Tuesday, August 9th, 2005Caleb did. The Celebration service on Monday lived up to its billing. That a ten-year old boy could have touched so many and left a legacy of compassion and kindness is a testimony to great parents and authentic, child-like faith.

In a class by himself
Sunday, July 17th, 2005I’ve always marveled at Tiger Woods. He’s younger than me, yet he won his tenth golf major this weekend at the British Open, in the same tournament big Jack Nicklaus said was his last. From the greatest to even greater in the same weekend: it’s the perfect passing of the torch. Tiger’s nothing if not [...]

Everyone wants to know
Saturday, June 25th, 2005… how an 86-year old southern preacher is relevant to urban kids.

Proud Poppa
Friday, June 24th, 2005Saturday’s Crusade program featured two videos profiling six New York City teens who love Jesus. Four of the six are dear friends of mine. Three are from Generation Xcel: Loreal Torres, Amanda DeJesus, and Eric Velez. Lori I’ve known for twelve or so years, Amanda for eight or nine, and Eric for four. All were [...]
