One o...

When You've Reached Your Limit
Ever feel like you could just scream or punch something? Yeah, me too! You see, no matter how much we want to put our hope and aspirations on people and things of this world, inevitably we will be let down.

Bringing Hope to a World Full of Doubt
As we fall into November with too much candy in our bellies, I wanted to touch on something I’ve been kicking around all week, doubt. While we talk about hope and good fruit all the time it seems as though it “pays better” to promote the opposite. You see, we sure live in a world of skepticism an...

True Joy: When You Have Jesus, You Have Everything
I was just thinking last night about our country and the incredibly corrupt politicians and now nice it is that I have mostly tuned it out. I’m just not interested in giving it any more life than it deserves. “Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in he...

Attitude: Beyond Feelings to Christ
Attitude determines so much of our lives. It governs the way we perceive the world and the way the world perceives us. It drives behavior and sets the tone for conversations. Attitude literally affects every area of our lives, yet most of us don’t have a good handle on it...but we can. I’m trying...

Bringing Out the Best in Others Through Conversation
So, my readings of late are taking me down the road of conversations we have with others, how not to be in a comparison game with others and generally how to “be Nice” and not be offensive. I’m told at times I can be “to honest” and not sensitive to others although I never intend to offend anyone...

The Power of Positive Thinking
So I have noticed a big shift in my thinking over the last couple years since my diagnosis and beginning treatment. The biggest and most welcoming being I refuse to spend much time in the negative. I’ve been intentional about spending time doing what I love and with those I love. Making time for...

Do You Want to Be Happy or Right?
I had someone tell me years ago, “do you want to be happy or right?” Pretty good question I think, because we all want to be happy and we usually want to be right. Right? Think about the last argument you had, did you win? Did you prove you were right at the expense of the other person? You may h...

First, I grabbed a verse from James. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.”James 1:17 N...

What This World Needs Is Some Jesus
Last week I spend my vacation deep into the Ozark Mountains competing in a National Backcountry Flying event. I had zero, nada, zip, not even a little bit of cell service until I re-entered society yesterday. Let me tell you, it was amazing! There was probably over a thousand people there between...

Joy Beyond Circumstances: Jesus Has Overcome the World
Jesus said in John 16:33, “In this world, you will have trouble…”That’s almost like a disclaimer for life on earth , you are going to have trouble, whether you are in Christ or not. But the hope that we have is what separates us from the world, and that is why Jesus goes on to say, “But take hear...

The Power of Words: Life or Death
Let’s talk about the words that come out of our mouths for a moment. These words can be from in person speech to the written word…they can also be from how we respond to someone’s comments as well. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.”Proverbs...
