Fill In The Blank.

Yesterday was my first experience with Willowcreek’s Leadership Summit. It’s awesome so far. Thanks for asking. I’ve already heard from Carli Fiorina (former CEO of Hewlett Packard), Bill Hybels (founding pastor of Willowcreek and head of the Willowcreek Association), Marcus Buckingham, (author, writer, consultant, business owner, President of the New World Order–just kidding, but he […]

“Ok, I’ll log that away…BUT I’M STILL SCARED!”

Ok, ok, I admit it, I really haven’t said much about the old, “Fear of rejection” thing. Wanna know why? Doesn’t matter, I’m going to tell you anyway. It’s because, even though I’ve felt it plenty of times myself, I always come back to the truth that that fear is from the evil one and […]

Confessions of a Former Adrenaline Junkie

Hi, my name is Rob Singleton and I’m an adrenaline junkie. At least I used to be. To continue, my ego would have to keep writing checks my body can no longer cash!

Tacky Day

This morning my 8 year old daughter came down the stairs and declared that it was officially, ‘Tacky Day.’ It got me thinking. Is it just me (probably — usually is), or does it seem like a lot of Religious people (and, yes, sadly some naive Christians as well — come to think of it, […]

Got Blog?

I don’t know if you realize this or not, but some of my favorite blogs to read are from a few of our own Southbrook folks. I say, “a few” because that’s all I’m aware of. But it seems hardly a week goes by that I don’t hear about someone else throwing their blog hat […]

When it comes to light, most of us are like Gollem.

  You know what? I just can’t find much redeeming about this character. I know Frodo seemed to see something in Him, but, then again, Frodo seemed to get sucked in by just about anything. He was a bit naïve, even for a hobbit. But when it comes to tenacity, Gollem is hard to beat. […]
