like those who glance in the mirror, walk away, and two minutes later have no idea who they are, what they look like.

Speak life & encouragement.

It only takes a spark, remember, to set off a forest fire. A careless or wrongly placed word out of your mouth can do that. By our speech we can ruin the world, turn harmony to chaos, throw mud on a reputation, send the whole world up in smoke and go up in smoke with it, smoke right from the pit of hell.

Feeling dry?!

God, my shepherd! I don't need a thing.
   You have bedded me down in lush meadows,
      you find me quiet pools to drink from.
   True to your word,
      you let me catch my breath
      and send me in the right direction.
