I absolutely love the day after Christmas. It is a day filled with what no other day of my year is filled with…NOTHINGNESS!!! The rest of the year we are going from meeting to meeting, appointment to appointment and place to place. There is 364 days of sheer busyness. It never stops. People demand things of us and we do them…not because of the desire to do so, but because we have this incessant need to be busy. However, there is one day out of the year that everything stands still. For most it is Christmas Day. However, that day is usually filled with all sorts of things to do. Family to see, meals to eat, toys to play with, gadgets to fiddle with and many more things. But…the day after…my favorite day of the year…brings about NOTHINGNESS. It is the one day of the year that I can sit on my couch and not move for hours. I watch new movies we have gotten or an entire season of a show that I have not seen in years. No matter what the nothingness is, it is wonderful. This morning I have played Tiger Woods 09′ while laying on my couch, I have shopped the day after Christmas sales online while laying on my couch, I have eaten fudge and a banana while laying on my couch and now I am watching the new Tinkerbell movie and writing this blog while….you guessed it…laying on my couch. I am going to thoroughly enjoy the nothingness today. I hope that you will do the same. Maybe nothingness is a practice we should enjoy more than one day a year. So…what are you doing for the day today? ENJOY YOUR DAY OF NOTHINGNESS!!!!
ENJOY THE NOTHINGNESS

What makes me...well...me? There are a lot of things that make up the complexities of who I am. I love God, my wife, my two little girls, and all types of crazy interesting people. I love good conversation, a bit of controversy, rebellion with a cause, and hot green tea. I love to write, read, take photos, and spend time on my patio with good friends and my beautiful family. Scripture confuses, perplexes, intrigues, and floors me. It brings me hope, joy, and frustration. I work for one of the greatest churches in the country with the greatest team ever assembled. We will challenge you and your staff to a duel on the playground at 3:10 on any afternoon. This space is for us to conversate and share thoughts on life, love, creativity, and ministry. Welcome to my little nook of the web. I hope you will come in, take off your shoes and stay awhile.
