About the Author

I am on a journey to see how God will use me in this messy thing called the "Church." While on that journey I have just recently moved to a new role as a Sr. Pastor. Not real sure what that means really, but God is moving and I will follow the wave as it goes.

I suck at life…

“C.S. Lewis – He notes that there is someone I love, even though I don’t approve of what he does.  There is someone I accept, though some of his thoughts and actions revolt me.  There is someone I forgive, though he hurts the people I love the most.  That person is me.  There are plenty of things I do that I do not like, but if I can love myself without approving of all I do, I can also love others without approving of all they do.”

I suck at life!  That is the very thought that is going through my head as I read and reread this paragraph written by Jud Wilhite in the book “unChristian“.  How true is this in your life?  I know for me it is so easy to forgive myself and push through the things that I am struggling with and see God’s mercy at work.  Ask me to do that to those around me and I am not so sure that I am very good at that.

This is a great thought to power us to love others as we love ourselves and to see God working in those we meet as much as we are asking Him to work in us.
