Good morning! May you reach out to that person who has been on your mind the last few days. #MorningMug
Do you ever read a book so timely it is almost overwhelming? Something that grabs you by the soul and says, “LOOK!”
I am experiencing that right now with this little book.

We had so much fun this past week in North Carolina watching Ethan play ball. It’s hard to believe these are the final days of doing so.

“Perhaps the single greatest threat is not the rise of secularism or the emptying of churches, but the apathy and indifference of the churches that are still here.”
I have been using Micro Social since it came out. For those of using Micro.blog it is an amazing little app. If you have not started using it, I encourage you to give it a try!

Diving into some texts on power this week. Starting with this one and going from there.
My Own Heart's Question - Would I Take Jesus at His Word?
Do you trust anyone?
It’s a hard question to answer, isn’t it?
We live in a culture of radical mistrust. How do we know what is real and what is fake? Is it even possible to know the answer to that any longer?
Every day it seems like I see something on the Internet and think, “Man, that is so cool. I wonder if it’s real?”
This is so on point and true.
You know what I think is weird? That people will condemn you for not keeping up with the news while they think nothing about ignoring philosophy, literature, theology, cultural criticism, history. You will be at the mercy of spinmeisters if you lack a worldview that structures the news.
A good reminder for me (and mybe you) on social media:
“Never argue with an idiot; they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.” - Mark Twain
Often, more times than not, I am the idiot.
Today begins Lent, a time of preparation for the celebration of Easter. During Lent we experience the full swing of emotion from the celebration of Christ’s triumphal entry to the heartbreak of the crucifixion.
I pray we will fully enter into it.
