American Idol
In case you all didn’t know, I’m a huge American Idol fan! I’ve watched it since the very beginning, and can even call a couple of “Idols” my personal friends; not like bffs, but if I saw them in public, they would say, “What’s up, girl?”
So, last week I went to Disney World on [...]

Haiti
January 26th, 2010On Tuesday, January 12, 2010, two weeks ago, an earthquake shattered the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Haiti. As a Christian, our first thought is usually to pray for the people, for the rescue efforts, for healing. But sometimes when something like this happens so far away, we can feel disconnected from [...]

I Don’t Have Too Many Wasted Conversations
August 12th, 2009“I don’t have many wasted conversations! I have an urgency on my life.” I wish these were my words but they aren’t. My friend Blake Bergstrom said this to me as we were sitting in his glorious “man cave” behind his house, which is settled on 4 acres in Pegram, TN. Many years ago he had a near death experience that changed his perspective on life forever. ”Every conversation matters, every time is appointed,” he went on to say.
I was struck by his sincerity and his sense of purpose. I was also convicted by my own selfishness, and the lack of desire I have to know and invest in people deeper. Sometimes I “just don’t have time,” but really I just don’t care. If it makes me look good, or if it fits my agenda, or if “I’m just in the mood” then I’ll do it. That’s not to say I’m not sincere, but I like to dig only so deep.
My wife, Angie, is a lot like Blake. Five minutes with her and you will be sharing your whole life story. I’m not kidding! Once we were with a couple and the husband started sharing things his wife had never heard after years of marriage. Angie loves people that much. She is so sincere and so giving. Because of it people trust her, and let her into very private matters in their lives.
