Welcome to my corner of the internet. Thoughts, journals, and whatever else comes to mind.Today – November 13, 2012
A bullet point of a day. Not bad, just out of time to put complete thoughts together. Worked through last month's financials for C2IT. We started really measuring some things about 3 months ago and it's helped set goals and know what is and isn't working to achieve...
Today – November 12, 2012
My list of dreams of my life includes daily journalling about my life, whether it's big things or small things, exciting days or boring days. I still think that'd be a great way of life, but it may not happen anytime soon, but then again, it all starts with today,...
A Prayer about Pain
This prayer comes from a book I'm reading right now - . This is the prayer following a chapter about dealing with those painful emotions - grief, anger, loss, and pain. It's been quite timely for me. I have work to do in these areas. Lord Jesus, when I think about my...

ME2U on Fox 59
ME2U was featured as the top story on a local news channel on October 19. It was a great chance to share a bit of our vision and message with the local community. The story's text is below, along with a link to the video. New website aims to reduce inappropriate...
Go This Way
In my Bible reading today, the people asked the prophet to "ask the Lord to tell us where he wants us to go and what he wants us to do" and then said that "we promise to do whatever he says, even if it isn't what we want to do." Subsequently, the response they got...
Texting with safety and accountability baked right in
We sent the following email to a select group of friends, families, and professionals earlier today. As we prepare to launch ME2U, we're excited to bring others on board. I’m writing today to share news about an event associated with our up-and-coming...
Purpose in the Pain
Today in my Bible reading time I ran once again across Jeremiah 29. There's a verse in this chapter that is quoted time and time again as a promise to those in pain: "For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the Lord. Plans for welfare and not for calamity...
The Charm Bracelet I’d Love to Give My Daughter Someday
I absolutely love this story and want to incorporate something like it into my daughter's life. I ran across this here, but wanted to keep a good copy for myself. The Charm Bracelet Taken from the April 2008 Brio and Beyond Magazine: By: Sarah Kistler Sweet 16 had...
Old Me: Unreliable | New Me: A Strong Fortress
This is the first of a few blog posts I want to do about "Old Me New Me." I'm currently reading an excellent book about the intersection and balance of emotional health and spirituality, and have this nice neat list of things I have often described myself as, either...
Rebuilding Relationships – ME2U and the book of Nehemiah
If you've never read the book Nehemiah, I'd encourage you do to so. Especially if you're a leader of any sorts. You could pull this book out of the Bible, toss it up on a bookshelf of leadership books, and it would stand the test of time. Put into the context OF the...
Pigeonholed Fruit
The fruit of the spirit as found in Galatians 5:22-23 have been a nice, sweet way for me to see how God's alive and well in me... until I read them in a manner that draws out the meaning of each word just a bit more. You can't deal with these attributes as a checklist...
Entrusted by God – a Prayer
Today I was led in prayer by Brian Hardin of the Daily Audio Bible. His words became mine. I wanted to get it written down to come back to; they are so true. From September 4, 2012's Daily Audio Bible (thanks Tamarie!): God, I thank you today for your...
Unwanted
"Something breaks on our heart in moments like that... no matter how much farther we go on with our walk with God." That's a line in a series I'm listening to right now called the Four Streams, put together by Ransomed Heart Ministries and recently made available...
My Friend Dillon
I'm listening to a live webinar by Dare 2 Share at the moment about discipling youth and can't stop thinking about my friend Dillon. I'm not always paying attention, but I know he has a running tally of how many friends he's reaching out to Jesus with. The speaker,...
What's going on in my head?
Every wonder what's going on inside of your own head? Wonder why some things make you furious while others leave you without a care at all? Or why some seemingly sad situations leave you feeling just fine, without that emptiness or hurt or emotion you think should be...
Some Spice
What is it that makes a day worth getting up for? There have been a number of days lately where I've hit snooze more times than I can count. It's not that I want to hide from what's ahead or get more sleep... I guess it's just that question we all probably ask (or do...
Hard choices are better than no choices at all
"Hard choices are better than no choices at all." That's the takeaway I had from a recent discussion with my business and all-around-life coach Mark Sturgell. We'd been discussing some opportunities that lie ahead of me, and Mark had re-informed me that I have a...
