Shameless Before God

by John Bagwell on September 30, 2011 · 0 comments

Our church had our Missions Conference recently, and I have had a couple of weeks now to process the event. Like the holidays, it came and went so fast. In three short days, we heard from four missionaries, and I tried to take something home from each of them to help me remember them, their [...]

F4 Fearless

by John Bagwell on September 29, 2011 · 0 comments

This is the fourth article in a four-part series . . . If you have been paying attention, and if you have read the previous three articles over the previous three days, you have been wondering what all this was building up to, and where it was all going. The only problem with the Fearless [...]

F3 Floundering

by John Bagwell on September 28, 2011 · 0 comments

This is the third article in a four-part series . . . Learning to swim was pretty traumatic when I look back on it. Jumping, or getting thrown, into the water for the first time, and the successive times after that, were horrible events. I remember lots of movement, desperate movement, trying to keep my [...]

F2 Favored

by John Bagwell on September 27, 2011 · 0 comments

This is the second article in a four-part series . . . I cannot emphasize this point enough, so get ready. I REALLY like it when everything goes my way. I have to admit it feels good just to see those words in print, think about what they mean, and envision instances in the past [...]

F1 Failed

by John Bagwell on September 26, 2011 · 0 comments

This is the first article in a four-part series . . . When does a man truly fail? What makes a failure complete? I remember being a young man truly afraid of getting my report card. I was six years old and in first grade, and I had no idea how grades came to appear [...]

Here Comes Chaos!

by John Bagwell on September 24, 2011 · 0 comments

I’m a big fan of the TV show Mythbusters. There is something strangely entertaining about watching them work to a conclusion, and seeing the results they document from their different experiments. Part invention, part intuition, and hopefully an explosion helps round out what I can usually expect from watching one of their episodes. The introduction [...]

Your Source

by John Bagwell on September 23, 2011 · 0 comments

For some reason, the unexpected event always seems strange. I woke up one morning, went to the kitchen and pulled a cup from the shelf. I put it under the faucet and turned it on, but nothing happened. No water came out. That is when the obvious hit me – the water is turned off. [...]

What Would You Give?

Watching news the other day, the announcement came down that Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple, was officially stepping down. As the news played out, it showed what to my eyes appeared to be a very thin frail man on a stage somewhere showing off the latest Apple product to an enthusiastic crowd. While it [...]

Buried Treasure

by John Bagwell on September 21, 2011 · 0 comments

A knock came at my door one day, and I heard the voice of my friend asking my mom if I could come out and play. I was out the door in a flash, and me and my friend were off on our bicycles. He had an interesting story to tell. He said that when [...]
