On Saturday, Jerry and Priscilla invited our Going Beyond team to help serve a barbeque meal to the homeless in Dallas.  They’ve gotten to know John and Suzanne Wallace, who run Compassion House in the downtown area, and are inspired by their ministry to the poor and the young in this city.  Every third Saturday, […]

Priscilla | Dec 15, 2009

One day I hope to be a good cook. I’m talking about the kind of woman you know and admire from afar. Crisp white apron, flour scattered on her chin, smile on her face, utensils in order, the most incredible smells coming from her kitchen and not a cook book in sight. When you ask […]

But with the onslaught of rain that fell relentlessly this Autumn, and the dense tree and brush coverage that populates our […]

Why, I’d Be Delighted

Dec 14, 2009

All that talk of misery yesterday made me feel a little sorry for the people who don’t know how my mind works.  You see, I found that my day became simply delightful just because I became aware of how un-miserable things were. Let me explain further so you won’t wonder (much) why Priscilla lets me write on her blog: […]

Things to be Miserable About?

Dec 13, 2009

  There is a book near my desk that I take out whenever I need a pick-me-up. It’s right next to the Bible. Its title is, “11,002 Things to be Miserable About.” I’m kidding, the book is UNDER the Bible. Anyway, it is a parody of the popular “14,000 Things to be Happy About,” a […]

Travis Cottrell: Psalm 145 – Forever More

Dec 09, 2009

Last week, we were talking about favorite worship songs and worship artists.  One name seemed to pop up quite often: Travis Cottrell.  It just so happens that Travis leads worship for the Deeper Still and Living Proof events….and no wonder!  He and his team do an amazing job of truly leading a stadium of people […]
