This morning I awoke to a Baton Rouge that is both soggy and beautiful. Sometimes life is like that. Rains come and fall all over our lives. As the showers fall or the storms rage, we aren’t quite sure whether to feel anxious or encouraged. Changes are coming, as they inevitably do, but no one [...]

Just a quick note to let everyone (who isn’t a Facebook friend) know we are staying in Baton Rouge and bracing for Gustav, as of 9:30 Sunday night. My family, along with my fellow South Louisianians are grateful for your prayers. I’ll be posting again as soon as I can after the storm passes.
With Hope, [...]

My wife and I recently spent a weekend away together at the Parish Hermitage. Our time there was all that we hoped it would be. God’s Spirit breathed into us just what we needed at this time in our lives. And it all started with a storm.
As we stopped for an early lunch of burgers [...]

Well, I knew Earth Day 2007 was coming this week, but I didn’t realize it was yesterday. When it dawned on me today, I felt a bit disappointed I had done nothing to officially mark the day – although I continue to work at being mindful of caring for our planet, people, and resources [...]

Today in Baton Rouge is glorious! The temperature is balmy. The sky is blue and clear. The breeze is gentle. What a delightfully refreshing Sabbath!!! As I write, hundreds of teens and adults are gathered at our church’s facilities experiencing an annual youth rally, appropriately titled “Renewal.” The weather being so amazing as it is, [...]
