40th anniversary of an amazing achievement!

It is amazing what people are capable of. The potentiality that God has built in to man. 40 years ago today, we actually sent two people to land on another heavenly body. It is still probably the greatest technological achievement of man on many levels. The Saturn V rocket was the most powerful (other than bombs) device we’ve ever created… 1 billion horsepower! I mean… think about it, before the internet and memory measured in gigabytes and computer speed measured in gigaherz, we put men on the moon AND returned them safely to the earth.

God has built that same potentiality into you and me. I wonder what I’m doing with it…

Love your family!

Went to a family reunion yesterday. I realized that a whole bunch of my cousins (this was my mother’s side of my family) were no longer with us.

You just never know. So love your family today. Tomorrow is too late.

Am I getting old?

I mean… the fact is that communication is changing like crazy in our world, and I’m treading water to keep up with it. I blog occasionally, thinking somebody might actually be interested in my thoughts. I am tweeting a little now, too, and as cool as I think it is following some interesting people like Tony Morgan and Todd Rhoades and Charlie Hall, I tend to think it’s silly of me to think that people care what I’m doing or thinking.

But…

If what I’m doing or thinking is leading toward Jesus… is that really getting old? I hope not. I hope it’s getting new…
