How Does Love for My Neighbor Begin?

April 24, 2018

The problem with people is, well, people. Some of us are easier to love than others.  But most of us alternate between loveable, tolerable and detestable depending on our environment. For years I have made the tongue-in-cheek joke that if you don’t love my brother Karl, there is something desperately wrong with you. My brother … More How Does Love for My Neighbor Begin?

A Dying Friend’s Lesson in Life

December 5, 2017

Two years ago, I had just gotten off the phone with a brother in Christ who was a stage 4 colon cancer patient living on miracle time.

“Friday Night” Party Night

April 15, 2015

Just spent 20 minutes talking on the phone with a man I have never met who called up the pastor (me) of his father’s former church. He was emotional, drunk, broken, guilt ridden and longing, in the emptiness of all the choices that hollowed his life out, for a return to a more innocent time. … More “Friday Night” Party Night

Two Visions, Two Futures.

June 2, 2014
