Is knowing God’s will for your life sometimes a little blurry? It would be awesome if He wrote out His will for us on billboards around town or just sent us a message on Facebook or Twitter saying “Here is My will for you today”. There are certain Bible verses that tell me His will

During WWII General Creighton Abrams found himself and his troops surrounded on all sides. With characteristic optimism, he told his officers, “For the first time in the history of this campaign, we are now in a position to attack the enemy in any direction.” Perspective is everything.

When I was in college I had a friend who committed suicide. When I heard he was in trouble, I immediately left my dorm room and searched for him but got there too late. About a month later, I had another friend who had cheated on his wife. He felt like life was over and

Outside of Jesus, I’d say family is the most important relationship I have. To date, we’ve had an incredible 24 years of marriage, 20 years of parenting, hundreds of memories, and one blessed family. One thing we look forward to is vacation together. We’ve learned, the beach really isn’t about the beach. The lake really

In March 2015, after Bruce Jenner underwent a 10-hour surgery to feminize his face, He said after multiple panic attacks, “What did I just do? What did I just do to myself?” When some think about Bruce Jenner and others who identify in gender opposite from their birth, they may be in utter disgust and

Sin, sickness, and enemies – sounds like a recurring theme in the life of David. Psalm 41 marks the end of Book 1 in Psalms. It is divided into five books (1-41, 42-72, 73-89, 90-106, 107-150 with some believing they correspond to the first five book of the Bible). In the first four verses, David
