Our life plans are little more than stories that we can ruthlessly clutch regardless of the contours of the moment or that we can adjust as conditions warrant. Attachment to our fabricated narratives pushes us into a land of fantasy characterized by wishful thinking, grief over what isn’t, and despising the truth of the present.Continue reading

Community doesn’t look like church.

Nashville flooded. I’m sure that everyone knows this by now; locally we experienced it, friends of locals saw it on Facebook, and nationally, it made news a few days ago. During the floods, while I watched a building float down Interstate-24 on TV, a road which I was driving on a mere two hours beforehand,Continue reading “Floods, Coping, and Pride.”
You probably won’t agree with me, but that’s okay.
Don Miller recently posted a blog about whether God has a plan or not for you. This is one of those “blogs in response to another blog” things, so I apologize for that. The article is short, so go read it. The gist of it is that God does not map our lives, and generally people who ascribe toContinue reading “You probably won’t agree with me, but that’s okay.”
