• Christmas with purpose

  
  M U R P H Y 24p — Authority: 119
  I have not been a big fan of Christmas for many years, and for the life of me, I can’t really put my finger on why. People ask me the silly question, “What’s the deal, don’t you like Jesus?”. Of course I like Jesus… I’m just not a big fan of what we have done to His birthday. Somewhere along the way, all ...

  EL's Dribble — Authority: 93
  I have a lot to catch up on… a lot to share. It’s been a full few months [including just returning from India] – God is teaching me a lot. But here’s a mini-quote from Neil Cole that feeds a lot into why we do what we do. It seems at times like we are “under-structured.” Though to be frank, we can use more ...

  Over the last 10 years or so, I have had to do a lot of flying… not as much as some, but well more than others.
