Stonebriar Community Church just hosted the 2020 Frisco Big Pack. It’s now an annual tradition where we pack over a million meals to be sent out to impoverished folks somewhere in the world. At this point the people at Feed My Starving Children don’t even know where the food we packed today (as I write… Continue reading A Crying Child

The Choice Was Mine
Saturday, March 3rd, was full. It was going to take 24 hours of my life no matter how I used those fleeting hours. With the end of the month two days prior my budget was at its usual low ebb. There’s money in the bank to cover the rent…if nothing hits before it posts on… Continue reading The Choice Was Mine
Personal Reflections About Our 20 Year Old Church
Stonebriar Community Church celebrated its 20th anniversary as a church on October 14, 2018. That afternoon I recorded some personal reflections about my time at this remarkable church filled in incredible folks. I hope you watch my eight and a half minute video and get inspired to be Jesus to the least of these in… Continue reading Personal Reflections About Our 20 Year Old Church
Little Hugs From Jesus
My summer of toddlers 2018 is almost over. I think there’s one more week officially before the kiddos graduate to the next class…or down the hallway at least. There’s a part of me that wants to keep coming back every week for the rest of my life, but I know I need adult interaction more… Continue reading Little Hugs From Jesus
What’s On Your Bucket List?
Let me begin by saying I firmly believe that it’s the role of the Holy Spirit to bring a person to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Only God’s Spirit can speak to someone’s spirit on the level of conviction required for life change. I also believe that, as Christ’s followers, it’s up to us… Continue reading What’s On Your Bucket List?
I Want to be FAT
How many new year’s resolutions are based on folks losing weight? Too many in my opinion. If somebody really wants to become lighter they’ll change their lifestyle no matter what time of year it is. If someone, on the other end of the scale, wants to gain weight all they have to do is eat… Continue reading I Want to be FAT
I Saw Jesus Today
After my encounter with a homeless man in January, which you can read about here, I began to think about ways Jesus shows up in everyday life. By keeping Matthew 25:31-46 in mind I came up with four scenarios. Writing stories comes in many forms. Full length books are the most common way people think… Continue reading I Saw Jesus Today
Thank You Father
Gratitude, gratefulness, thanksgiving…all themes with the same goal. Appreciation for what we have over desires for what we want. Sounds good, so why is so hard to keep it in practice? Just some thoughts to ponder during this holiday week. I’m sharing another poem I wrote a couple of years ago for Thanksgiving. It doubles… Continue reading Thank You Father
The Fruit of the Spirit Prayer
Today I’m sharing with you the compilation prayer that ends the chapter of the Fruit of the Spirit from my book 100 Prayers of a Writer. I’m very pleased how well this prayer came together. I find myself needing its message frequently. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,… Continue reading The Fruit of the Spirit Prayer
A Dr. Seuss-ish Post
I have some opening lines in my head. They seem a bit like something Dr. Seuss would write so this could get interesting. I guess I’m letting y’all into a writer’s brain for a change…this writer’s brain anyway. Here goes… What if a dog and a frog sat on a log? Would there still be… Continue reading A Dr. Seuss-ish Post
