Spiritual Gifts

Around 2002 or 2003 I was having some questions. I actually don't even remember what my issue was but I do remember a couple of conversations I had with a man who I had grown to love as a good friend. His name is Bob Quinn and during this time he was serving in the …

Friends

Over the last 7 years or so I've done a lot of talking about freinds and being a friend. And I always felt I was falling short in some way. As if I couldn't really say what I meant because I didn't have words that described what I actually meant. Most of this conversation was …

What do I believe?

I have been working with a coach over the last 4 weeks. I have 9 weeks to go I believe. I hired this coach because I have felt a little stuck and overwhelmed in my business and in some parts of my life. I expected that he would help me to set up systems and …

The Sifting

I've been thinking about sifting and what it means. Until recently I had thought it was removing the undesirable parts (aka people) from the church. So I was looking at the people who I thought weren't choosing the correct things or weren't living the way God would want them to live. Basicly I was being …
