Advent allows us to recover during this four-week journey. It begins four Sundays before Christmas all the way up to Christmas. It lets us breath in those moments of faithfulness and helps us recognize that God is working.

If our worship isn't visible, comprehensive and extravagant, the gospel we heard must have been tiny, empty and cheap.

God is huge! He is ginormous! He is greater than every thought we have ever had of Him.

Crazy is good. The alternative is normal.

We may say we value this thing or that thing more than any other, but the volume of our actions speaks louder than our words.

As an overflow of my life - the wake I leave behind with my little dash on earth - I want others to fall in love with Jesus and know of His great hope and purpose for their lives.

I believe that God is not lost. He is in the middle with us right now. If people will take a few moments and take this journey, hope will rise up in their hearts. I believe that.
