Since becoming a Christian I have struggled with understanding how the work I do in my career plays a part in building God’s kingdom. How can I possibly be practicing the values and teachings of Christ in my purely secular job? In what way am I making this world better? Am I wasting my timeContinue reading “Good Works”

Thirty
If two months ago, you would have told me that I would have published 30 different writings for the entire world to read, I would have never believed it. I would have panicked at the idea of coming up with 30 topics and enough material to write something anyone would even care to read. ButContinue reading “Thirty”
Truth
We all hear that voice. The one that speaks directly to us, and nobody else hears. It whispers, it shouts, it bleeds in and it drowns out. It has the ability to grab our attention when we are the most focused and determined. It sounds differently to all of us, but it is always there.Continue reading “Truth”
217 vs. 218
Last night, we went to TopGolf – for those of you that aren’t familiar with TopGolf – imagine a trendy bowling alley environment crossed with a golf driving range. It is a lot of fun. On our way my wife and I had a great conversation with our youngest son about his future. Without gettingContinue reading “217 vs. 218”
The Great Qualifier
I am probably one of the least qualified people to write a Christian blog. I am not seminary trained. I do not have a degree from a fancy college. I haven’t lived a life serving the Church. I am not even a seasoned writer. I am grammatically challenged and without spell check, I am prettyContinue reading “The Great Qualifier”
Are You Available?
Most of us feel like there is something more. We feel like we are called to do greater things than we are currently doing. That we should be making more of an impact on this world. Is this you? Do you struggle with God’s plan for you? Do you just want to know what itContinue reading “Are You Available?”
A Clear Message
I start every day with prayer and quiet time, expecting God to speak to me and show me words, thoughts, and/or direction for that day. Most days the message that He is trying to convey is pretty clear. Some days, like today, He hits me in the face with a baseball bat. Usually this isContinue reading “A Clear Message”
You are Called
You are called to do greater things. I don’t know where you are in this world, or in your walk with God. But I know He has a plan for you and is currently exposing to you a step along that path. It may not be what you hoped for or envisioned for yourself. ItContinue reading “You are Called”
Room for Improvement
All of my adult life, I have been driven by an uncontrollable desire to improve. Improve my self, improve my situation, improve a process, improve efficiency, whatever the scenario – I would be looking for a better way. Of course, not every well intended step I took made the situation better. Sometimes it was quiteContinue reading “Room for Improvement”
Conquer Your Jordan
I struggle with negativity, skepticism, cynicism, and distrust. Often this makes me a very sarcastic, introverted, and standoffish. I have been hurt by many people whom I have invested a great deal of trust. Becoming a Christian has not fixed these behavior traits, but it has helped me recognize them. God’s word has helped meContinue reading “Conquer Your Jordan”
