As I hung out with members of my church family tonight at the beautiful Mariner’s Church in Orange County, CA, my great friend Sean Smith reminded me that one of my former posts said that I will get back on blogging. I am trying to avoid any such claims anymore when I write, because frankly, [...]
Here for a Reason
For those of you that might not know, I have spent the last 17 years, off and on, in the radio broadcasting industry. The thing about radio that makes it special is you are able to talk to people within your community, whether you are on the air or not, using the broadcast signal. Whether [...]
Bums me out when life gets in the way
As my wife put it today, “You haven’t posted since January 11th, you slacker!” Of course she was kidding, but that is how I feel. I am bummed when I am not able to post or, as in the past few days, read. It’s not that I don’t want to, but life does get in [...]
Live fast, pray hard
I don’t know about you, but 2008 seemed to just fly by. I don’t know where the time went. We live in fast times and one of the things that I really have to work hard at doing is making the time to pray. Although I have prayers all throughout the day at my desk [...]
Who cares what they think
I am always interested when Jesus is teaching and it totally conflicts with our human nature. This came up in my reading this week when Jesus is totally challenging people in Luke. In this case, as read in a couple of the chapters, Jesus is telling us not to care what people think when following [...]
If only Church could be like this
It’s January 10, 2009 and hell must be freezing over because the Arizona Cardinals are in the NFC Championship for the first time ever. To say that Arizona is excited would be an understatement. Nobody epitomizes that more than my wife. She is the classic bandwagon fan. Although I have worked for the team (more [...]
Fear not, you got a shield
In reading Genesis tonight, I found it ironic how we are built to learn by cause and effect, while we must learn to have faith. Let me explain: When we are children, we learn by our actions. Put your hand on the stove, it is going to burn and hurt tremendously. And as we go [...]
Want to get away?
There are a series of Southwest Airlines commercials that are on quite a bit during this time of year when people do really dumb things and then the announcer comes on and says, “Want to get away?”. While I haven’t done something really stupid, this one verse jumped out to me today:
15 But now even more [...]
Work in progress
As you may have noticed, there are things on this site that are missing or incomplete. That’s what happens with something that you do as a hobby. But, being that it is Bible09, I wanted to get it out as quickly as possible and it was 80% there, so I went with it.
If you are [...]
Going with the Vision
Over the holidays, I have had the opportunity to read quite a bit. Not just books, but blog posts and articles as well. Obviously, it is the start of the new year, so many are writing and talking about where to go. Words like vision, purpose, dream and focus have been top of the list [...]
