If there is one thing I have learned during my years in ministry it is this: it is always my fault.  If a service isn’t good enough, it is my fault.  If a special event isn’t good enough, it is my fault.  If people aren’t serving God like they should, it is my fault.  If someone leaves the church, it is my fault.  If a guest feels unwelcome, it is my fault.

This past weekend I ran in the Krispy Kreme Challenge for the fourth year in a row.  For those of you who don’t know what the KKC is, let me fill you in.  You start at the bell tower at NC State and run to Krispy Kreme.  Then you eat twelve glazed donuts and run back to the bell tower.  The goal is to do all of this in under an hour.  The past three years the total distance has been four miles (two there and two back), but this year they increased it to five miles total.

There is something I see happen almost every day that always seems to baffle me.  The way I drive home I cross over railroad tracks that are right before a stop sign.  The Department of Transportation has taken the time to paint a white line on the road to mark where you should stop if you want to be safely off the tracks and out of the way of the arm that comes down to prevent you from crossing the tracks while a train is going by.  This intersection often gets backed up between 5-7pm and there are many times where the stop sign is backed up passed the railroad tracks.

Let me start this blog by saying that in no way am I a Tebow hater (I may have lost of a few readers just with that sentence).  Rather it is quite the opposite.  I have a massive amount of respect for Tim Tebow and what he is doing.  With that being said, I have a bone to pick with a lot of the Christians out there and their response to Tebow.  They have gone way overboard on the Tebow craze in stereotypical “Christian” fashion.

So I’ve sat here for a few minutes and stared at the computer screen trying to figure out what I’m going to write this blog about.  I am trying to write more often, but right now I am not really sure about what.  I could do another Christmas blog, I could write about my job because I haven’t done much of that, I could write about a lot of other things but right now I’m not really feeling it.

Growing up my extended family would always get together at my grandparent’s house on Christmas Eve.  We would spend all day together eating lots of food (apparently my grandma thought we starved the other 364 days of the year), play games, and enjoy each others company.  There was always the routine visit from Santa (who has really slimmed down and got some face lifts in recent years).
