Sinners, Deserts, and Some Radical Love

“Guilt went looking for my past but all it found was love.And I’ve been transformed.” Or, to be a little more accurate, I’ve been transforming. That’s kind of been God’s theme for my life this past year. Oh and has it been incredible. As most of you know, I spent last July in Africa. I don’t know why, because looking back, I wanted to know Jesus desperately, but did I know Him? Maybe a little bit. But not enough to go out to the desert for Him. So as I look back, I start to wonder how I got there. I wonder if I knew Him just enough for Him to pull me...

We go through the months of the year, the days of the week, simple conversation pieces. When there’s nothing else, the Cupid Shuffle takes a turn. We spend two days singing, dancing, and explaining. Repeating and...

Where He Brought Me

“Pay attention.”“To what?”“To your life.Push a little deeper. Run a little faster. Dance a little longer. Laugh a little louder.Get the freak out of your comfort zone because out in the waves, that’s where life happens. That’s where I’m going to do the stuff you can’t imagine right now but I can’t do a thing until you’re out there so let’s go.”Out in the waters, this is where He brought me.This is my life.It’s little girls blowing kisses. It’s dancing silly with no boundaries, just for a laugh. It’s...
