My rule has always been that you can stay up as late as you want if you are reading. My little guy gets all he can out of that one. I love watching him enjoy a good story! #LeadersAreReaders #7000days
Book Review | Everything Sad is Untrue
Fascinating read by Daniel Nayeri. In the midst of his suffering and the incredible journey Daniel’s family was on my favorite takeaway was when he peacefully pointed to the fact that “Christ is better.” This book is a powerful journey of Daniel’s quest to find his identity in the midstContinue Reading

FAITHFUL
This morning’s #MCheyeneReadingPlan led me to four passages: 1 Samuel 18 about the friendship of David and Jonathan (we all need a friend like that), Romans 16 where Paul warns us about the culture coming…that we are living in now, as well as Psalm 34 and Lamentations 3 that IContinue Reading

RHYTHMS AND TENDING
The great philosopher Ferris Bueller reminds us “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” I don’t want to miss it. Today was one for the books. It started early for the whole Strange crew hanging with dear friendsContinue Reading
LOOK UP
As we studied with @coleragsdale on our @nccseagles retreat this past week from Genesis 3, our sin causes us to look down and in. We live in a culture that encourages us to focus on ourselves. The Bible points us time and time again to the gospel and the factContinue Reading
Book Review | get your life back
get your life back by John Eldredge speaks deeply to your weary soul. How did we get here? Why do things feel like they are spinning out of control all around us? Genesis 3 gives us the first clues when we turned from God and put our attention on ourselves…andContinue Reading
Book Review | At Your Best
At Your Best by Carey Nieuwhof was a great book to wrap up the summer and kick off the school year! The principles in it will definitely go on my annual review strategy list. As the school year gets underway, lots of things will be clamoring for my attention…that makesContinue Reading

Over the past few days on our @NCCSEagles Fall Retreat, we have studied GalatiansContinue Reading
