A collection of thoughts from my earliest years online. Healthy things grow. In leaving this anthology online, my hope is to document growth as well as to echo timeless truths. As you process these years of my life, please read with that proper perspective. We all grow and until we're with the Lord, we are all still growing.

7 practices
I've started to read Andy Stanley's book (with Reggie Joyner and Lane Jones) called "7 Practices of Effective Ministry". What I love about this book so far is the simplicity with which it's written. The first half (which I finished very quickly) is a story of how a young (mid-30's) Pastor learns of these 7 practices. It's an interesting story with an attractive narrative that most any young Pastor would love to be a part of.
I enjoy reading but I really enjoy reading when the text is concise and make sense. Books don't have to give you a headache to be "deep" (whatever that means). Reading (and enjoying) this book reminds me as a Pastor to work on presenting messages in the same manner.
Get the book: 7 practices book
Okay, I'm out now. Going to watch the end of '24'.
