Being Unoffendable: The Ridiculous Idea
Okay. So this may sound like the dumbest thing you’ve ever read, but here goes: You can choose to be “unoffendable.” I actually heard a guy say this at a business meeting. That is striking to me for a few reasons: (1) I’d never, ever thought about that before; (2) I remember something from a business meeting; and (3) I was actually invited to a business meeting. I remember the guy saying it’s a choice we can make, to just choose not to be offended. Sure. Right, man. Choose to be unoffendable. Just — you know — choose, as if it’s really just up to us. I found this offensive. By the…

What Is Surrender Anyway?
Introduction Tisha is a cute baby girl. Curly jet-black hair, dimples, and a smile that lights up a room. She also has a grip like a bear trap, and when she gets hold of a toy, she won’t let go. Her young vocabulary is limited, but one word she has mastered is “Mine!” Daddy and Mommy are trying to teach her to share, but she finds it much more natural to cling on to everything for herself. This skill was not taught; it seems to come naturally. Gerrit is nine and loves soccer. His coach has explained to the whole team (and the parents) that this level of soccer…

Usually I’m happy if I heard 5 or 10 that really grab my attention. One song in particular really stood out… I’ve mentioned him before, but in case you missed it, Deitrick Haddon is one talented dude. If Gospel music is not your groove, don’t let the fact that he is marketed as a Gospel artist fool you either. This is not just Gospel music…it’s so much more! Deitrick Haddon‘s new song, “Open Door Season” is the Best Thing i Heard Today! Check it out here…
