Just Hit Record

Some people believe the church just wants your money.  Why they believe that might be more about unintentional miss management of the money the Church does have and less about greed.  I think the church should think more about meeting the community IN the community.  They have a responsibility to become the community through the marketplace.

You might think the grass is greener on the other side but a lot of the time that's just a perception.  The grass isn't a reflection of all that money the entrepreneur is making.  Working for yourself is hard and working for the man is hard.  Working is hard and that's why it's called work.

But .. if you are wired to do your own thing I recommend you go for it in your "off" hours and stick to it!

I've had a life long struggle with pornography.  From the first time I saw it as a teenager I wanted to see more.  After awhile the bits I saw weren't enough, I needed raunchier and more graphic stuff to make my mind spin.  Now, some 34 years later, I am close to being sober.  

You may think pornography is a safe way to experience intimacy.  It's not, it isn't safe or intimate.

Putting people on pedestals is bag business.  I put Carl Lentz on one and boom, he failed me (and the rest of the world).  Now Brian Houston is in hot water.  People are people and they are going to let us down, it is that simple.  So let's all stop putting them up on pedestals.

I have a physical place that has only brought me joy in my life.  Every single memory is happy.  I'm smiling in every single photograph.  All the relationships I still have and that I can recall are wonderful ones.  That place is Black Lake Bible Camp in Olympia, Washington.

I am trying to give Los Whittaker a clothing line.  An already built company.  A dope apparel brand that fits perfectly with his personal brand.  The problem?  He won't get back to me.  So, I am going to type his name, Carlos Whittaker, into this description enough times that it pops up in his Google Alerts.  (that is assuming that Los Whit has set up Google alerts).  Then, if he see's this he might listen to this daily audio blog and get back to me.  Oh yeah, and we're also trying to give the company to his wife Heather Whittaker.

I've been a dad for 13 years.  The best and hardest and most anxiety inducing 13 years of my life.  I wouldn't trade it for anything.  My kids are incredible human beings and I am grateful for them.
