Here’s another one of these cool infographs from OnlineSchools.org. This, to me, is just absolutely stunning. The most fascinating stat? Every minute, Nike makes $36,505. Each Nike factory worker in Vietnam makes $0.0014, per minute. (Which if you calculate, comes out to about 8 cents per hour. Good Lord, I hope that statistic is wrong.) [...]

Salvation Mtn.

About 3 hours from me is this crazy place called Salvation Mtn. It’s a man-man mountain, made entirely of straw, adobe, paint and other random goodies found in the desert. Leonard Knight, the artist, started building it many years ago (definitely over 20, I want to say close to 30, but who knows.) If you [...]

Church is Not a Movie Theater

A few weeks ago, I addressed my biggest pet peeve of all time: a bad handshake. Well, there is one more pet peeve that irks me so badly that it’s almost tied with how much I dislike a poor handshake. Can you guess? That’s right: Church PDA.[Dun dun duuuun.] Now, let me make myself clear… [...]

Homeless People Say the Most Profound Things

There are always homeless people on the intersection of El Toro Road by Laguna Hills Mall. Today, I was stopped at that intersection for a few minutes, waiting for the light to turn green. Standing on the sidewalk was a scraggly homeless man, holding a cardboard sign. I could hardly make out what it said—but [...]

Grumbling.

I am absolutely in love with the story of Moses. God has used his story to move me a several times throughout my life. I find myself deeply relating to Moses, and to the work God called him to. Lately, I’ve thought a lot about the Israelites wandered through the desert. Let’s recap… The entire [...]

Donde?

As our Tru conference wrapped up today, we had a time for people to stand up and share things God has put on their hearts. It was such a powerful moment, as we sat back and watched how God is moving in the lives of many across the country. It reminded me how important it [...]

Ocean of Noise.

Today, I had to run some errands… one of which was a stop at Target. (Mmm, I love Target. I could spend hours perusing that place.) I was in a bit of a time crunch, so I moved swiftly and headed to the check out stands. Only two aisles were open. Both had two people [...]
