The meek get a bad rap, but do we have it wrong? Meek means tamed or better yet channeled strength. Submission to God is power and beauty.
Jesus in your boat.
Jesus has called you up to greater things. Those things are probably exciting but scary too. Good news, Jesus is in your boat!
Called up to Greater Things
You‘ve been picked out and invited in by Jesus, but the best news is you‘ve also been called up to greater things. Now, who will you call up?
The Promise of Delight
Joy can be found immediately. Delight in God may take years. However in time the delight is immense because my heart is now God’s heart.
From Nothing to Something
Close your eyes… No seriously, participate in this little action with me. You can’t close your eyes (and still read this) but imagine nothing.

I Hate Christian Laettner. Saturday night I watched the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary, “I Hate Christian Laettner.” I was fascinated by the sub-culture surrounding one person, and specifically the hate directed at him.
