Let There Be Peace

"Only in the darkness can you see the stars." (Martin Luther King Jr.) Last year, when I was in Idaho, I was able to hike up Stevens Peak. It took about 3 hours to climb almost 3,000 feet of elevation. As I emerged from the dense forest at the top there, in front of me, was … Continue reading Let There Be Peace

The Squeeze

I know, I know, it's been awhile since my last blog! I have to be honest with you about two things: I love writing - and writing is not convenient. I suppose my New Year's resolution should be: more consistency with my writing! Well, now that we got that out of the way lets focus … Continue reading The Squeeze

Hearing God’s Voice Through All The Noise

Have you ever tried to have a conversation with someone during a really loud concert or party? The crowd noise, the band, the event all make it difficult to hear correctly. It seems like no matter how loud you shout there is just too much noise going on to communicate clearly and you eventually give … Continue reading Hearing God’s Voice Through All The Noise

Less Selfies, More Selfless

It was a big deal when the Pope visited America last year. People came out by the thousands just to see him, shake his hand, and get a selfie. As the Pope walked by the crowds almost everyone had their phone out and turned in order to get a selfie with the Pope in it. … Continue reading Less Selfies, More Selfless

Restoring What Was Once Lost

I'm back! I know it seems like I must have gotten lost months ago on my way to writing this blog! But, after a busy summer of traveling and ministry, I've found my way back! Have you ever lost something for so long that you forgot it was lost? My mother is famous for doing … Continue reading Restoring What Was Once Lost

Greatness Is Calling Your Name

I remember standing on that stage thinking, “I can’t do this. What was I thinking? I can’t do this.” The crowd waiting in expectation while my body expressed itself in perspiration. What compelled me to think that someone small like me could do anything big? The tension between desire and fear can cripple even the … Continue reading Greatness Is Calling Your Name

Letting Go Of Stress And Embracing Jesus

My friend's stick shift car once broke down in the middle of the road. So, a couple of us jumped to help push it out of traffic. We positioned ourselves at the back and began to push but no matter how hard we pushed it felt like the car was barely moving. It took about … Continue reading Letting Go Of Stress And Embracing Jesus

The NEW Word Diet Is All The Rage

Every other advertisement I see promises me something; better health, happiness, more friends, more money. With each product comes the enticing and yet fickle promise. As good as that weight-loss and diet program is it won't keep me fit and alive forever. As satisfying as that product might be it will never completely satisfy me. And, … Continue reading The NEW Word Diet Is All The Rage

Blot Out The Sun

The sun can be pretty bright. But all it takes is one hand raised between you and the sun to blot out its brilliance. By covering our eyes we can block the sun's light. With one outstretched hand, we can also block the light of God's Son. God's light continues to shine but we don't always … Continue reading Blot Out The Sun

3 Snaps From The Nativity

I've noticed that most teens don't even use text messaging or phone calls anymore. They use Snapchat or some other form of social media networking. It got me thinking about the first Christmas and what it would have been like if these social media outlets were available then. Mary and Joseph, after all, were just … Continue reading 3 Snaps From The Nativity
