Well, I want to wish all of you a Happy New Year. This is that time where we all take inventory of our lives. We look at what we did or did not accomplish last year and make resolutions to drive our focus for this new year. As I myself have begun my own personal…

Enough about you, let me tell you a bit about myself! I like attention. I like to be in charge. I like people to praise me for my skills and accomplishments. I dont like to take crap from anyone! And I dont need anyone, other than to compliment me! I am extremely smart, smarter than…

Sitting at the airport, looking through the blog of a fellow seeker and just had to share this:>

As we head into celebrating Christmas, the day celebrated by Christian’s as the birth of Christ, I thought I would post a few thoughts about Him. Jesus never spoke of salvation as a recitation of a prayer. Thats right I said it! Now if you are like me and grew up in the Bible belt…

Purpose! Think about that for just a moment, what is your purpose? Why did God create you and put you on this planet? I thinnk the book of Genesis starts the answer to that question . . . Gen 1:26 – 29 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness,…

Over the years of adulthood and being a believer I have encountered many different perceptions about friends, relationships and what they should look like. I have heard sermons preached that cover the spectrum to men should have only one female friend, their spouse to their should be no relational boundries in our lives. I mean…

It seems like it has been a little bit since I felt that I had the wherewithal to put my scattered thoughts down in written form. With the onset of the holidays, the finalization of my divorce and just the business of life and my four amazing kids, I have been somewhat retreated from the…

Conflict! Some people love it, others hate it. Some it energizes and others it drains. I often laugh in church as leaders will present the early church as a single unified body and present to us that we are inherently off when we have conflict in the church. I personally believe that to be a…

Today, breath deep and release Allow your soul to find peace Time ushers forward at a relenting pace but come away to solitude place A brief second, or a long minute Take time to see what is in it A paue, a moment to see can seem like an eternity Moments, they are like love…

Trains of thought are funny things. Yesterday, after picking my children up from their mothers, we were on the way home and they started a discussion about what they would be willing to do for 1 million dollars. This was one of those moments as a parent, your ears perk up and you listen… The…

I don’t know about you, but I hate to fail. But no matter how much I hate it, I do. Over and over. Not always in the same way (although occasionally that does happen!), but each test/trial of life brings new opportunity to succeed or fail. However, when we fail, it is not always bad.…

We all have them. Moments or things that cause us to reflect on our lives. For me, September is a biggy. The first part of the month is an intense reminder of my failed marriage. My anniversary is on the 7th, this year would have been 19 years. She moved out on the 10th, this…

I awoke this morning, and for the first time in a long time felt things were better. As I awoke, I remembered that my kids were home again! The summer break was nearly over and it was time to come back home. How I missed them! For those of you who are parents, you know…

Do you know what the #1 grossing box office hit of 1976 was? I will give you a couuple of clues; it won 3 Academy Awards, grossed 117.2 million domestically and $225 million internationally. It was inspired by a true story. It’s film props were placed in the Smithsonian Museum. The script for the movie…

I love to travel. One of the experiences in travel that I enjoy is riding in taxi’s. What a unique experience. Each one different. Over the years I have found one thing fairly consistent in cabs, and that is the dashboard icons. There are several that are popular, Mary and Jesus being the two most…

I have this manicured patch of weeds in my front yard! A green thumb I definitely do not have. Gardening is one of those things that I consider work way more than relaxation. I think it goes back to my childhood. Living in rural East Texas, many folks have a garden each year. For us,…

In a recent conversation, I was asked “Do you think you are honoring God with your life/actions?” For some reason this question gripped me and sent me down the proverbial rabbit hole, so I thought I would take you with me a bit. So come along as I consider things. I think to answer such…

Growing up in the early to mid 70’s, there was one singer that my mom adored and always listened to, Elvis Presley. When Elvis died it was a time of mourning around our home, almost as if a member of the family died. I grew to enjoy not only his music but also his movies.…

Contentment is a strange thing. I believe it is something we all seek after, or more aptly put, we seek after things which we believe would bring contentment. As a young boy growing up in East Texas, my father used a phrase that often echoes from my own lips to my children when we go…
