You ever feel like your waiting for God’s plan for you? I sure do, but what if all this waiting isn’t really us waiting for God but rather Him waiting for us? What I am getting at is who is actually doing the waiting? We may think it’s us, but we could be wrong. Think about when Abraham asked God...
trialsJuly 1, 2019
Going to be a short week with the Holiday and travels but let’s make it count. So over the weekend Valerie was telling me about a friend who was going trough some tough times. While I certainly feel empathy I couldn’t help but reflect on the fact the If you live long enough in this world, you wil...

Y’all remember the trend many years ago that we all wore in our arms and stuck bumper stickers on our cars that said, “WWJD”? (What would Jesus Do)I’ve been reading about how we should watch what we say and how we act and this came to mind. Why ever happened to it? Did we figure out what Jesus wo...
perseveranceMay 7, 2019
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 26, 2019
Ok folks, this next comment is mainly focused to us men, but ladies it applies to you too. Read the instructions...It’s OK to read THIS manual! 😂So I’m like you and often just wish sometimes that life had an instruction manual? Well, actually God has given us one. It’s called The Bible; it’s our...
witnessJanuary 25, 2019
So this has been weighing heavy on my heart today so I want to discuss it. Should we care what people think of us? Should we care what we post on social media? I mean, we hear all the time, “God’s judgement is the only one that matters”, right? While I agree with the later, I disagree. We should...
forgivenessDecember 27, 2018
So, I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and got a chance to spend it with family and friends. I sure did. The down time (and hundreds of Merry Christmas texts) got me thinking about friends I’ve seen and those I haven’t in a long time. I started thinking about the “why” behind the absence...
integrityDecember 21, 2018
Sorry for the late delivery yesterday, I posted my devotional and forgot to hit send...happens, I seem to do more and more of that these days. Anyhow, let’s talk some more about integrity and how we end up compromising our integrity and why. Choosing anything but God’s truth leads us to compromis...

So, as I was washing my Motocross bike on Sunday, 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 cleaning my bike could be a metaphor for our relationship with Christ. You see...
scripture-studyDecember 17, 2018
“Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.”Revelation 1:3Each weekday I’ve been writing about what I read in my daily study of the Word and I hope you are enjoying it. With that said, ar...
humility-characterOctober 23, 2018
It seems like every time I open up social media or watch TV, there are posts about self help, self talk, the inner self, love yourself...blah blah blah. While there’s nothing wrong with wanting to better ourselves, God has plans for us. But all this “self” gets misconstrued when we describe a lif...
evangelism-testimonyOctober 17, 2018
When our witness is called to be put into practice we need to be ready. It happened today, and not from a stranger but a close loved one. I was ready, at least I hope I was...I finished Tim Tebow’s devotional a week back, but the last one I read from him was so profound, I wanted to share it with...
humility-characterOctober 15, 2018
“"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean.”Matthew 23:25-26 So, am I really tha...
evangelism-testimonySeptember 28, 2018
Day 7So, as I work to get better at sharing God’s message, I am finding inspiration daily from many different mediums. The Bible of course, daily devotionals and life as it comes to me, good or bad. But as we continue our discussion on God’s Plan, I read earlier in the year in Susan Young’s “Jesu...
peaceSeptember 21, 2018
Day 3Funny how little things can get us worked up into such a fury that we forget to see all the good around us...Like the saying, “we miss the forest because of the trees” I suppose. I’ve come to believe that this is Evil’s way of distracting us from seeing God’s grace and all the mercies he has...
