STUPID goals « Running Agile. This is great. Meant to be for business managers, but I saw huge impacts for church leadership. So many times we want to do what is attainable and going to produce positive out comes. But we have the power of the creator of the universe behind us.

February 2010 Front Page
I sit at my desk pondering the newsletter and what is happening around here. There is a lot of talk about education and confirmation and I ponder as we go into Lent what education and confirmation mean. I wonder when it is that confirmation begins. Most of us would probably say that confirmation is 7thContinue reading “February 2010 Front Page”
Standards set…
This morning I participated in a Bible Study on Acts chapter 6. We talked about the appointment of the 7 to do service for the widows and those who were being overlooked. In doing this we took a side step to talk about the apostles… The apostles took it upon themselves to create, or continue,Continue reading “Standards set…”
Passion Show
My devotion for this morning was about following Jesus and doing the commandments. Even today we hear the call of Jesus just as Peter, James, John did from the show line. Can you hear it echoing, “Come and Follow Me.” Come and leave your safe life behind. I want you to go to place andContinue reading “Passion Show”
Purging Passion
Josiah was king. He was also 8. Josiah though had a passion for the God of his father David, that caused him to become enraged by idols and false gods that would take away from his time and worship of the real God. Idols in Josiah’s time were easy to spot and take down, andContinue reading “Purging Passion”
I wonder…

Location or offering
Peter Eide hit me hard again today. Not literally, Peter is not that kind of guy, but figuratively… We read the commissioning of Isaiah, and talked about it. Here Isaiah is in the temple, and sees God and realizes he is in the wrong place, because he is not worthy to be here, but GodContinue reading “Location or offering”
A forgiveness explosion
Isn’t it interesting that we forget about others it seems and focus only on ourselves? I mean, look at Jesus. No really look at Jesus. He cried out in the garden, the night before his death, “if it is possible, remove this cup from me…” I don’t want to do it, I do not thinkContinue reading “A forgiveness explosion”
Feather Blower or Feather Grabber
I am at a gathering for senior high youth in the SW Texas Synod. Peter Eide is here to lead worship and concerts, and tonight he gave a wonderful talk about how we are all able to seize our destiny and grasp the feather and follow God… He told us a story of a kingContinue reading “Feather Blower or Feather Grabber”
Invitation only…
Have you ever seen a party that is invitation only? Been close enough to crash the gates? Ever wanted to be in on the cool happenings… Isn’t it interesting that we all want what we don’t have and we are not always ready to open up and accept what is right in front of us.Continue reading “Invitation only…”
