Politics and Religion

You know the old saying…the two topics you can’t talk about in a crowd are religion and politics. Well, today, I want to put an end to that. And I’m proud to say that BLOGGER.COM, the company that hosts this blog, this piece of outstanding American journalism, has the courage to let me [...]

6 Days of Nothin’

Sorry it’s been 6 days without a fresh post. It’s amazing how much the final week of the TV season will take out of you!
Actually, spent the past 2 days in Ohio visiting friends and family. Gotta tell ya…It’s been 19 months since we moved from Dayton (the “Paris” of the midwest). [...]

24

It’s the day after the big season finale of 24. If you’ve been living in Tibet for the past 6 years and aren’t familiar with the premise of 24, the entire season takes place over a 24 hour period, one hour every week. And, once again, Jack Bauer escaped kidnappers, saved the girl, killed the [...]

"Bring a Friend" Thoughts

This week is a huge event at our church, Life Pointe. It’s “Bring a Friend Day” on sunday, and it should be a great day.
Once again, the upcoming service makes me think of days gone by…to a simpler time. A time when a young lad growing up on the “mean streets” of Dayton, Ohio [...]

Goodbye to Rev. Falwell

Mom’s Day

Wow! What a great day for Life Pointe Church! The message was inspiring, the worship music was awesome, and the graphics stole the show! (Okay…maybe stole the show is an exaggeration…just given myself some props!)
186 people in attendance…wow! Not bad for starting 4 1/2 months ago w/only 50 or 60!
Now, on to my favorite part [...]

Mother’s Day Prep

Ahhh, Mom….the woman who was in labor for 312 hours with me (I’m not sure, but I think the time increases every time I hear the story).
As I prepare for this week’s special Moms Day Service, I think back to my own childhood with my Mom. All the sacrifices she made…the times she gave [...]

Derby Day Water Handout

Well, today is the day. The biggest day of the year in Louisville…The Kentucky Derby. And we thought it would be cool as a church (Life Pointe) to hand out water to people entering Churchill Downs. And it was…we handed out over 1200 bottles of water, and a lot of breakfast bars.
It was kind of [...]

Priorities

This week’s message at Life Pointe will be on “Priorities.” That’s cool, except I just don’t know where to begin. (That joke will never get old this week!)
It’s kind of cool getting a sneak peak at Jamey’s message 4 or 5 days before it’s delivered because it gives some extra time for self-reflection, which makes [...]
