You’re Worth It

I love garage sales. I love the adventure of hunting for random deals. You never know what you'll find out there on the garage sale circuit but it just might be the deal of a lifetime! Well, maybe it's not that glamorous and exciting but it does make me think about value. I've learned that … Continue reading You’re Worth It

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

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

Things You Can’t Buy This Christmas

Merry Christmas! I saw this slogan for a retail store recently: "Peace and joy sold here." This typifies our cultural mindset that you can 'buy happiness'. Christmastime is the peak of this thinking as everyone plans their gift lists and their 'get' lists. When I was reading in Matthew this week I was drawn into the … Continue reading Things You Can’t Buy This Christmas

Behind The Scenes

When I was 16 I worked for a community theater company as a stage hand. In between scenes I had to move props and sets. Some of the sets were so large they even had to be on wheels. When it was our turn to work the curtain would close and we'd rush in and … Continue reading Behind The Scenes

Grace Trumps Hate

After one of the most confusing and unpredictable elections in recent American history most people's emotions are running high. Social media has been flush with very colorful opinions. I intentionally try and stay out of political posts or conversations but perhaps this is an opportunity worthy of chiming in. I don't have a Political Science … Continue reading Grace Trumps Hate

There’s No Place Like Home

They say "absence makes the heart grow fonder". Hopefully, that applies to those who read my blog! I have taken a 3-month hiatus from writing during one of the most stressful times of my adult life. I can say however that God has used these past months to draw me closer to Him and give … Continue reading There’s No Place Like Home

Tattoos On The Heart

"(Our) rules and practices have merely deadened our humanity, instead of setting it free to develop richly, in all its capacities, under the influence of grace." - Thomas Merton Yesterday my children broke all the rules. It was a day of constant warnings, discipline, and teaching. Finally, at bedtime, I had reached my limit and I … Continue reading Tattoos On The Heart

Jesus Is Not For Rent

My wife and I have once again embarked on the stressful journey towards buying a home. We have enjoyed our renting days but the time has come to step out into a new chapter called ownership. Suddenly, I realized there was a spiritual lesson going on under the surface. All too often we treat our … Continue reading Jesus Is Not For Rent

In Your Face Grace

If there is one thing people don’t ever want to do it's clean bathrooms! And, a close second is being the “bad guy”. No one wants to be the bad guy. Perhaps being the “bad guy” is not always such a bad thing though. We all squirm and get sweaty palms just thinking about it … Continue reading In Your Face Grace
