Merry Christmas Everyone

by John on December 25, 2010 in Church, Disney, Friends, Personal with 1 Comment

I spend a lot of time in the Magic Kingdom.  It’s the “Happiest Place on Earth.” And at Christmas, there is no better place to be…it truly is magical.

At Christmas, Disney goes ALL OUT and decorates every inch of the 4 parks and numerous resorts.  It’s unbelievable.  And I could spend every day of my life in that magical place…

But today is about the birth a a child, in a far away place.  Born to a poor family.  And He would be the Savior of this world.  Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God.  He would live a perfect, sinless life, giving and serving those who He came to save.  And they, in turn, would nail Him to a tree, to die a sinner’s death.

And He died to save each and every one of us.  And He went to prepare a place for us…in His kingdom.  And as AMAZING as any kingdom that Walt Disney can make…  Can you imagine what God can do you?  Merry Christmas.

I’m Done

I’ve come to a place in my life where I believe that I’m really over myself.

I’ve had so many conversations with people, friends, leaders, pastors, counselors, and people on the street about life and living that I’ve come to this conclusion:  I need to pull my head out of my own ass. (Apologies to all my Christian brothers and sisters)

I found this video and thought that I needed to heed it’s invitation.

So, as of today, May 1, I am Fasting from Negativity, in my words, thoughts, and my every day life.

“I am not my own, I am bought with a price, I belong to God. I choose to grow in and put on love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,and self-control.” -Trevor H. Lund

SO…I’m done.  I’m done with the negative thoughts, negative words, negative actions, and the negative self-condemnation.  I’m done with it all.  I know I will stumble, but over the next 40 day, with God’s grace and strength, I will succeed in fasting from negativity.

I am asking for your prayers, your grace, and support.  This is a HUGE undertaking for me.  But I do not walk this path alone…I have the Holy Spirit to guide, Jesus to sustain, God to empower, and people to walk with me.

I WILL do this.  I have to…

Book Review: Crazy Love

by John on July 9, 2009 in Books, Reviews with No comments

Forget what I said earlier, Crazy Love is THE most dangerous book in America!  But I do believe that Francis Chan and Craig Groeschel were either separated at birth or are psychically linked.  Their 2 books, It and Crazy Love are an amazing 1-2 punch to today’s apathetic and lukewarm churches.
