I drove a different way to get down to outreach last night. I took Mccully down to Kalakua. It reminded me of the first year we were in Honolulu. This is how I would drive our first school of School of Biblical Studies students down in a 15 passanger van. I would drop them off […]

Living life, loving god, loving people & lessons learned along the way.
Author Archives: Jim BakerI wrote this last week. I’ve since realized that when I write, I need to publish soon after too, otherwise it just sits. And the longer it sits, the longer that nasty voice of resistance has to convince me not to hit publish. I appreciate everyone who has been reading the blog after it’s rebirth […] Last week I woke up to a series of e-mails telling me that I overdrew on my bank account. Not a good way to wake up. All that red font that they use too just adds to the panic. Stop that. I logged in to my banking website to find out that an annual bill had […] We’re back in Honolulu for a little bit. I was going to keep it under wraps, but that decision was based in fear. And making decisions out of fear is gross. Perfect love casts out fear. One of the highlights from when we lived in Hawaii a couple years ago was the Tuesday night homeless outreach […]  Did you do premarital counseling? Do you wish you would have? Would you benefit from marriage counseling now? Funny how counseling is seen as a last resort. But with a commitment as huge as marriage, why not get some outside help? Find some people that are doing marriage well and take them to dinner and ask […] When I see good deals, I like to tell you about them, so here is one. Today Amazon is offering $8.62 OFF a $50 purchase of items sold by Amazon. So no third party vendors. I couldn’t figure out why the promo code wouldn’t work but then realized the $50 included a third party item […]  How are your New Years resolutions going? Not perfect? Hmm Well, you’ve got two choices. 1. Berate yourself for not meeting the unrealistic goal you set in the first place. OR 2. Celebrate the very real progress you have made. I highly recommend number 2. Celebrating the small victories you’ve made are going to encourage you to […]  Yesterday I made my first political post on facebook. It went like this: Dear Christians, What if every time we saw a political post on here, we prayed and asked God how WE can share and be the Good News to our nation, to our neighbor. We don’t need Jesus for president because Jesus is […]  Good morning, woke up a little after 5am this morning. Last week I set a goal to get up at 6am every morning. When you work from home there’s not a time you have to be at work. But I feel like 6am is an adult time to wake up. When I get a hard […]  I recently decided I wanted to up my twitter game. So I’ve set a goal to follow 5 people a day and be more active on twitter. I’ve been faithfully following more and more people and well so far… I’ve gained less followers than I have followed but thats okay. Slow and steady wins the […] |
