Are you sure?

We always say we want to hear from God. That sounds good, right? But, are you sure you want to hear from God?
Steven Furtick has a good post about when God calls you and you really don’t want to answer. It’s not always easy following God’s call. If it was easy, everyone would do it.

Mutant iPhones

I’ll be carrying my iPhone on Halloween, but I won’t look quite like this.

Graceful

This verse speaks of God’s grace towards us. I started thinking about things that I should show more grace about. At the end of the day so many things happen that really don’t matter, but we still freak out about them.
How many times have my kids done something easily fixable that really didn’t deserve much [...]

Wii quest complete

I happened to be in Target and found a shiny new Nintendo Wii sitting on the shelf. I’ve been searching for one for about a month. The boys have been wanting one so I thought I’d get one now instead of waiting until right before Christmas when everyone will be fighting over them.
So my Christmas [...]

Pastor Appreciation Month

Did you know October is Pastor Appreciation Month? I didn’t until yesterday when Tony called the staff on stage and presented us with some gift cards to some of our favorite restaurants.
We’ve been involved with Legacy for a couple of month’s now, but we’ve really only been here for about two weeks. We’re still discovering [...]

WhyKEA?

Thursday night we had our first visit to an IKEA store. Becca needed a new desk, so we thought we’d give it a try. We arrived five minutes before closing (who closes at nine these days?). We quickly found the desk she liked and asked for it.
“Here is the print out, sir, just head to [...]

Happy birthday, Mom

Today is my Mom’s birthday. I’m not good a math, but I think she’s like 32.
I hope you have a great birthday. (Assuming you read this on Thursday, if not, have a great day after birthday.)

The new guy

Please continue to pray for Colton while he’s at school. I think he is doing ok, but no one likes being the new guy.
I’m 27-year-old and for the first time in a while I get to be the new guy too. I don’t like it any better now than I did in school. Granted I’m [...]

The long road home

Yesterday was my first day traveling back to Stephenville for business. I have to do it again tomorrow. Driving there wasn’t so bad. Driving home, however, seemed like it took forever. I was tired and really just wanted to be back with my family.
But as I was driving along and considering complaining, it occurred to [...]

The verge

I feel like we may be on the verge of something big at Legacy.
You can always tell you are about to have something big because Satan likes to use small things to try and derail it. It’s just his style.
Small things happen. Sometimes it’s emotionally draining to deal with them, but you have to while [...]

Capital campaign done right

I flat out love the way Elevation Church kicked off their capital campaign. Amazing.
What an amazing way to not only teach the members about generosity, but also to bless the community in a huge way.
UPDATE: As I read more an more on the site, I was amazed at the number of people who not only [...]
