  Is your scheduled church service being impacted by recommendations and decisions to not meet under the efforts of social distancing? This corona virus or Covid-19 as it’s also known is wreaking havoc on what we consider normal life in America. Churches are being encouraged to close their doors and live stream their services to their congregations. We all know there are plenty of small, country churches where this just isn’t going to work. As a friend of mine on Facebook suggested, as entertaining as it would be to see Ethel sitting in her pew and trying to live stream the service and us gettingRead More →

DAN, DAN THE MOVIEMAN: THE ABSOLUTE WORST OF 2019 OK, I promised this so I’m delivering it. Hate to be negative, but maybe my awful use of time can save you some time watching films that will only disappoint. But before I get to that list, a quick note on some new films that just recently hit theaters. 1917 – It’s great. Go see it. Bigger screen the better. Got some rough language, but incredible movie. JUST MERCY – Good. NOT great. The story is very compelling, but the language threw me and Brie Larson was terrible. Sorry, but what did she (as both anRead More →

This past week I had someone come up to me and say “wow, you are so lucky. You carry so much wisdom and joy for your young age.” While most people would take this as a compliment, say thank you and walk away, this hit different. I walked away wondering to myself if they thought I just stumbled upon this life I’m living now. If they see my life and think it’s always looked like this. “You are so lucky” Why am I lucky? I don’t look at my life and think “Wow, I’m the luckiest person in the world!” If anything, it’s honestly quiteRead More →

From the Editor: Introductions! I’m happy to announce that a good friend of mine that has an absolute love and passion for movies has agreed to let me republish his thoughts on the movies he sees. He normally posts on Facebook, but I think his thoughts deserve a wider audience. He set a goal to see 250 different movies in the theater in 2019 and exceeded that goal. I believe his insights and thoughts on the films that are released are both entertaining, challenging sometimes and thought-provoking. Although we may not always agree on our thumbs-up/down ratings, I always agree that the thoughts he sharesRead More →

While trying to take a photo in the middle of the road this car came around the corner and almost hit me. I starting laughing when I saw myself staring them down and then I began to examine the picture a little closer. God began to speak four words over me: STAY IN YOUR LANE. I’m in a transitional season of life and while this concept is difficult no matter where you’re at, it’s especially difficult in a season of change and waiting. You look around at the calling on other people’s live and begin to ask yourself, “maybe that’s what I’m supposed to doRead More →
