Watch Greatness
The great theologian Tracy Morgan asked – How you going to expect to be great if you don’t study greatness? Okay, those weren’t the exact words, but close enough. We can also argue later whether he’s a theologian or not. I actually heard this line from someone else, but it…

Skinny Fat

The Negative Fan
I’ve written a few posts about being a fan and getting your identity as a fan. You’ve seen these crazy people wearing jerseys and cheese heads. Crazy – all out fans. We’ve seen those. Have you ever known a Negative Fan? It’s one of those fans that – no matter…
