I love being here because that is where ever I am. I will often text Tina when I’m meeting her somewhere and let her know that I’ve arrived. Here is present tense and current. If I’m somewhere else I’m not here. Ok – enough of the play on words. I love this last chapter of…
When I think about my journey with the Lord, I’m guilty of betrayal way too often. There are sins that I think about and some sin seems to happen automatically. I can’t wrap my head around the pain I must cause the Lord when I step off the path He has for me and do…
I have been to many memorial services that are pretty sad. Reflecting on the loss of a friend or family member can be pretty hard. I can still remember lots of cool experiences with my Mammie & Pappy who lived in Kentucky where I grew up. I remember even as an adult sitting on the…
There are opportunities every day to invest in the future. I think it’s wise to prepare for some of the unknowns that could happen to us. At the same time, the Lord talks about living for him in the here and now. If we get so caught up living for the future we can’t smell…

He was an extraordinary heavy weight boxer who became quite successful psyching his opponent out before the fight ever began. He may have been the original inventor of “smack talk”. He was also a…
I’m enjoying reading a book called “Deep & Wide” by Andy Stanley. I was reminded of the amazing concept of Grace. It is kind of crazy and unconventional for the Lord to give me grace when I deserve punishment. His love is amazing, because the love of God is what issues grace. His grace doesn’t…
As a Dad, I’ve had to give direction and guidance to my kids along the way of life. They are amazing and I can’t begin to describe my love for them. Sometimes I think about the journey that brought us here, I forget the really bad times and focus my memory on the good times.…
My heart goes out to people who have been blind since birth. They are missing one of the senses that let so much light into our soul. It seems to me that the senses that they have are heightened due to the fact they can’t see. For example, a blind person seems to hear better…
Our economy is basically defined by our wealth regard the production and consumption of goods. The US Economy has been trying to recover for months now after a steep downturn. It’s interesting to turn on the news and get many different interpretations about our economy and where it’s headed and when. Economists are people who…
