Merry Christmas From The Scott Family

I’ve been on a quiet, steady, non-hyper search for a robe. I’ve browsed several frocks online and in person. I mostly see housecoats and bathrobes. I need a garment of love… a tender, relational covering of a robe. The robe I’ve been looking for must be just right. It’s gotta be softer than the “ultra” most robe marketing touts. Cost is extremely negotiable if the perfect robe is located. The task has been great, the labor nothing short of love.…

When you’re traveling through an airport, do you take the people mover? Do you defiantly walk and race others under your own power because you can AND you’re just not that lazy? I take the people mover every time. I feel smarter as I out smart the health nuts trying to out maneuver with only physical fortitude. I beat them to the gate every time. And THAT is the goal. However, sometimes there are those ridiculous people who get on…

Years ago, here’s how the whole worship wars went down in so very many churches. As the era of Hymnal rule began to fade, video projectors starting lighting up many church buildings across America. By lighting up, I mean tempers and blood pressures were going up. Video projectors promoted heads lifted to sing new songs. Worship choruses were written by people who were still very much alive. Is there value in both ancient and modern forms of worship? Of course!…

Some eleven million kids will open up a Christmas shoebox this year. Inside the really good boxes will be a soccer ball to inflate, a child-sized striped tee shirt, a flashlight with batteries, a new plastic cup, soap and a plastic soap dish with cover, a toothbrush with a toothbrush cover, colored pencils, a jump rope, sunglasses, and a harmonica. THAT would be a great Christmas shoebox! The child receiving it would be absolutely, 100%, without-a-doubt elated. They will treat…

I hope this day after Thanksgiving has you saying, “Man, I love the holidays!” May the lingering affect of family gathered and expectations of another Christmas enable your neurotransmitters to fire on all cylinders and lavish your soul with eggnog flavored dopamine. What ARE your expectations of Christmas? Warmth, giving, loving, family, friends, candy canes, and gingerbread houses may all be frontrunners on your holiday expectations list. Does Jesus make your yuletide potential list? Does the gospel cause expectation or…

My Chicago Christmas CDs just arrived. Those old rockers who cranked out “Saturday In The Park” can also do a mean “Little Drummer Boy.” Did I mention I bought two Chicago Christmas albums? One CD has all the songs of the other plus a few more. I call it a rock and roll, Chicago Christmas rip-off! I’m a little holiday flustered. It’s totally a first world problem. One week from today, some 89 billion people will dive into the chaos…

Perhaps a pastor should never be political. However, it’s Friday and I’m tanked on coffee. Let’s give’er a rip. My inbox is clear for new arrivals. I’ve got concerns about Donald Trump. Mind you, my personal political concerns are on both sides of the aisle, but the Trump thing went a bit crazy yesterday with his stump rant. Have you heard of few of his sound bytes yet? Trump is for Trump. His tower is a monument to self and…

God’s got a plan. Sometimes it’s tough to see. Other times, especially with 20/20 hindsight, it’s as clear as the Georgia blue skies we vaguely remember (anyone tired of the misty rain and fog yet?)! My third daughter is a junior in high school. We get about 5 postal inquiries a day from colleges trying to recruit her. All the college mailers boast their solution to Morgan’s plan. They ALL have their own plan for Morgan’s plan. In fact, in…

What a crazy week. I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain. (Uhm, is that a song?) I’ve seen blessings and I’ve seen curse. Allow me to explain… I was able to speak at a very healthy church last Sunday, while Kevin Cash was knockin’ it out the park here at CCC. Blessing. I had some great juice walks/talks with my smokin’ hot wife. Blessing. Dinners with the family and much laughter are always great. Blessing. The work God continues to…

Rainbows are beautiful things to behold. When was the last time you really soaked one in? This past summer I was able to sit beachside as a storm passed. The sun peeked through some huge, threatening clouds, and a gorgeous rainbow appeared. I was sure there actually WAS a pot of gold somewhere — or at least a bowl of Lucky Charms. This Sunday we’re pouring over the first seventeen verses of Genesis chapter nine. Our text is famous for…
