The local church is the hope of the world. There is nothing like the local church when it’s working right. Its beauty is indescribable. Its power is breathtaking. Its potential is unlimited. It comforts the grieving and heals the broken in the context of community. It builds bridges to seekers and offers truth to the [...]

On Friday night, Heather and I had a chance to hang out with two amazing couples from NORTHchurch. We had a great night talking, laughing, swapping stories, and eating pizza at The Wedge Pizzeria. However, the highlight of my night was when Luke & Mackenzie’s English bulldog, Amos, came out wearing his protective eye-wear. Ladies [...]

(ORIGINALLY POSTED AUGUST 25, 2008 WITH SOME REVISIONS) Oh, the first day of school! Picking out the perfect outfit. Sporting the coolest backpack. Hoping you have friends in every class. Deciding between going with a 0.5 or 0.7 mechanical pencil. Breaking the habit of sleeping till 1:30 in the afternoon. Trying to figure out the [...]
