If I’m being honest, this is a question I wrestle with more often than I’d like to admit: Am I enough? Am I a good enough leader at work? Do I belong in the rooms I’m invited into, or am I just faking it until someone finds me out? Am I a good enough husband—lovingContinue reading “Am I Enough?”

No Waste in the Wait
Where is God calling me? I have gotten very clear and poignant messages on direction from God for a good part of my life. I haven’t always listened. But what is surprising to me is the lack of direction He is providing currently in my life. I still get God Nod’s or Nudges and confirmationsContinue reading “No Waste in the Wait”
Yes, I Will
This morning, in my quiet time, I started off feeling like a disappointment to God. I am pretty consistently in the word. And I listen to more sermons per week than I ever thought was humanly possible, via podcasts, church re-plays, and live in-person preaching. A constant theme in most of these messages is howContinue reading “Yes, I Will”
Politics Schmolitics
For those of you that know me personally, you know that I have no desire to debate politics with you, unless of course you are my oldest son. If you are my oldest son, I will debate politics with you – because we have very similar beliefs but my number one job as your fatherContinue reading “Politics Schmolitics”
What do I do?
So many times, as men, we define ourselves by the career we are in or what we do for a living. You can witness this by the very first question we ask each other upon introductions – “what do you do?” And that’s IF we weren’t introduced by our name quickly followed by our profession.Continue reading “What do I do?”
Never Enough
How many times have you said, “If I could just make more money” or “If I could just get that new [whatever]” – then – then I will be happy? I have said this my entire life. And it has driven me to accomplish quite a bit. I would even say it has consumed meContinue reading “Never Enough”
Peace Comes From Trust
So many times we expect that once we accepted Christ as our savior, life will get easy. We have this unrealistic expectation that walking with Christ will be an easy and smooth path. That our trials and tribulations died on the cross with Him. This is not the Promise. In fact – the Bible warnsContinue reading “Peace Comes From Trust”
Anxiously Astray
Looking back over my life it is clear to me now that I have always struggled with anxiety. While most of the time this “thorn in my flesh” has been very mild and some times not detectable at all – there have been times where its crippling grip has shut me down for days atContinue reading “Anxiously Astray”
My Desk
My desk wasn’t always a desk. The main component, the desk top itself, is much older than me. It is an interesting collection of hand-cut hardwood planks held together by hand-forged metal banding. It was never intended to be a desk. In fact, it was created for a very different purpose. It was originally createdContinue reading “My Desk”
From Why Not? to YES!
One year ago today, I walked into the ocean with my wife and two sons. I stood there as I watched both of my boys be submerged in the waves and smiled uncontrollably as they were brought out of the water with new life. Then they turned to my wife and I and, just asContinue reading “From Why Not? to YES!”
