If you don’t pay attention to sports, you may have missed a post game interview that might be talked about for a while. After defending a pass to seal the NFC Championship for the Seahawks, Richard Sherman was interviewed by Erin Andrews. I don’t think anyone foresaw what was to come.

Mission Field Mentality
A couple of weeks ago, some friends and I were reminiscing about being on a mission trip. We talked about how while we were on the trip we were so passionate about seeing the lives of people changed. We had a huge amount of compassion for the people we were ministering to. We have all found that it is easy to come home and not have the same attitude. You just return to your daily life and tend not to focus all you can on other people and what you can do for them. [Read more…] about Mission Field Mentality
#NewYearNewMe
It’s a new year, and with it comes everyone talking about things they are going to change. For those working at the YMCA it is the busiest time of the year. So many people come in and sign up for gym memberships in January. The gym is so packed at the Alexander Y that they have to hire parking attendants for the evening hours. The gym is full for January and February. [Read more…] about #NewYearNewMe
Lessons from the ER
The last week has been a whirlwind. It all started last week when Angela developed a cold. What seemed like a common cold turned into so much more. It turned into a crazy week that has included a trip to urgent care, the emergency room, a neurologist, a doctor’s office, a radiologist for an MRI, and ENT doctor. We have heard everything from she could have a cold to meningitis to a tumor. Angela has had blood drawn twice, two IVs, a spinal tap, an MRI, an eye exam, a probe shoved up her nose to look at her throat, and been prescribed three medicines.

Killing Dreams
I was watching TV the other day and saw a Dr. Pepper commercial with Pitbull in it. In the commercial he says, “A dream is for those who sleep.” I do not agree with this statement. Now stay with me, because I know he is not saying that you should not dream. However, I think that he is discounting how important the dream is. The dream is where it all begins. The dream is where we create all the big ideas. The dream is what motivates us. Sadly, the dream is often also where it all comes to an end. [Read more…] about Killing Dreams
I Could Be Wrong About This
On Sunday, Michele said something in her sermon that has stuck with me from the moment she said it. She said, “It does not matter if you are right if it does not achieve the righteousness of God.” We all know those people who have to be right no matter what. They may be a family member, a neighbor, a classmate or someone from church. Whoever they are, we have all had encounters with them.
When she said that on Sunday, I thought, “That’s me.” [Read more…] about I Could Be Wrong About This
