Nigeria (Day Two – September 4)
Arrived as scheduled on Thursday at around 11:00 a.m. Nigeria time…6:00 a.m. home time. And, I must admit, it was a long trip. We were met at the airport by a wonderful pastor from Abuja, William Okoye. He’s doing a great work here. He and some members of his team supported us tremendously in getting [...]

Birthday Thoughts on Change
Okay, so today’s my birthday. And, of course, the people who love me most have been hammering me about how old I’m getting. But, here’s the weird deal. It honestly doesn’t bother me…yet.

Bragging on God and NorthRidge
Psalm 98:1a – “Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things.” This Psalm was part of my time in God’s Word this morning, and it motivated me to “blog for the Lord a new blog, for He has done marvelous things.” Corny yes! But, come on. It is an acceptable [...]

Caged Birds Don't Fly (Part 4)
Final thoughts from my vacation about the value of time away. Thought #5: It gives me greater traction in my leadership and communication. I liken this to driving a car on ice or snow. When you start to spin the tires, you’ve got to let up on the gas in order to reestablish traction. The same [...]
