    http://mistakemaker.com/?p=1380
    For Bono, music is a means to accomplish his life mission, but is not the mission itself. He’s using his leverage as a musician to fulfill a greater mission. In other words, music is what Bono “does”, but a humanitarian is who he “is.” He uses what he does to fulfill who he is. As a follower of Jesus, you are called to leverage your influence to spread the gospel. That means whether you are a carpenter,... Read more »

    This is a recent picture captured by the Hubble telescope of what is known as the Butterfly Nebula. The wings of the butterfly are actually gases that are escaping this dying star. The wingspan of this planetary Nebula stretches for about 2 light years wide or a mind blowing 1,341,233,258.4 miles. The gases that have escaped from this star are ripping through space at a speed of about 600,000 miles... Read more »

    http://mistakemaker.com/?p=1308
    I don’t like that verse. I would much rather it say, “if someone forces you to go one mile, tell him to take a hike.” When someone makes an unreasonable request of me or tries to take advantage of me, my natural response normally isn’t “sure…no problem, in fact here’s double!” But yet, that’s exactly what Jesus expects us to do. Think about it…Jesus calls us to be fully available to be fully taken... Read more »

    I walked out to our pool yesterday only to find it turning green. I began to check the obvious stuff. I checked the chlorine dispenser. It was full. I attempted to turn on the pool filter. Nothing. Just a click and a hum. After some intense troubleshooting in the World’s largest library of Google, I found the problem. It was a small little $10 part called a “capacitor”. Basically, the capacitor provides... Read more »

    There is a word that is capable of destroying your life. This one word has destroyed marriages. It has has leveled ministries. It has bankrupted people literally as well as spiritually.

    http://mistakemaker.com/?p=927
    We’re taught at a very young age to make comparisons in everything we do. Our educational system is based upon how we measure up with someone else. Our jobs are based upon comparisons. If our production is higher than what the benchmark is set at, we feel good about ourselves and if our production falls short we feel bad. Think about it…comparisons determine our grades, our accolades, our raises,... Read more »
