Let me guess. You answered, "Good", didn't you. Why is that our answer 90% of the time.
Are you really good? If not, why do we lie to ourselves and others?
In my life, I have realized I answer "good" because either I don't have time to talk right at that moment or because I don't want you to really know that things suck right now or you really and honestly don't care how I am doing because it's just the question to ask.
If you are a Christ follower, a follower of the Way, shouldn't we tell other believers how we are really doing. Maybe they will pray for us. Maybe they have a great response that you didn't think of. Maybe they have the answer you didn't want to hear, but it's the right one.
From now on if you ask me how I am doing I hope my answer is not the resounding "good". I hope I can be honest with you and tell you the truth. Honestly, this will be a tough habit to
So, I ask the question again. How are you really doing?

Just trying to figure out where to use them and how.
What I mean by this, is, I see my self as an innovaotar and a visionary. It's just that right now, I don't really have anywhere to put this to use. I am praying about my next step in ministry and what this looks like. I really want to end up at a church or a para-church/non-profit organization.
So, if you read this, I would love some prayer. Or if you read this and have any ideas about the para-church/non-profit part let me know.
So glad election day is here. If you are over the age of 18 you need to vote. It is your civil duty and responsibility as an American. If you don't care about politics, you still need to vote.
I grew up in a very political family of mayors, city managers and county commissioners. I love politics and love that we live in a democracy and that we get to vote for who we want to run the country and vote for state propositions that mean something in our lives. If I didn't vote, my family would probably disown me, but that is not why I vote. I vote because as a follower of Christ it is very important.
If you didn't vote, I urge you to think about it next time. We should all care about politics. It's funny how you can care more about stupid things that don't matter, but not care at all about who runs our country and how it is ran. Please vote. I don't care who you vote for, just do it.
