A response to “Southbrook Urban Legend #3” Hey gang, check this thing out. Yes, you’ll be hearing a lot more from me with this cool little widget! And don’t bother begging for mercy, I feed on that sort of stuff being the sadistic pastor that I am. It will only make me talk all the […]

Guest Blogger: Clayton King

Remember this guy? It was one of Bill Cosby’s characters called Fat Albert. He was hilarious. For about 4 months of my oldest son’s life, he lost the ability to stop eating. There was no shut-off mechanism. He could not ever feel full. He was never satisfied. We had to pry food out of his […]

Southbrook Urban Legends, Part 2

Urban Legend #2: The teaching just isn’t deep there anymore now that they’ve switched the focus to lost people. This one would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. About a year and a half ago I made the decision to go even deeper on the weekends, use more scripture and share more stories from […]

Descending into greatness, part 3

It was the Best of Times, It was the Worst of Times. Some people are just naturally mean spirited.   The above title (if not the actual book) has always fascinated me. How could you look back at a year (or several years) and declare it was both the best year and the worst year? […]

California Fires

An Eternal Perspective I’m from California — born and somewhat raised. It’s difficult to see the devastation and loss these many fires are causing. I thought about this, and family and so forth this morning. Most of my friends and family know the Lord, so some may encounter temporary loss, but this puts a whole […]
