Matthew 6:21 – “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”Proverbs 13:22 – “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children…” It’s easy to get caught up in the now.Urgency pulls at us constantly- bills to pay, goals to chase, boxes to check. And while there’s wisdom in living withContinue reading “Think Long Term”

A Father’s Day Dadvotional: Standing Strong in Love
I’m about halfway through writing a series about here on Dadvotionals—a journey I expect will span 8 or 9 posts when all is said and done. I am not 100% sure where its leading me – but I am just going with it. If you’ve missed it here they are: You Were Made to ProduceContinue reading “A Father’s Day Dadvotional: Standing Strong in Love”
Present Your Gift
Proverbs 18:16 – “A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before the great.” For years, I felt like I was chasing a job title more than I was chasing purpose. I looked at what everyone else was doing and thought, “Maybe I should be doing that too.” But that pursuit led toContinue reading “Present Your Gift”
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”
The Other Side
To me, one of the most confusing aspects of our world, especially our country, and even in our Church, is the divisive and combative nature of our interactions. It is almost as if we are not allowed to disagree, at least not without despising each other. Sure we all have our opinions. Yes, we allContinue reading “The Other Side”
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”
Everyone Gets a Trophy
Every generation thinks the one before lost touch and didn’t understand the plights our generation faces. And the next generation is soft and has it easier than we do. Neither thought is completely accurate. Many things are easier for each generation, but many things are harder or more complicated. One is not better than theContinue reading “Everyone Gets a Trophy”
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”
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”
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”
