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!”

Good Works
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”
No Waste in the Wait
I have had a pretty bad run lately. It has seemed like every thing I try to do fails and everything I touch just falls apart. Bad news after sickness. Sickness after struggle. Struggle after failure. The hits just keep on coming. We have all been there. And for most of us the natural reactionContinue reading “No Waste in the Wait”
Isolation
I am no stranger to spending time alone. For years I have traveled for work and often spend time in hotel rooms lost in a book, movie, podcast, or wasting time on social media. I have no problem sitting alone with my own thoughts. But in those cases, there was always the option to haveContinue reading “Isolation”
A Job Well Done
Yesterday was probably the most successful day I have ever had in my career. My team accomplished things that made our company more profitable than we have been since I started with the company, almost 10 years ago. It took a ton of long days, tireless effort, and all hands on deck teamwork. I amContinue reading “A Job Well Done”

And while there are teams of people working to ensure this success, it is my area of responsibility. If I fail to forecastContinue reading “We all need help”
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?”
