Trust God's mess.

The more we trust God, the more God trusts us.

How I tolerated faith before I knew the message of holiness is beyond me.

Kingdom come has already happened.

We don't need to stare at the sun wondering what next.

Live in the kingdom and when Jesus comes back, he'll come back. It's fine.

When you are 45 wrestling college age guys, you gotta get creative. Shout out to 1984.

My daughter is playing jv soccer.

I'm learning.

Here's a thing I learned.

Offsides is probably made up.

Literally nobody knows what it is.

It wasn't walking on water that addressed Peter's doubt.

It was the sinking.

Sometimes failure is the best thing that can happen to us.

If your reading of the Word of God,
doesn't match the character of God...
try again.

One thing I've learned....

Don't fight the messiness of God.

When I allow God's mess,
I get God's best.

We can't preach to receive what we pretend we don't need.

His grace is sufficient for you.
His grace is sufficient for me, too.

Where the world sees unmanageable,
God sees beloved.

From chapel this morning

Me: What do you think Jesus did?
Kid 1: Healed him?
Kid 2: I mean, probably.

They exchange wide eyed head nods that it seems likely Jesus healed a leper & turned back to me.

Me: Yup.

Cue relieved smiles.

The veil was torn...

And here we are trying to hang flags in churches?

Noone has to pass through an ideology to approach God and we have no right to impede anyone's response to the draw of Spirit towards and deeper into grace.

'For the Lord is good & his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.'
Psalms 100:5

Faithful through generations
Faithful through generations

I see it
& when it's hard,
I trust it.

For my kids
& their kids
& their kids kids,
He won't fail.

This is such a joy 😊

The ADHD urge to stuff all of this behind a chair...

The January clean up after December at a church is an attack of the devil.
