    Buttprints in the Sand

    I forget who gave these to me, but I found it while cleaning my room tonight. Enjoy.

    One night I had a wondrous dream
    A set of prints on the sand was seen
    The footprints of my precious Lord
    Yet mine were not along the shore

    Then a stranger print appeared
    I asked the Lord, “What have we here?
    This print is large and round and neat
    But, Lord, it’s juts too big for feet”

    “My child,” He said in somber tones
    “For miles, I carried you alone
    I challenged you to seek my face
    Take up your cross and walk in grace”

    “You disobeyed; you would not grow
    You would not stand against the flow
    Your neck was stiff; your ears were shut
    So, there I dropped you on your butt

    “Because in life there comes a time
    When one must fight, when one must climb
    When one must rise and take a stand
    Or leave one’s butt-print in the sand”

    Original Title: “Butt Prints in the Sand”

  • Why can’t Koreans get along?

    On Friday, we were going through Design for Discipleship 2.1: The Life (NavPress) and we began with the section on “God’s Godness.” Question #7 tells the student that God is omniscient and that He knows what is going on in their life. So, what did I do? Being the troublemaker pastor that I am, I decided to point out the elephant in the room. I singled out one of my students and let him know that although his parents were no longer going to our church and he was going through confusing times, that God knew what was going on in his heart and that God would watch over him.

  • Pastors Are Lazy or Overworked?

    Recently, I have heard members complain about lazy pastors, so I thought I would go online to find supporting articles to educate these people about the fact that pastors are not lazy. They are just overworked and under-paid/under-appreciated. Unfortunately, what I found was an overwhelming number of websites claiming that pastors are just great at making excuses. There’s an irony there, because pastors have been gifted with the ability to communicate proficiently (and they are paid to do so every Sunday). (more…)
