You’ve had a solid run, Josie Greer as our baker at Mayfly Coffee. You’ve made some killer scones, expanded our gluten free offerings all the while with a work ethic that is unparalleled. When most High School Juniors and Seniors were still sleeping you were up countless early mornings going up on the mountain to bake your…

When she was in 8th grade she stepped behind our cash register at Cadence Coffee on 7th and started taking orders. She learned the skills she needed to become an excellent barista and equally excellent manager at not one but two locations. When I asked her to take the manager role at Mayfly she took the role…

I saw your picture today. You were in my “memories.” You won’t remember us – but we can never forget you. You came into our life as unexpectedly as you left. I’ll never forget the night at church when your mom walked in from the streets and asked me to pray for you in her…

Friend – allow me to lean in here – and remind you that just because someone says all the right words – “Jesus,” “God,” “Peace,” “Love,” etc.- doesn’t’ mean that they are speaking truth. I can summon my Pentecostal roots and can preach Dr. Seuss’s “Green Eggs and Ham” with fire, fury and passion and I…

Oh God . . . We’ve been sleeping. We as in “Christians”, Your “sons & daughters,” “believers” the “faithful” ones. We. We’ve prayed for revival but we’ve fallen asleep while praying. Not knowing that You were longing for us to keep the night watch with You. The spirit is willing, but the…

Their disagreement led them down a path of severe negativity and they became critical – quite critical in fact to the point that they even questioned their brother’s calling. There is so…

Ready
So this global pandemic and lots of other crazy stuff happening lately has me thinking more and more about the return of Jesus. Scripture points to circumstances, just like we see right now, as indicators of His return. Now I’m not going to all Revelation, End Times Prophecy Timeline on you. But something inside of…

Overwhelmed
And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” – Matthew 26:39 ESV Of all the moments leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion, the hardest one for me to wrap my…

Disclaimer: This post is nearly three times longer than my typical posts. I’ve had several folks reach out and ask how we are doing, and haven’t really had the words to express. I know people everywhere are having to deal with the challenges of their present reality in their own unique way. Countless others have…

Daniel Fast 2020 // Day 1
For some it’s become “the thing to do” at the beginning of the year. I hesitate to make a big deal about it because I don’t want to be just another contributor to just another Christian fad. But I’ve done this enough years to know that these 21 days of prayer and fasting are significant…
