Peace and serenity. We all seek it, we all crave it and we all need it. But where is it exactly? You may be like me and think it’s just in the absence of noise or conflict. But it’s not in the absence those things. It’s the tranquil feeling that’s not dependent on you circumstances. The peace we...
spiritual-growthOctober 13, 2022
So, I’m sitting at the Braves game yesterday waiting for the rain delay to end, randomly thinking I needed to wash my plane and for some reason, I reminded myself of a saying I heard somewhere along the way that said, “it’s not clean until a rags hit it”. Got me thinking that this simple task of...
materialismSeptember 19, 2022
So I had a great conversation over the weekend with a buddy on this devotional chain about the different stages we’ve been through in life as it pertained to “stuff” we acquired. And when I mean stuff, I’m talking about the fancy cars and expansive homes, etc. We basically concluded that as we ge...
patienceSeptember 16, 2022
Let keep talking about listening to God and looking for his answers. “for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”James 1:3-4 Look, I think it’s pretty evident that God sp...
responsibilityAugust 20, 2022
You ever feel like you have such a huge load or responsibility you find yourself ducking them or delegating them to someone else? I certainly do. But getting someone else to do them doesn’t change the fact you’re responsible for them. But when you take up the responsibility that’s in front of you...
humilityAugust 18, 2022
Todays topic has been on my mind a couple days now and I knew I had written about it in the past. Well, I found it, we discussed it back in October of 2019…we’ve been at this a while!I’m sure many of you have heard of C.S. Lewis. He was a prominent 20th century theologian who said, “Humility is n...

mindsetJuly 19, 2022
What are you thinking about? What are you feeding your mind? What we allow our minds to focus on influences our actions. That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to what we are thinking about. I can tell you it’s been critical for me the last two weeks! But seriously, are you focusing on joy...
gods-planJuly 14, 2022
You ever notice that when we finally get out of whatever it is we are suffering from it never seems to be the way we thought we would get out of it? Like during our suffering we could never understand or see the way out that God has for us. It’s because it’s His plan for us not our plan for us. H...
witnessingJune 30, 2022
So, I’ve been reading through Philippians and talking about how we need to get to work to spread the word of Jesus. It’s been enlightening reading about Paul and his struggles and his witness. But it’s been brought up to me and asked, “how exactly do we be an effective witness?”Well, look at it l...
humilityJune 28, 2022
“So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility coun...
faithJune 22, 2022
As I sit here watching the sun come up this morning, I can’t help but marvel at the beauty God has made. How do I know he made it? Well, I have faith that he did. It’s the same faith that I have in Him that allows me to grow closer to Him. You see, developing a love for God is a little more chall...
hypocrisyJune 14, 2022
Ya’ll know I tend to write what is on my heart. It’s what helps me drive the content I send each morning. Well, last night walking the dogs, I got frustrated and said something pretty “off color” and it really bothered me. You ever stopped and thought about why so many people often quit going to...
peaceJune 2, 2022
So I’ve been reading and writing about “finding peace” of and on for a year now. To me, it is one of the most essential parts of my relationship with Christ. My vision of Jesus, in part, is peace. But I have learned recently about a phrase that young students in seminary school are taught and tha...
repentanceMay 3, 2022
“There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And he answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? No, I tell you; but unless...
perseveranceApril 26, 2022
Grinding it out and persevering builds character. Plain and simple. Something about endurance has the incredible capacity to refine you. I guess it’s kind of like a fire for silver, removing impurities and strengthening the character. Often because endurance goes hand-in-hand with trials and tria...
bible-studyApril 20, 2022
A few weeks ago I finally broke down and actually purchased a new study Bible. It’s been fun and I’ve enjoyed some of the reference that I hadn’t had before. But something struck me as I was messing around with it and reading different books in the Bible…Read the instructions. So I’m like you and...

evangelismMarch 25, 2022
What are you really into? What do you spend most your time thinking and talking about?Most that know me would say that I’m really into flying, motocross or being with my dogs. But is that what they will say when I’m gone? I hope not. I hope I’m remembered as a man who also talked about his love o...
bible-studyMarch 18, 2022
On occasions, I get some feedback from y’all and I have to say, it makes my day. Yesterday, was one of those days. I am grateful for my little audience. To me you’re the world.
