I hope to have pix up next week, but you heard it here first: at about 6:30PM last night in the largest city in the world, Miss Susana Soledad Pacheco Ramos officially became Mrs. Brent McQuay!

Well, I need to get to bed since we’re up at 4:30am tomorrow for the trip to Mexico City for Brent & Sol’s ‘first’ wedding. (They’re being married by her pastor in Mexico City on Friday, for the benefit of all her family & friends who won’t be able to travel to Chicago for [...]

I sometimes try to post this on Sunday evenings, but didn’t get a chance last night. I thought this weekend at CLC was just incredible. Not only was the weather outside glorious, but so was the atmosphere inside at all 3 worship celebrations.
What happened during our worship time in the 11:15 service can [...]

Ever wish you’d said something first?
A few months ago I had the chance to meet a young pastor from Anderson, South Carolina who’s doing incredible things for God at NewSpring Church. At any rate, Perry’s post about the Virginia Tech shootings says it exactly the way I’d like to say it for all of [...]

I know that our nation will be asking questions about the Virginia Tech shootings for a long time, and no doubt some of them are valid questions that a civilized society needs to address. But the one question that I’m already hearing is “Why would God allow this?”

Unbelievable….I was transfixed by the images and reports again last night of another senseless tragedy in our country.

What an awful reminder of how much our nation needs Jesus and of the reality of brokenness and depravity [...]

Wow, am I pumped today! Not only did we have our 3rd-best attendance of the year this weekend (behind Easter and our 17th Anniversary celebration only - but you have to understand that the Sunday after Easter is traditionally the lowest-attended Sunday of the year) with at least 1,550 folks worshipping with us at [...]

I’m not talking about me, although I haven’t been on a motorcyle since 1983, I think. Not sure how many of you reading this are familiar with Pedro, our miniature Dachshound who actually belongs to my oldest son, Chad (well, that’s a long story in itself).
At any rate, with the slight rise in temps yesterday, [...]

One of the prophetic words we received in January of this year was ‘acceleration’ - that God was going to do things with us at a much faster pace than we were accustomed to. Well, less than 90 days later, I’m trying my best to keep up with it!
I’ll have more to say in the [...]

Hey folks - the Word works! Had another hallway conversation this week with the same CLCer who had the incredible report of accepting the “90 day tithe challenge” and then seeing her income drop drastically, yet discover that she always had enough and was able to pay cash for stuff she usually went into [...]
