Lincoln Only Wants Pennies & That’s Just Fine
Lincoln is one of our pastors’ kids. He’s three years old and stinkin’ cute.
The other day I heard him say in a concerned voice, “Where’s my pennies?” His mom helped him find his little penny collection and Lincoln quickly stuffed them in his front pocket with a pleased look on his face.
Watching the whole exchange, I thought, “That’s fun. Lincoln must be learning about money and wants to make sure he’s carrying some with him all the time. Cute – he’s participating in the economy.”
I decided to give him some pennies to add to his collection – so I went to my office in search of spare change… Read More
Love Has Won
I believe nothing has the power to separate us from God’s love.

Men Need To Hear What Women Have To Say (Why Patriarchy Is Still A Problem)
Patriarchy has been around forever – and it is still here today.
According to Webster:
Patriarchy is… social organization marked by the supremacy of the father in the clan or family, the legal dependence of wives and children, and the reckoning of descent and inheritance in the male line; control by men of a disproportionately large share of power.
Or basically, “The dudes make all the important decisions, and the women quietly submit to them.”
Of course, much has changed in Western society – but around the world and within the church, many (dudes) are still clinging to patriarchy. In the news this week a story of 100+ school girls being kidnapped by Islamic extremists in Nigeria is a jarring reminder of what’s at the heart of patriarchy… Read More
Chuza’s Wife
I wouldn’t want to live in a world without women.
Really.
Without women, the world would be a (more) smelly, messy, harsh, and violent place.
OK, maybe that’s a broad generalization. But seriously, women do make the world a better place… Read More
