The Necessity of Hope
Have you ever been in a season of life that seemed to be empty of direction? Or maybe you have found yourself wondering if things will ever turn out for the good because of the challenges that may be before you? If so, you are not alone. All of us at some point in our […]
GO
In the book of Joshua, the word that seems to define it is “GO.” At least in the beginning chapters of this amazing account of God’s chosen people. The need, the directive to accomplish anything, starts with the command to “GO.” We are not called to be stagnant or stationary. We are called to “GO” out […]
The End of a Thing
As the year draws to a close, I find myself in my home office reflecting on the swift passage of yet another year. The idea of composing a new blog post crossed my mind, but upon further consideration, I realized I had previously written on this topic. Rather than starting from scratch, I opted to revisit a post I crafted a couple of years ago and give it a refreshed perspective.
The March of Moments
30 years! It may not seem possible, but my wife and I joyfully marked three decades of marriage in August.

The Danger of Doing Nothing
I was only 6 or 7 years old but the memory is still very vivid in my mind. My parents had enrolled me in swimming lessons down at the local pool. Yes, I know what just popped into your mind; “SWIMMING LESSONS FOR A ONE HANDED KID?” How? Let me just say – I can […]
3 Enemies of Moving Forward
Have you ever felt as if there were forces trying to impede your forward progress? Ever felt like giving up and throwing in the proverbial towel because you were overwhelmed by those things that seem to rise up against you? I believe all of us, at one point or another in our life, have felt […]
Victim or Victor
We live in a society where some people have the tendency to blame others for their situation or circumstance. I have met a lot of people that would rather shift the blame to someone or something else than deal with it themselves and this often leads to them living their lives as victims instead of […]
Movement
It was Albert Einstein who stated: Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving There is a lot of truth to that statement and if we are honest, the majority of our issues in life stem from our lack of movement. Let me explain; so often when trouble comes […]
