So for those of you not on Facebook, there is this thing going around to list 25 random things about yourself. I’ve never participated in this one, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to make fun of myself or reveal things that are probably better left in the closet. So here you go.
Matt’s [...]

I think this is the second time I’ve quoted Shaq on this blog. I’m beginning to wonder about myself, however, I was just watching an interview with him and Steven A Smith on espn.com and he says this (at about the 3 minute point of the video below),

I am currently feeling a bit of exhaustion. I am working long hours at work and am finding little time or energy for the things that help encourage and sustain me. When I do spend time in ministry, I find myself lacking by either not studying the the vigor and desire that I [...]

OK…so I asked on my facebook if updating my status counted as a Christmas card and I got a resounding contradiction…some yes / some no. If you said no as an attempt to get on our annual mailing list for Christmas cards, the joke’s on you. We’ve never sent Christmas cards. However, [...]
