GRACE CITY
This weekend I had the privilege of speaking at a really great church in Las Vegas. It’s called Central Christian Church. I’ve preached there eight or ten times over the years, and I’ve always loved a picture that hangs on the wall of the Lead Pastor’s office. Here it is:

I steal my kids’ Halloween candy when they’re sleeping.
What’s your secret that you’ve never shared with anyone?

Brian is Stronger than You
I want you to meet a friend of mine named Brian Dermondy. Brian is a strength coach for the University of Louisville football team. He is an expert in the area of strength. In fact, he is quite literally one of the world’s strongest men.
Comments 16 Brian is Stronger than You »Why do I still smell?
I’m not sure why, but I have a knack, an ability—a gift, really—for stepping in animal excrement. If it’s at all possible to step in it, then I will step in it. It’s to the point where I think God is supernaturally intervening to make it happen.
