Scattered thoughts, loosely organized.
Faith
- If you’re a conservative Christian and conservative voter, which provides the greater thrill: salvation of souls, or Hobby Lobby’s win against the mandate?
- Does making disciples enter your day to day life? If so, what intentional steps do you take to encourage others to come to Christ or grow in Him?
- Is spiritual growth a difficult thing for you to get excited about? Remember the joy of your salvation in Christ, the fruit of His work in your life.
Random
- I heard KFC is dropping the colonel from its advertising and branding. Sounds goofy to me. KFC without the old guy’s picture would be like Wendy’s without Wendy.
- I put in a LOT of work on some regular maintenance on my van last week and saved $90 off a quoted price. I know, I could have saved more if I did it myself, but I don’t have the time for that!
Family
- This summer is going by at a decent pace. It’s been very enjoyable on a number of levels.
- How often do you pray for your children? I’m sure I mention this from time to time here, but I just can’t express the trust I feel when I ask God over and over again to make the most of their lives. Really, it isn’t about me.
Church
- I will remember VBS 2013 for a long time. I was really, really proud of our church and its willingness to reach out to some amazing kids and their families during the week of VBS.
Sports
- I am preparing for October baseball – without the Yankees. It’s going to take a huge turnaround, and I just don’t see that happening.
- Ohio State kicking someone off their football team because of involvement with legal trouble? Tressel never did that. Did he?
