Do you like a delicious fried chicken dinner with all the fixins?  Me too, and so does Tatum.  Let me tell you a true “chicken story” and then give you a principle that will greatly help you in your everyday life (if you’ll put it into practice).

While hundreds (perhaps thousands) of people have a delicious recipe for chicken, Colonel Sanders was convince…

“Then Saul took 3,000 of the best-trained men from all Israel and went to search for David and his men on the Rocks of the Wild Goats.” 1 Samuel 24:2

There were three things we see in this verse that David encountered as a young leader in his quest to obey God. Rocks, wild goats and a king named Saul. Each has application to the building of a new work for God.

The walls are now up on our new facility at Northstar Church. It won’t be long now before…

So, I’m sitting here in my un-tucked dress shirt, sipping a latte, reading “Good to Great” for the 5th time, twittering to all my “peeps” while I write my latest blog…. ugghhhhh…..Lord, please deliver us from “cool.”

Here’s what’s hard though.  Cool is such a desirable commodity is our world.  In fact, many, many of my best friends are cool.

As I sat at my desk I was lost in thought and study. When all of a sudden I heard the sound of children. I spun around in my office chair to look out of my home office window. It was like a steady stream of moms and kids walking, skipping, laughing, biking, running even rollerblading home.

As I looked at all the boys and girls, I thought of your children and teens including…

So I hope you like our new blog site… because you know, that’s what this world needed was one more blogger, right?  Hey, I enjoy writing and if some of you enjoy reading my thoughts, along with those of our Northstar “staffers,” then that makes it all worthwhile.

I must admit I was more than a little happy to see a few comments on my first blog… wow… people came, they read, they commented and they left.  That’s nice.
