“We may have to deliver your baby prematurely to save her life.” Those words made us nervous. We discovered very early in pregnancy that our daughter Abby had some heart conditions. An extra electrical pathway caused her heart to race 200+ beats per minute. She was born close to full […]
This summer I was invited to the home of a pastor friend to fellowship with some other pastors. What made this even more exciting was they all pastor very large churches across the United States and most of them were conference speakers and authors of several books (I even had […]
I joined a gym about two months ago and have committed to working out 4-5 times a week. So far, so good. One of the things I noticed with this particular gym was certain benefits I received as I attended. I receive points for checking in, working out so many […]
What does it mean to be a real man of God? This morning I went to the gym to workout. I know that working out at a gym seems funny to say but there were a lot of people there hanging out, flexing out, and even one crazy lady freaking […]
The other day I was reading Genesis 2:24-25, God’s creation of marriage. Jesus quotes it (Matthew 19:5-6) and so does Paul (Ephesians 5:31) thus affirming it as the definition of marriage. It says, “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, […]

Recently, I had been gone to a pastor’s conference and away from my family. Needless to say, when I got back home late the first night I was ready to see them. I made a point to seek them out individually when I walked in the door. My four year […]
Are you bitter over what others have done to you? Hebrews 12:15 says, “See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.” Bitterness doesn’t just hurt you – it hurts many others. Whenever […]
Do you have any scars? There is one on my left knee from a chainsaw, one on my right ear from when my mom tried to save a few bucks on a haircut, another on my left pinky when I stabbed a tree with my new Swiss Army knife that […]
