Being Made More Fully Alive

A couple of weeks ago I finished John Ortberg’s The Me I Want To Be. I LOVE this book. It got me thinking, brought clarity to the cloudiness, answered questions I didn’t know I was asking, and offered peace to replace some of my stirring. My copy is all marked-up with underlines and notes of promptings […]

Free Stuff, Take 3

I’ll go ahead and admit it. I am a huge Don Miller fan. I love EVERYTHING I’ve read that he has written. And I love EVERYTHING I’ve heard him say. His words simply resonate. I read Blue Like Jazz when I was in my late twenties and pretty skeptical of the religious rigamarole. Don’s candor […]

Today is the Day

Today is the day. Today is the day we all have been waiting for, or at least the day I have been waiting for. Today is the official release date for my pastor and Thomas Nelson author Pete Wilson’s debut book Plan B. Have you ever had a shattered dream? An unmet expectation? A failed plan? […]

The “Is that contestant on American Idol a Christian?” Scorecard

Today I am participating in Jon Acuff’s ginormous guest post tour. Don’t know who Jon Acuff is? You should. He is hilarious. He is smart. He is a Christian. And he makes fun of Christians.

Now, Discover Your Strengths

(Check out Spence talking about them here and Jenni talking about them here.) Here’s more information about StrengthsFinder from Strengths.Gallup.Com “Hide not your talents. […]

I soaked up a vast array of knowledge from Chris Brogan (literally I took six pages […]

Legacies You Want to Leave Behind

Last Christmas when I was in Texas with my family, we went to this A-MAZ-ING independent bookstore in Plano, Legacy Books. Legacy Books was the kind of bookstore where you get lost in books. You wander around for hours and discovering new authors, exciting adventures, and gourmet recipes. You sip on lattes while browsing through […]

Hurt People, Hurt People

This Spring in my Crosspoint Community Group, we have been studying a book called Emotionally Healthy Spirituality by Peter Scazzero. Big title, right? It’s a big study too. It is the kind of book that makes you dig deep, ask tough questions, and work through your issues – and let’s face it we all have […]

The Noticer Project

“The Noticer Project is a worldwide movement to “notice” five of the most influential people in your life! Noticing those five people can be as private (just a letter or email) or as public (posting to your Facebook page or joining The Noticer Project Facebook group) as you choose, but the movement is meant to […]
