Winning the Race That Matters: Eternal Perspective
Sport, like life, has winners and loser. It’s always has and it always will. Despite the wishes of a seemingly blind new culture that wants to teach us “fairness” and insulate of from pain and failure, you will lose and things won’t always go your way. But that’s ok. You see, when we walk with Ch...

The Vagrant Faith: Having Everything, Owning Nothing
What are you trying to hang on to that Jesus wants you to let go of, and turn it over to him for safekeeping? I’ve had to give up some things in my life that I thought I never could, but ultimately brought me closer to Christ. “This earth is not my home, I’m just passing through.” How many times...

Racing for God: Finding Your Mission Field
As many of you know, I’ve been racing motocross for quite some time. While there certainly isn’t any financial gain to the sport, extreme risk, I am certain that God has blessed me with this opportunity for His good as well as mine. Just like David says in Psalm 138, I know the Lord has a purpose...

God's Guidance After Life's Disappointments
This weekend, the promoters decided to throw out a test/moto that cost me the OA win on Saturday. While it affected me negatively, and was a huge bummer, it helped some. But I laid it on God to right my heart and he did. I’ve made the decision to stop wasting time with things that keep me from be...

You Don't Deserve It, But God Gives It Anyway
I don’t know about you, but I get the “I don’t deserve this...” feeling a lot when I think about what God has done for me and my life. His salvation alone can be bewildering at times. It’s the opinion we have about ourselves and our past or present. You see, we have one set of convictions about o...

Grace to Start Over: A Different Life Beyond Understanding
One of the things I think about a lot is the grace that God has shown me. Like in the song, “I was blind but now I see..”. But no matter how grateful I am, I still have the moments when I think back on my life to times that make me cringe. I look back and realize no matter how hard I tried, I mad...

Quick to Hear, Slow to Speak: Taming the Tongue
“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;”James 1:19 I’ve been thinking about this verse for a few days now and I think it’s time to discuss it. You see, I fail miserably with all of the above. I know HOW I should behave, I just struggle to...

Don't Live in the Rear-View Mirror
So I’ve have a wonderful 50th birthday and I’ve spent quite a bit of time reflecting on my past, both good and bad. And one of the things I keep coming back to is what and why I feared some of the things I’ve been through and survived and what or why would I fear what’s ahead of me. But fear is o...

Giving God Glory in Victory
So as I sit here in the airport this morning, I can’t help but reflect on a couple of things I saw last night as I watched Clemson win a National Championship. I saw two men giving the glory to God and bearing witness on the biggest stage in college football, The National Championship game!First,...

Don't Let Fear Defeat God's Plan for You

Being Who God Made You to Be
You ever wonder if you’re being who God wants you to be or who others think you should be?“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”Galatians 1:10 Maybe you are worried about what o...

Breaking Free from the Comparison Trap
We live in a competitive world and it’s easy to fall into what I call the “comparison trap”. We all get caught in it sometimes, some more than others. Admittedly, I fall into it a lot. Wanting what others have is the ultimate thief of joy and will leave you in utter disappointment with your life....

Keep Speaking, Don't Be Silent
So, I’ve been thinking today about how I am sharing God’s message and if it is reaching those who need it and what people are doing with what I am sending...Paul didn't know how the people in Corinth would respond to the Gospel, but his purpose was clear. He had the opportunity to share Jesus. Ho...

How are we doing waiting on God’s Plan for us? “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!”Psalms 27:14 You know, when we go for the instant gratification, we give up so much.

Day 6God’s Plan for our life is unfolding before us but often times it’s not visible to us. Most of the time I would say it’s happening so slowly that I’m not sure if it’s happening. But then, when I least expect it and through no effort of my own, God reveals pieces of his plan to me. The things...

!!Day 4 Sorry I missed Monday...racing can be exhausting sometimes. So I’m listening to the radio and I keep hearing Drake’s hit song “God’s Plan”. I can’t really follow the lyrics but the chorus got me thinking about exactly what is “God’s Plan” for us?In Jeremiah 29:11 God tells us, “For I know...
