Upward Creativity: Ouch!
http://upwardcreativity.blogspot.com/2012/01/ouch.html
For reasons I cannot explain, every year, January kinda sucks for me. I get all fired up for the start of a new year, get my list of things I want to change, and BOOM! By January 10th, I'm wishing I had a time travel device so I could go back to a more hopeful, simpler time before all the New Year's crappola began. Maybe January is the time of year when God has to prep me so he can plant things and they can take root. Why? Heck, I don't know! So I encourage you not to run away from God in those times whe...

He says this has made him famous. what he doesn't understand is that he's famous for all the wrong reasons. Sadly, this is not the worst church singer I've ever heard. Even Jesus is shaking his head and giving him a "bless your heart". Thanks Chris Cahall for the heads up). Tuesday, January 24, 2012. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). How to be rich.

Upward Creativity: Helping when it hurts
http://upwardcreativity.blogspot.com/2012/08/helping-when-it-hurts.html
Helping when it hurts. There's a great book called "When Helping Hurts". It's about how we, as christians, help people. To sumarize it poorly, it talks about how sometimes our wonderful intentions can end up creating dependancy and actually hurt the very people we seek to help in the long term. It's a good book to read if you're someone involved in missions- local or otherwise. I know I'm sounding bitter, but I'm not or at least I don't want to be. I just wonder who helps the helpers? I can honestly say ...

Upward Creativity: June 2011

A Road Less Traveled. Ive been thinking a lot lately about my walk with God. You see I always thought that it would get easier as I grew in my relationship with God, but here I am more than 10 years in and Im realizing that might never be the case. Monday, June 27, 2011.

Upward Creativity: July 2011
http://upwardcreativity.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Back in the olden days of the internet- ya know like around 1999ish, I used search engines for school and typically to look up encyclopedia-type stuff. I used to log on to Dogpile (10 points if you remember that site) and type in president names so I could write some lame report and that was pretty much the extent of my search engine usage. And by we, I mean me. Friday, July 29, 2011. Links to this post. Adventures in Kid's Ministry! For those of you who know me personally, this probably came as an odd p...
