- My dad’s burial at sea was overwhelmingly beautiful. A group of about 40 of us spent an hour on a chartered boat and right at sunset we released my dad into the water surrounded by a host of roses. It was a powerful moment.
- What was without question the busiest 6-month ministry season in my career is finally headed to a slowdown. Things feel like they may be back to normal (although “normal” seems to have a new definition….the old normal is gone) after the holidays. Despite the craziness, the past 6 months have been an amazing journey, and our student ministry team is stronger and more unified than ever before.
- A few posts ago, I asked readers to contribute their teaching strategy and “plans”. Thanks to everybody who posted comments and shared their insights. I am committed to thinking this through and being more purposeful (Shout out to Rick W.) in my approach to the educational part (and, as we all know formal education really is only a part of ministry to young teens) of our ministry.
- Had a heated, and admittedly biased, debate with a cowboy fan concerning this topic: If you were to start an NFL franchise tomorrow, who would you pick for your quarterback….Tony Romo or Jay Cutler? Those are the only options.

It all depends, if Romo has to deal with the ego that is TO then I pick Cutler. If TO is out of the picture then I pick Romo. I’m a diehard Cowboys fan and TO has to go!
A question I would love to answer.
Admittedly biased as well, Romo without a doubt. Although Cutler is very talented, Romo is better. (even though he has blown a few games in Dec.)
Phil Simms said it best on Inside the NFL when responding to Warren Sapp about Romo
Warren Sapp: “I have to ask you all, where is this guy’s signature game; his signature performance that we talk about? The Cowboys haven’t won a playoff game since 1996.”
Simms: “Can’t win the big game! You want to get me fired up? Start saying that phrase, because that is one of the worst things that can ever be labeled on a quarterback. They said that about Peyton Manning, they said that about Dan Marino, they said it about John Elway, until the last couple of years. Tony Romo has only been a full-time starter for two years. Let’s give him a little time to see what happens in his career before we label him the guy that can’t get it done in a big spot.”
