About

Some of you may know me from my first appearance on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno.  Others may know me as a father of three handsome sons, husband of one amazing wife, a pastor, student, church planter, janitor, businessman, author, construction worker, professor, graphics & web designer, or salesman.  Regardless of how you know me, welcome to More Than Cake.

I have been blogging in one fashion or the other since the late 1990′s.  When I started, the word “Blog” had not even been coined.  I had to custom build each post with HTML and manually insert links into all the other pages on my site… the internet has changed a lot since then and so have I.  My blog has gone through many changes in that time and this newest iteration will focus on Theology, Philosophy, Culture and information related to the College courses I teach.

I am also striving to keep More Than Cake focused on my writing and video education tools.  If you want to know more about where I am speaking or teaching, then check out EmergingLife.Org

So while the content may be a bit different than in the past, the purpose of More Than Cake remains the same.  What does the name mean?

At the time of the French revolution, King Louis XVI and his queen Marie Antoinette were living large while the people starved. The price of a bread loaf, the staple of the French diet, cost as much as a year’s wage and neither the King or queen cared one bit. Marie never uttered the now infamous words, “Let them eat cake,” but that phrase describes well her attitude of ambivalence toward the hungry masses.

Many folks in the world today are starving for the nourishment that can only come from sound reasoning. Yet too many “leaders” demonstrate the same queenly arrogance in thinking that sound thinking is too much for our little peasant tummies to handle. So instead of offering the nourishing bread of truth, they offer the sweet tasting crumbs of leftover cake.

So I invite you all to come, sit, think with me, and be nourished by the Bread of Life.
