A new day for Nook
The Nook HD+ is on sale this week and Nook has really upped it’s game. This 9 inch tablet has 16 gb storage and just added the full Google Play store! I now have a full tablet without the huge price. This is a real treat for me, since I have had a Nook for two years now.

Prayers for the Day
Collect of the Day: Sixth Sunday of Easter O God, you have prepared for those who love you such good things as surpass our understanding: Pour into our hearts such love towards you, that we, loving you in all things and above all things, may obtain your promises, which exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ our Lord,…

You can have my job!
You want my job? You can have it! Not because I’m done with it. Not by a long shot. I love what I do. I get to teach college students as an adjunct faculty member. This past Friday was graduation and it was a bittersweet time of joy and the knowledge that my time with some of these great students was now over.…

Graduation Day
It’s Commencement for North Central University, where I teach as an adjunct. This class represents a significant number of students I have known their entire college career.

Anthony Bradley takes a swing at the terms “missional” and “radical” and calls it the “new legalism.” Just when I was…

Let’s go on a journey
For my church, I am planning the summer schedule. Last summer we went on an incredible journey through the New Testament. Several asked about the Old Testament. Since the Old Testament is quite a bit longer, I’ve been thinking about a couple of things and would love your thoughts ESPECIALLY if you are a part of our church. 1. A…

The Care of the WHOLE
I am continuing a series on Acts and the Holy Spirit this Sunday. As I reflect on Acts 4:32 to Acts 6:8 as a unit, I think to how we have made Christianity such a dichotomy in the western Church. For Pentecostals, I’ve grown up with everything about Christianity being about “soul winning.” It’s about saving souls. When other “liberal”…
