My Friday, tidy office is mysteriously messy by Monday. Here’s what I found today: 1. 12ft extension cord – A brand new, white, classic extension cord. I have no idea why this was in my office, so I suspect a conspiracy… Was it you??? Come on, people. Fess up! 2. A giant food container forContinue reading “Extension Cord, Cake Container, Xbox 360, Jr. Church Papers – The Monday Messy Office Report – March 31, 2014”

The “D” Word
I hate the “D” word. I also hate the “A” word. They are very similar, and they are both painful. Discipline and Accountability. (Those are the words you thought I was talking about, right?) This week as we continue our study of 1st Corinthians, Paul continues confronting the Christians in the church of Corinth. Interestingly,Continue reading “The “D” Word”

What do you do when a leader messes up?
People talk about leaders a lot. We love to evaluate them and discuss how good, or how bad they are. They are more public, and so when they mess up, the mess up is usually known to a lot of people. Today’s new is filled with President Obama’s slip-up on an Aretha Franklin song. Tomorrow’sContinue reading “What do you do when a leader messes up?”
