Wednesday, January 12th, 2005Say the following when you’re President of the United States: “I fully understand that the job of the president is and must always be protecting the great right of people to worship or not worship as they see fit,” Mr. Bush said. “That’s what distinguishes us from the Taliban. The greatest freedom we have or [...]
Was it Legit?
Monday, January 10th, 2005So I make this New Year’s Resolution about finding allies in unexpected places. Sounds nice. Makes for a fun post to write. Little did I know that less than a week later I’d be forced to practice what I preach in a meaningful way at a critical time. You may recall, our flagship Xcel After [...]
Tossin
Monday, January 10th, 2005It’s after midnight and I can’t sleep, even though I have an early morning meeting in midtown tomorrow followed by a really long day. I’m trying to make sense of it all — not a smart thing to do in bed, especially when “it” includes everything that it includes. I can think, process, evaluate, assess, [...]
Please Join Judah in Praying for Sam
Monday, January 3rd, 2005My son Judah has been praying for four year old Samuel Carrasco since he was diagnosed with leukemia this summer. Sam will begin his third round of aggressive chemotherapy later this week. Please join Judah in praying for him and the family. More on Sam here.
New Year’s Resolution
Sunday, January 2nd, 2005Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved. (Matthew 9:17) This year I resolve to find friends and allies in unexpected places. This is [...]
Have I mentioned yet how much I love my son?
Friday, December 31st, 2004Judah turns four in two days! It was exactly four years ago tonight that he began his journey beyond the womb in one of the most memorable and exhilarating two days of my life. Diana’s due date was January 8 (or 10? I don’t remember exactly), but I wanted a New Year’s Baby. Not because [...]
Jesus Walks with Me
Friday, December 31st, 2004I’ve been wrestling with the unexplainable lately. Throughout this week, the tsunami. Yesterday, Adam Jeremiah. For nearly two years, ministry difficulties, personal struggles, even health challenges. In countless bizarre, almost surreal ways, it feels (deep down, where life hurts) like a flame upon my flesh has been turned seven time hotter. Against that backdrop, I [...]
Into Your Hands We Commend His Spirit
Thursday, December 30th, 2004It’s nearly midnight, 12/30, and I’ve just returned home from the funeral for 27-day-old Adam Jeremiah Jaruczyk (12/2/2004 – 12/29/2004). He died last night at 9:02 pm, after a valiant fight against a terminal disease. Most children with his condition don’t survive their first days, never mind a first Christmas. His parents Richard and Jessica [...]
Global Disaster … Global Compassion
Wednesday, December 29th, 20049/11/01 was a defining moment for our world in part for igniting the Global War on Terror. So too 12/26/04, or more specifically the world’s collective response to it, can redefine Global Compassion. The scope of the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami has claimed at least 135,000 lives (as of 12/31) in 11 nations spanning [...]
A Hero Passed … His Legacy Endures
Wednesday, December 29th, 2004He is universally regarded as one of, if not the greatest ever to play his position. Yet when he passed away tragically at the age of 43 this past Sunday, the consensus among commentators on Fox, CBS, ESPN, and other sports talk shows was that he was a better person than a football player. What [...]
