Virgin Colors
It’s time to surrender white wedding dresses. White once signified virginal purity. A bride in white was a vessel of vestal innocence. This antiquated idea desperately needs modernization. Modern brides walk down the aisle in their 3rd trimester of pregnancy. They have their daughters serve as flower girls. Their sons are ring bearers… …or groomsmen. […]
Humiliating Truth
For the record, I don’t take it personally when my shirt is buttoned crooked, my shoe is untied, or my fly is open. Apparently, that makes me odd. More than once, I’ve had someone tell me, “I don’t want to hurt your feelings, but your fly is open.” After I zip up, the person sheepishly […]
Sensitive to My Insensitivity
Those cosmetic catalogs that come in the mail, I don’t read those. Not because cosmetics are bad. Or because I’m against eye shadow. I’m not afraid of mascara. I harbor no hatred for makeup. I’m simply disinterested. That’s it. I don’t use makeup. Never even think about it. Except for when I’m throwing away those […]
Pocket Change and Evolution
Ever found a penny on the ground? It happens from time to time. Ever found a quarter on the ground? Wonder how it got there. Someone pulls something out of a pocket… scatters change on the ground… picks up most of it but misses the quarter. Have you ever found 30,000 coins on the ground? […]
Don’t Ask This
“Tell me what’s going on in your life.” “So I’ll know how to pray for you.” Well, on your knees I suppose. Fold your hands. Maybe bow your head a little. “No. I mean so I’ll know what to pray about.” What to pray is entirely different than how to pray. Asking what to pray […]

If you expect to reach unchurched people you need to quit […]
How To Know Who To Kill
We agree that cold blooded killings should be rare, right? If driving your car into crowds of people is something you do often… …you need to be more introspective. (That means, consider your motives and thoughts.) Let’s conduct a little thought experiment. Suppose you hear that somebody intentionally drove a car into a crowd of […]
Why I Hate Hate
A friend once said, “I hate getting up in the morning.” Like Nazi hate it? He responded, “What?” The Nazi party knew how to hate. Those guys hated EVERYTHING. My guess is they probably hated getting up too. Is that how you hate it? “Uh, I dunno.” Let’s find out. Is getting up responsible for every hardship you […]
Have a Smidge of Jesus
She came out from behind her table. Took two quick steps and was standing right in front of me. “Can I ask you a question?” That was a question but I assumed she meant another one. Of course. Ask away. I’d just performed at a large ministry conference. Festive wouldn’t overstate my emotional state of […]
Honestly Dishonest
Whenever I say, “Be completely honest with me.” …I’m not being completely honest. I despise honesty. No. I take that back. I despise being honest. However, I demand honesty in others. As long as it lines up with what I believe. When I say, “Tell me what you think about this.” …I mean, “Tell me […]
