Margin is the space between our loath and our limits. It is the amount allowed beyond that which is needed. It is something held in reserve for contingencies or unanticipated situations. Margin is the gap between rest and exhaustion, the space between breathing freely and suffocating.

Hi Mike - I learned you're the grandson of Richard Dortch through Youtube. I have your Pop's registration card from his 1987 stay at the Sheraton Kensington Hotel (now Marriott Southern Hills). All these years I intended to sell it, it has his signature on both sides, but if you'd like to have it I'd rather just give it to you. It's just a silly little thing you might like to have. I'd be happy to mail it to your church or where ever. Kind Regards, Scott in Temple TX
Hi Scott!
I got the stub in the mail, but I’m just now seeing this message. Thank you for sending that to me, and thank you for solving a puzzle that has been on my mind for weeks. I was trying to track down the other name on the registration, and trying to think of people I know (or my grandpa would have known) in Temple, Tx.
Thank you for thinking of me and for going to the trouble of mailing it to me. It was nice to see his signature again, and to feel close to him again. It came at a perfect time.
In grace,
Mike
How should we think about church? As "A place where..." or As "A people who...?

Tonight at dinner: "What are you thankful for Daddy?" - This image popped into my head...& an image of Tapatío Salsa Picante (hot sauce), but I don't have a fancy photo of the bottle. (at Broken Arrow, Oklahoma)
"Maybe the most sacred function of memory is just that: to render the distinction between past, present, and future ultimately meaningless; to enable us at some level of our being to inhabit that same eternity which it is said that God inhabits." - Frederick Buechner

Our world is pretty messed up. With all the violence, pollution and crazy things people do, it would be easy to turn into a grouchy old man without being either elderly or male. There's certainly no shortage of justification for disappointment and cynicism.But consider this: Negative attitudes are bad for you. And gratitude, it turns out, makes you happier and healthier. If you invest in a
How quickly we drift away from a posture of thankfulness. At our church we have a saying, "We own, but are not entitled." There is a thick line between ownership and entitlement. It's my hunch that the line is marked by a switch in our perspective. When we think we "should have," "deserve," or "better get," we are moving away from speaking terms with happiness (as this article suggests). What are you thankful for?
1 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.
2 “I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.”
4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran. 5He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there.
6 Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. 7The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspringI will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
8 From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord.
9 Then Abram set out and continued toward the Negev.
2 Corinthians 5:16-21 God offers us a chance to become brand new creations, a chance to reconcile, through Jesus. You are no longer judged or evaluated by your possessions, your accomplishments, or your reputation. When you give your life to Jesus, you are judged by what Jesus did.
There are few perks to bring a Pastor's Kid. However, Monday movies while I trouble shoot & test projectors is one of them.
It's hard to respect someone who thinks they are the most important person in the room, or someone who thinks that his or her needs are more important than everyone else's. Check out this weeks message from Pastor Mike about discipleship.
So often we operate like our needs are more important than the needs of others. Here are some thoughts on Holiness and Humility from the book of John.
