When I treat people like they are doing their best, even when they are not, they do even better. When I treat people like they don’t really care, even when they don’t, they care more.

@CoryLaflin Chaos Goblin. That almost beats @jdwalt's designation of "homegrown terrorist".

Trinity Lutheran has some true chaos goblins in the pews every Sunday. And we wouldn't have it any other way. Their parents are doing it right.

@jdwalt 6 tweets in a month! Are you back?!?

The fiery furnaces are there by God’s direct permission. It is misleading to imagine that we are developed in spite of our circumstances; we are developed because of them. It is mastery in circumstances that is needed, not mastery over them. Thanks again Oswald Chambers.

There really are few things worse than Theological Trolls. They rank in the food chain just above junior demons. Don’t be one.

What's the best book you've read this year? Me - I think it was probably a tie between • "Tell her Story" by @NijayKGupta • "The Yellow Pad" by @RobertRubinTres
