Lead with your ears, follow up with your tongue, and let anger straggle along in the rear. God’s righteousness doesn’t grow from human anger. In simple humility, let our gardener, God, landscape you with the Word.

- James
(I love that last line; If you want anything inside of you to change, let God landscape you with the Word. You’ve got to work it in, till it, plow it, seed it.)
I feel alive today. The air feels a bit colder when I breathe it in. It seems a little easier to smile. I don’t really know why.
Last night was a great time hanging out with the worship department. I don’t know if I can communicate clearly enough how thankful I am for them, and how much fun I’ve had with them, and how great they have made my life over the last 2+ years. I’m excited for Jeremy to get to experience what I’ve had, and I’m excited for them to know Jeremy more.
I played Settlers of Catan for the first time last night. After the meeting the Stovers hung out and taught us how to play. (This was after the Disney sing-a-long that Es and Caleb lead us in.)
I just feel lucky. Blessed. Thankful. Whatever you want to call it, I’m just really seeing how good God has been to us, and I’m increasingly confident of how good he’ll be to us in the future.
Every good and perfect gift…

This is so perfect. @PhillipHarder didn’t even believe that these were real women. He thought it was scripted.
This is awesome. And here is a cool video about the process. It’s pretty crazy how layered this piece is.
Day 8.
Today is the 8th day in a row that I’ve specifically taken time aside to read, meditate, pray, and write.
If you’re a Christian, I don’t need to tell you this is something that “you should do.” You’ve heard it. I’m not writing it here to brag or try and impress you with my spirituality.
In fact, I write it here because I feel like an ass. I know that 20 year old me needed to know that pastors don’t have it together either.
I’m 29. I’m a pastor. I am still struggling to make this a daily habit.
That being said…it’s been delightful. I can honestly say that. I’ve read a few verses each day and written my thoughts down about those verses. I can tell you what I read about last Monday. That has never happened.
I’m not on a spiritual high - I’m just excited to be spending more time with Jesus, and I’m excited to learn more about myself in the process.
