I love 80’s Sitcoms The Facts of Life, Diff’rent Strokes, Silver Spoons, Webster and Alf were some of my favorite sitcoms from the 80’s. I also liked Who’s the Boss? Who doesn’t love some Tony Danza? Okay, Alyssa Milano probably had something to do with it too. This week, I’ve been put in charge of […]
It’s so childish!
What makes a kid a kid? One of the things I love about kids is their willingness to believe. They aren’t born cynical. You tell them a big man in a red suit with a white beard riding reindeer brings presents to every person in the world in one 24 hour span…and they believe. Belief […]
Hold ’em to His Word!
Give and Take While reading through the book of Genesis this month, I’ve taken note of a constant back and forth between God and the patriarchs of Israel – Abraham, Isaac and now Jacob. It has a pattern to it: God promises. Man reminds God of His promise. God fulfills His promise. It usually doesn’t […]
I lift my eyes up.
Sister Wives It’s Valentine’s Day. I admit I’m not so good at making sure Valentine’s (and other like holiday’s) are sufficiently covered. As bad as I have it (or make it), I can’t imagine being married to 2 women, especially literal sisters. Through no fault of his own, this is where Jacob finds himself in […]
New every morning
Save me so I can praise you publicly at Jerusalem’s gates, so I can rejoice that you have rescued me. -Psalm 9:14 January 2011 On January 18, 2011 I read the above scripture verse from Psalms. I don’t remember reading it at all, but I know I did because I wrote this note/prayer: Lord lead me […]
Let’s do this thing!
The Tower Heist During my recent trip out of town, I watched the movie Tower Heist. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a comedy about a group of misfits who come together in Robin Hood fashion to take from a Wall Street mogul and distribute to those who were cheated out of their life savings. […]
What’s the Word?
Word of the Year If you have read this blog much at all, you have read the term Word of the Year.You might be wondering to yourself (and others), what is the Word of the Year? As simply as possible, the Word of the Year is a New Year’s resolution summed up in 1 word. […]
Dreamin’ BIG Dreams
Reset. It’s a new year…it’s time for a reset! Last Sunday morning, CPC focused on DREAMS. The kind of dream that gets you up in the morning. The type of dream that keeps you up at night. 3000 years ago, Solomon took over the reign of king of Israel from his father David. Imagine trying […]
2013: A Year of Transformation
The last gasps 2013 is on life-support. There are only hours left until a brand new year begins. I’ve spent the last few days contemplating what I’ve gained this year and dreaming for 2014. The last several years, my year has revolved around my Word of the Year. I’ve gained so much from this discipline […]
Be still.
All is calm… My favorite Christmas carol is Silent Night. The first 2 lines read: Silent night, Holy night All is calm, all is bright All is calm…what a picture! I don’t know about you, but during the Christmas season there aren’t many calm moments. It’s part of the power of the hymn – an […]
