Truth

Deep Thought: To me, truth is not some vague, foggy notion. Truth is real. And, at the same time, unreal. Fiction and fact and everything in between, plus some things I can’t remember, all rolled into one big “thing.” This is truth, to me.
 
As funny as that sounds, it somewhat explains how I feel right [...]

I am What I am

Deep Thought: I bet one legend that keeps recurring throughout history, in every culture, is the story of Popeye.
 
Actually, we were walking through the Galleria yesterday and came upon the Cartoon Store and one of the main characters was Popeye. So it could be a deeper thought than you know.
 
We were at the Galleria [...]

St. Francis Luck

Deep Thought: Some folks say it was a miracle. St. Francis suddenly appeared and caught a perfect ten tube ride. But I think he just got lucky.
 

Well, the contest is over. Bruce Irons who announced his retirement earlier beat Fred Patacchia in the final [...]

Fragrant Lives

Deep Thought: If you’re a young Mafia gangster on your first date, I bet it’s really embarrassing if someone tries to kill you.
 
I killed it today. Best session that I have had so far. We surfed Balangan this morning and I got a pretty good shack that Lindsay saw. The swell dropped considerably today. After [...]

Nothing interesting

Deep Thought: I scrambled to the tip of the precipice where Michaela was waiting.
     “That was fun,” I said.
     “You bet it was,” said Michaela. “Let’s climb higher.”
    “No,” I said. “I think we should be heading back now.”
     “We have time,” Michaela insisted.
     I said we didn’t, and Michaela said we did. [...]

The Anticipation is in the Waiting

Deep Thought: I bet the main reason the police keep people away from a plane crash is they don’t want anybody walking in and lying down in the crash stuff, then when somebody comes up and acts like they just woke up and go, “What was that?”
That is what I thought about when we landed [...]

Never fly Delta

Deep Thought: When you go for a job interview, I think a good thing to ask is if they ever press charges.
If they could press charges for being angry, they could have sentenced me to life in prison this morning. At 4:50 am this morning, I was told by Delta’s airlines that services Okaloosa County, [...]

Blind Guide Dogs and Stinky Fish

Deep Thought: When shops post a sign that says, “Guide dogs only”, who is supposed to read it? The dog?
 
The are a lot of things that businesses do that I don’t understand. For instance, we had lunch yesterday at a pretty well known restaurant in Jenson Beach called Conchy Joe’s. I have had lunch there [...]

Got mentoring?

(I wrote this post originally on Shoreline Insider but it doesn’t seem to be working so I thought I would repost it here on Deep Thoughts)
Shoreline is now at an age in its existence where other church planters are making the trip to see us. Just last week there was a church planter from New [...]

In the news…

In case you missed it, Shoreline Church made the newspaper twice this week.
