My Featured Blogger this week is Steve Beckham of Thoughts Along the Way. Steve is the pastor of a Southern California church, but he also has “wordly” experience in advertising and voice-over (which he still does). “The upshot of all that,” as he puts it, “is that I tend to see the world and the church–especially the church–a little differently than many others who wear that funny collar.” He does indeed. Refreshingly and insightfully so.
This piece on the healing power of laughter, has a healing power of its own. But Steve’s more serious entries have power, as well (take the time to read his most recent post “Time to Wake Up”). Join him Along the Way. You’ll be glad you did!
