“The reason we don’t have revival is that we are willing to live without it.” — Leonard Ravenhill

Nothing quite as awkward for me as watching the hurried head coach interview at the half. And usually, they provide us with zero useful info.

A sensational preacher stimulates the senses and leaves the spirit untouched. — Henri Nouwen

“What draws a crowd isn’t necessarily what draws God.” — Lance Witt

“We cannot attain the presence of God. We’re already totally in the presence of God. What’s absent is awareness.” — Richard Rohr

“In all of creation, identity is a challenge only for humans. A tulip knows exactly what it is. It is never tempted by false ways of being. So it is with dogs, rocks, trees, stars, amoebas, and all other things. All give glory to God by being exactly what they are.” David Benner

In the midst of all the discussions and online arguments and rhetoric and such about, well, everything, may I add this? Sunset in Grapevine, Texas, USA. Yep. It’s just a beautiful sunset. Nothing more. God is good.

At the Texas State University commencement ceremony today watching our daughter-in-law graduate. I still do not understand the blood-curdling scream as a form of celebration. #KeepCalmAndGraduateOn

Traveling thru #EastTexas today + happened by this sign. We were married at this church 22+ yrs ago. Interesting fact: this was 1 of 10 ET churches burned by arsonists over a span of several weeks in 2010 (a doc was made about this particular church). Glad to see they rebuilt.

This @dallasmavs game is a textbook example of what happens when you fall in love with the 3 … you continually pass up shots 2 feet away from the hoop to take hurried 25-foot, off-balance shots. The result: you get drilled. Phoenix is just better.

Too many @Braves up in here at @GlobeLifeField tonight. 2-0, Braves. On a lighter note, Wash has gotten two ovations (1) just for being introduced and (2) because it’s his 70th birthday. #That’sHowBaseballGo

So how many runs would the Nationals have to score before San Francisco would be “allowed” to resume competing? Silly.

“Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” (Rom 15:13). I pray your belief becomes even an inch stronger today so that your joy and peace from the Lord increase in greater measure.

Why the @SFGiants rockin’ their Dreamsicle unis for this nationally televised game?

The world (and Twitter) needs more reporting like this:

“Our trouble with the Bible isn’t what we don’t understand. It’s what we do understand that we’re not willing to do anything about it.” — Dr. Jimmy Draper

“Praying men means much more than ‘men who pray by habit.’ It means ‘men with whom prayer is a mighty force,’ an energy that moves heaven and pours untold treasures of good on earth.” — EM Bounds

Jesus. Only Jesus.

Yes, yes, yes …
