I watched a great interview with Dr. Charles Stanley with @intouchmin in Atlanta. I have watched him from a distance for years as he led First Baptist Atlanta with such tempered wisdom and deep teaching of the Word.  To say I’m impressed with this good man would be quite an understatement. His life reflects what…

When I think of the word “disgrace”, I think of shame. I think of someone who was once “well loved” and “well thought of” who is now embarrassed and broken. On the other hand when I think of “grace”, I think of “blessing and freedom”. I think the opposite of disgrace. I think I understand…

As I get older, I seem to forget things a bit too easy. I find myself racking my brain trying to remember a name of someone who just called me by name. I also seem to forget a particular house that I just showed two weeks ago as I speak with a buyer who would…

It’s very difficult to explain to another person what a calling from God feels or sounds like, unless they’ve felt a calling from Him in their own life.  I work at my listening skills today listening for God to call just like I did as a younger man. I felt clearly called to full time…

If I understand my role in life, and the Lord’s role, then I can have proper perspective.  He is Lord of All and I simply follow Him. If I can keep that perspective, the…

It’s the morning after Christmas and it’s quiet throughout the house.  The anticipation that was Christmas became the experience of Christmas.

When I take a moment to reflect on my journey there is one word that comes to mind – Amazing. I like this word because I find it hard to describe what it means for me. The word amazing carries with it an element of surprise and awe. It brings blessing and hope. I need…

I remember hearing a song called “God Is Good” sung by Don Moen. There were stories of hope and inspiration shared by many because the simple message in those three words inspired people to hang on when everything seemed hopeless. There were three other words that followed in that song as well. The three words…

I love the song by John Mark McMillan called, “How He Loves”, and the story behind the song. I’m not sure I ever really understood just how much God loves me. He created me. When I discovered how much He loves me, everything changed in a good way. I began to understand why I’m here…

I love getting clothes for Christmas because I usually help pick them out. I can get the right color and size that I’m comfortable in.  My wife and I recently became “Thrivers” – we signed up for Thrive Weight Loss and I’ve lost weight. My clothes are a bit big, so I’m getting some new…
