I read in a few places, lately, where the writers said things like, “your own opinion is the only one that matters” They also said “how you see yourself is all that counts” or “you’re the ultimate judge of who and how you are”. These statements are all wrong. If your own opinion is the only one that matters, then don’t read the rest … The rest of the story…
I’m sure you’ll find a lot of websites sharing the famous “I Have A Dream” speech by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today. And that’s a good thing. It was a great speech given by a man dedicated to freedom and justice for all. I encourage you to use the link I’ve provided and read and/or download his speech. One of the best parts of … The rest of the story…
It doesn’t happen every moment, or every hour, or even every day. But I sweat the details when I’m working on projects. So whether I’m working for me, or helping someone else, I have a tendency to zoom in my focus on some of the smallest tasks. Even though I know I shouldn’t do it, I do. OK…note to self: There’s no such thing … The rest of the story…
Has anyone ever said this to you? “You know me better than I know myself.” Or have you ever felt that way about someone else? That they know you better than you know yourself? Sometimes, oftentimes in fact, we’re blind to who and how we are. We get so caught up in who or how we WANT to be that we forget who we … The rest of the story…
How in the world can anything to do with spooky, weeping, hungry poverty bring you any encouragement? That’s a fair question.

It’s a message full of hope, and with everything going on in this world, maybe you could use some more hope. If you … The rest of the story…
Today I’d like to share with you why I love poetry AND science. And why I believe they both show the awesome love of God toward us. You may have heard me talk about or you read where I wrote about how poetic the Bible is. If you don’t believe me, take a stroll through the Psalms and Proverbs for starters. Psalms is another … The rest of the story…
I’d like to share something with you that’s a little spooky but nice. Read this quote and see if sounds like one of those apocalyptic movies. “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of … The rest of the story…
How can someone hating you be a blessing? It seems counterintuitive, but it’s a truth that comes directly from the mouth of Jesus. In Luke 6:22 He said, “Blessed are you when men hate you, And when they exclude you, And revile you, and cast out your name as evil, For the Son of Man’s sake“. Simply put…if it seems like people hate you just because you’re a Christian…then you just might … The rest of the story…
There have been quite a few times when I’ve heard someone say, “I had a good cry, and I feel better now”. Have you ever felt that way? I’ll admit I’m not the crying kind of “sensitive 90’s man”. I guess it stems from my upbringing of “big boys don’t cry”. But it doesn’t mean I’m immune to the troubles of this world. I … The rest of the story…
The Creator of the universe and everything in it said this: “blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be filled.” Imagine how good that must sound to someone who truly knows the gut-wrenching pains of hunger. Blessed are you who hunger now. And later. A couple of days ago I shared another beatitude with you. And I mentioned there are four “positive” … The rest of the story…
