“I guess we’re big and I guess we’re small If you think about it man you know we got it all Cause we’re all we got on this bouncing ball And I love you free, I love you freely Here’s a riddle for you Find the Answer There’s a reason for the world You and I…” – The Riddle (Five for Fighting)
In Case You Missed it…
Here are my favorite posts of the week… – Gary hit it hard on his advice to church planters. Dang! – Todd had this post about the types of friends a Pastor needs. So true! – Scott’s post about people coming and going from church was amazing!

Hitting Home Runs with Your Family
If you’re a baseball fan, then you know Mike Hargrove, manager of the Seattle Mariners resigned last week. Peter Gammons shared this on his ESPN weekly column: “According to sources, he told general manager Bill Bavasi, clubbies and players that he’s been in the business for 35 years, and that when he was in Cleveland recently he realized that he never saw his children grow up and now is missing his grandchildren growing up.” I read this and tears welled up as I thought about how heartbreaking this is. I never want to look back and think that I traded … Read More
It isn’t the 4th of July without…

Bill shares some great stories from his own life and from those he has met in his travels to … Read More
Some Thoughts…

I mean I get there, the whirlwind of conversations, preaching, praying, meeting, greeting, praying, preaching… and then it’s over. I don’t remember Sunday mornings going by as fast as they have lately. Maybe I’m just getting old 🙂 – I still haven’t seen the channel 10 interview. People are coming out of the woodwork to tell me they saw it. My neighbors saw it. They thought it was the coolest thing ever! I’ll let you know… – Talked about God’s will today. I don’t know if … Read More
