READ MORESo, we got back Tuesday morning from two wonderful weeks away on vacation. And already I can feel the old stress wanting to creep back in. There’s a ton of stuff to get done now. I can feel the sort of gripping pain in my gut that is an old, old...
READ MORESunday night about 11pm, just after we’d fallen
asleep, somebody broke into the little house we are staying in on
Kauai. They grabbed some cash from my wallet and Stasi’s purse, took
the keys and stole the rental car.

READ MOREWe are resting on the north shore of Kauai,
drinking in beauty and quiet. Sun and rain and ocean. It’s a pastel
world, soft clouds, soft sea, soft sky.
It feels like a sort of de-tox. From the matrix we all take for

Monday night I’m driving down the road and suddenly my transmission just goes out.
I pull over (thankfully, I was on a back road) and put it in park, waited a second, put it back in drive, and off we go. I think, “Whew. Far out. Don’t know...
READ MOREI’m back home after this amazing Tour. It was beautiful, and exhausting. A marathon, and God was in it. It was demanding, and hard, but mostly it was beautiful. And filled with greater meaning. Something really important is taking place....
READ MOREA quick update from Dallas. It went
pretty well last night. Standing room only crowd and lots of eager and
open hearts to God. How beautiful. The last part of the evening each

READ MOREI was on this guys trip, sort of a men’s
retreat/fishing excursion, with a group of guys I don’t know real well.
Anyhow, the fishing was lousy and so was the weather and we were
getting pretty discouraged about that. (At least,...
I love it how the Scriptures continue to speak,
opening up new things to us all the time even after (in my case) thirty
years of reading the Bible.
I’ve spent a lot of time in the Gospel of John (its my favorite) and a

I just finished speaking in Orlando to a large
gathering of youth pastors. I was talking about hearing God. The
experience felt…a little weird. On one hand, I felt like I was speaking
on something way too simple and obvious to...
I get up first in our house. Oban, our seven month old golden retriever, gets up with me. Or usually, he’s been up for awhile and finally gets tired of waiting so he growls a few times to wake me up. Time to take a pee. I let him out, and he just...
READ MOREIts Friday. I’m on a United flight to Los Angeles, wedged between a guy
drawing cartoons on a yellow pad and a woman reading Ladies Home
Journal. I’m trying to get to Santa Barbara, and this whole trip feels
a little weird....
