No matter what version you read it out of, Proverbs 19:21 sums up 2011, and really the last 7 years of my life quite well. Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails. You can make many plans, but the LORD’s purpose will prevail. We humans keep [...]
8 years babe. It has been an adventure, and I expect it will continue to be. I’m excited for the season we are in and grateful for the seasons God has brought us through. Thank you for being my helpmate. Thank you for not dumping me at the altar as I licked my lips ready [...]
If you follow the twitter feed you know that I’m in Atlanta usually once a month working with a great church down there, Victory World Church. You may have also seen some chatter about a move. Well, through a course of events that could only be orchestrated by God (and if you want the whole [...]
One of my business advisors (also my father in-law) has challenged me a number of times with the question: “are you building a business or creating a job for yourself” I see a lot of people who call themselves business owners but as Bruce points out what they’ve really done is create a job for [...]

While I could probably dream up something insightful for this image, I didn’t create it for that. I was sitting around, and the fact that people were talking about the supermoon caught my attention and inspired me to create just for the kick of creating, it was fun and creating should be fun. (okay, there’s my [...]
When Nathan asked for a set of the stamps I used as a part of my “Jesus Hates Papyrus” talk because they use them as part of their creative team, I had to know how they were using them. Thanks Nathan for sharing. -MB Ever since the Echo Conference it seems like the Jesus Hates [...]
I was blessed last month when Matt Knisely connected me to Jerry Miner of Water Missions International. Blessed not just because the project was a blast and I love the final results of the branding work, but because Jerry is oozing vision. Jerry’s vision: giving 100 communities – 250,000 people the gift of safe water [...]
Faith. We all say we have it, and we probably do…for the most part. But I’m reminded of the story of the fishermen as Christ said follow me. Following Christ is one thing, maybe the easy thing, but leaving everything you have to follow him. Wow. I hope I’d have that kind of faith, but [...]
