At Whit’s End
Guess where we got to go yesterday? Focus on the Family’s headquarters in Colorado Springs! This was very special to me, since we visited Whit’s End, the ice cream parlor featured in the kids radio series Adventures in Odyssey. My kids grew up listening to these radio shows, and Whit, Connie, Eugene, and the others became good [...]

Mina and I are in Ft. Collins, Colorado, visiting my daughter Laure and son-in-law Jonathan. I have great times visiting them. Laure and I usually do girl things like shopping and scrapbooking. Last time I was here we spent whole days playing with paper. It’s great to have grown kids who I enjoy being with, [...]

When I see the title of our next sermon series, “Jesus in HD,” I think “Jesus in Home Depot.” Sorry; I practically live there, and besides, “high def” means nothing to me. I don’t even have good rabbit ears! I like talking to my friends at HD about their faith, or lack thereof. My friend Ken reminds [...]

“Lord, the only thing I ask today is for more prayer. I ask that more people would pray, and that their prayer lives would deepen. What an awesome God you are, and yet you take the time to listen to us when we pray! How cool is that? I long for every Christ-follower to know you intimately, and [...]

One of my favorite worship songs* has been on my mind all day. Perfect for a Resurrection Sunday! When I became a Christ-follower at the age of 17, my life changed for eternity, but also in the here-and-now. I lived in a neighborhood that had a bar on every corner, (well, almost), and the bar [...]

“Lord, sometimes Good Friday sneaks up on me. I remembered to ask off for Easter, but forgot about Good Friday. Thankfully we are having services on Thursday as well, and I will be off. The resurrection would not mean anything without Good Friday. I pray that we would take time this week to remember and reflect [...]

It makes so much sense to start a second campus; it’s more cost efficient and resource efficient as well. I’m glad that our leadership does not make decisions based on ego and self-advancement. Bigger is only better when the bigger is better. “Lord, please bless our leadership with wisdom and faithfulness. I pray for humility and [...]

It’s not too late to plan on attending the prayer conference at Faith Church on Saturday. My good friend Pam, who I have known since my teenage years years, is going to be there, so we will have good fellowship together. It’s wonderful to have friends who will pray with you, hold you accountable, and [...]

“Lord, I’m thankful for the message series we are in right now. ‘Little i, big marriage.’ I hope and pray that couples will take it to heart. I pray for me to implement these principles in my relationships with my kids and others. We live in such a world where it’s all about me, myself, [...]

I began the Financial Peace University course on Sunday, along with several others from Suncrest. I’m really looking forward to it, since I like Dave Ramsey’s book and I really want to be debt-free. I also want to be a good steward of what God has entrusted me with. “Lord, please help us to trust in [...]
