On a recent trip to Portland, Oregon, Ken Munday, Teresa Duke, and I finished up our Pastor’s Luncheon and took a scenic drive through the back country. If you’ve never been, it’s very beautiful. Lots of tall trees and tons of ferns. We drove along a winding river where every now and then we would

Continued from What is That? Part 1 She grabbed the curtains with both hands and threw them open with the strength of a body builder. As the curtains flung to each side, I’ll never forget the words that left her mouth. This is how the conversation went: DLo: What is that? What is that? CLo:

Right around the fourth of July in 2003 I took my wife to Northern California to experience some of the beauty it has to offer. She had only been to the L.A. area and hadn’t had the chance to travel outside the city. And she’d only been to the beach in Florida. So I set
I want to do a survey. Of those of you who travel, when you stay at a hotel in a strange city, what is the number one question you ask the hotel desk clerk? You don’t even have to answer, because I know what it is. Because you ask it in every new city you

This morning started out particularly early. As the alarm went off at 3:50 AM, I stretched frantically to find the snooze button in an unfamiliar hotel room. My eyes were closed as tight as what I would imagine a bear trap to be. As I lay there, I try to gather the random thoughts in

As you SURELY know by now, last week was the Nashville EntreLeadership; and it was fantastic! The group that came was an absolute blast to teach. Every break, a lunch, or a dinner someone was telling me how much they were learning, and how they couldn’t wait to get home and get started. Since then

So this past week we were out in Colorado Springs speaking to a bunch of pastors. When I say we, I mean: Ken Munday, Teresa Duke, and me. We checked into our hotel on Tuesday and back out Wednesday; except Teresa, since her husband was coming in Wednesday so they could have a couple of
Ok, the title has nothing to do with this post except the word persuasion…and I happen to love the song. Although many believe the name came from the picture above that was taken by Apollo 7, the truth is when Tommy James was asked what persuaded the name, he said that it was from the
