Rehearsing Sacred As a pastor, officiating a wedding is a lot like managing a business. There are only a few small differences: You don’t choose your employees, none of them can be fired, they have to be able to perform under pressure and in front of audiences, you have no interview process and have no…
Skate Park Gold Card My daughters like to remind me of my age. It’s not because I struggle to remember it. No, that would be innocent and helpful. They do this for their amusement. Typically, they remind me of how old I’m getting when they’re challenging me to try some “fun” activity. “Dad, do the…
Side Effects When I say, “pharmaceutical television drug advertisement” I bet that all of us conjure up the same kind of thoughts in our minds. A gentle voice starts caressing our ears with words of encouragement as Images of green grass, blue skies, yoga classes, people dancing, smiling and laughing while holding onto each other’s…

Don’t get me wrong, I know that it’s unhealthy to chew on a problem over and over again during all hours of the night, while desperately praying for sleep.

As I’m sure you’re aware, few astronauts have been found…
In Pursuit At this moment I’m sitting in an emergency room. To be honest, I suspected that this was coming. The impending doom seemed sure enough, but the activity… it was oh-so enticing! Who doesn’t enjoy jumping on a trampoline? My handful of future Olympians loved the idea. All 4 daughters were in agreement. A…
Barefooted Experience A couple members of my pastoral team enjoy barefoot running. Throughout the winter they wear special shoes that are designed to replicate the barefoot experience. When summer comes, they like to run through the woods barefooted. One team member has even claimed that he wants to build up his endurance for a very…
Like a Good Neighbor Understanding insurance coverage is a lot like trying to understand in-laws. They both don’t hesitate to tell you “how it is”, but in the end you’re still confused. Many churches under the care of UMC Team 1 (my team of pastors) have been reviewing their insurance coverages recently. New riders need…
