- Why is the message of salvation so much more readily received than Jesus message? I think because many in the church believes the message of salvation only cost Jesus something - not us. The message of Jesus Himself costs both Himself and us. There is no passivity. We join Jesus in His redeeming work - hard work. We'd rather have the salvation message and look for the blessings the church promises because we are now in. It's all about the cost & somewhere along the way we've cheapened Jesus story & sacrifice. We've misplaced the invitation.
- I feel Jesus speaking into my life - ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you.
- Report cards today. I reminded each of my kids that it's not about the marks - I love 'em period. The marks were good just the same!
- I hope the Flyers don't botch this one up - they have to make the playoffs - please!
- My thoughts are with friends tonight after coffee this afternoon & sad news of relational difficulties.
- Porn - such a shame - youth deserve a chance.
- Shared some of my story today. Didn't realize how wounded I still am. I received some encouraging words. It sucks to have been the one to rip the bandage off - that's never fun. Maybe someday I'll throw up my account of how it all went down.
- Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution - still one of the greats.
- Mmmm, delicious cookie!

Dude - that statement is destined to become a classic.
