“Look, here is water. What can stand in the way?” Youth plus Jesus = hope
As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?” Acts 8:26-40 This world may seem to be coming unglued, with so much out of balance at the moment. It is unsettling to have restrictions placed…

If playing golf helps me relax and focus, doesn’t that make it a business expense?
Just a short post for Thursday. I played golf first thing this morning and didn’t have time to write earlier in the day. I know what you’re thinking: “How can this guy sit there at his computer and admit to playing golf instead of working.” This may sound farfetched, but I am not blowing smoke…

“Mazel tov y’all!” – In the best Hebrew-Presbyterian tradition
One of the many blessings that come from being a preacher’s husband is the opportunity to go with her to various events. Dinners, speaking invitations, civic engagements, preaching, weddings. I get to spend time with Rebekah, meet interesting people, celebrate important occasions, enjoy good food, and more. On the third day a wedding took place…

Soccer: still “a kick in the grass.” Throwback to 2011

Walking to Defeat ALS (and seeing our amazing church family!)
What a great morning! Rebekah and I got to see more members of WFPC in a couple of hours than we have over the past two months! The occasion both gave me hope for what is possible once we have the “okay” to gather for in-person worship, and reminded me that we are still a…

Notes from the start of school
“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.” Mark Twain This morning, as complex and potentially fraught as yesterday’s post, I want to talk about the beginning of this 2020-2021 school year. There are no…
A Walking Tour of the WFPC Campus
How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord. Psalm 84 This post is my gift to the members and friends of Wake Forest Presbyterian Church. It occurred to me the other day that very few people have been able to enjoy our beautiful campus since the suspension of in-person worship,…
