The Lobby of Hampton Inn
There are days when life feels like the lobby of a Hampton Inn during a cheer competition weekend. Noise. Requests. Chaos.
And I'm the tired front-desk clerk trying to act like I have more rooms than I actually do.
Then this line from the ...
A Haunting Question
We begin the week with a confession:
we have confused kindness with compliance.
Somewhere along the way, the voice of love got tangled up in the voice of obligation, and we started calling our exhaustion “generosity.” We wore ourselves ...
“Let It Be” isn’t always what we signed up for ….
Scripture: Luke 1:38
“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it be to me according to your word.”
Most of us love the idea of surrender…
until it’s our life that’s spinning in a direction we did not choose.
Mary’s famous line ...
The Frat House Moments
Scripture: Matthew 1:23
“They will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God with us’).”
When Tom travels, the house… shifts.
I wouldn’t call it a disaster zone.
It’s more of a “light frat house situation.”
Nothing ...
No Slinking Away
Scripture: Matthew 1:19
“Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.”
Have you ever been standing in a line somewhere — Costco, Target, ...
The Real Story Under the Filter
"Am I the Grinch?" if I feel like I didn't sign up for this? That life is messy, I'm frustrated, and I don't quite know how to proceed?
Scripture: Luke 1:29
“Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this ...
Frank Vulnerability
Sunday, while preaching, I had a millisecond moment.
That time when truth, vulnerability, heart, and words intersected.
A little background info . . .
As you know, I don't preach from a manuscript.
I do lots of deep work into the ...
Shut up and swim!
One of my favorite moments in Finding Nemo is when Dory—sweet, forgetful, slightly chaotic Dory—looks at Marlin having a full-on panic spiral and chirps, “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming…”
It’s funny because it shouldn’t work.
And ...
What a thing to yell out loud…
"They kept their distance, but raised their voices..." - Luke 17:12-13
Imagine standing before anyone who comes near you, shouting over and over: "Unclean! Unclean! Unclean!" The Mosaic law required it.
Torn clothing to signal your ...
Behavior is a Language
I sat on the couch Wednesday night, phone in hand, trying to figure out how to say “thank you.” You’d think writing a simple birthday post wouldn’t be that big of a deal. But apparently, for me? It was.
An hour went by—no exaggeration—as I ...
Even though the adage, “Practice Makes Perfect” bites…
Forgive me if you’ve heard this story.
I started playing piano when I was four.
It mattered to my mom—she played and directed the church choir before I was born.
So even with tiny hands and short fingers, I learned.
The first time I ...
Speaking Two Truths – Even When One is Hard
Before anything else today, we pause to say thank you.
To every Veteran…
To every active service member…
To every family whose lives have been shaped by the service of their loved ones,
we are profoundly grateful.
Our ...
