Lady Pushups

Do you agree that there is some irony in that restarting an exercise program is not just like riding a bike? I have begun to take this self development to another level. OK maybe a 1/2 a level, but we are moving. But it has not begun without complication. Somewhere around year 40 I started getting

The Sting

About three weeks ago, I looked into the mirror and alarmingly asked myself, “Was I stung by bees in the middle of the night? Should I chug some Benadryl?” My face was swollen. Wait, my whole body was swollen. After making sure my throat wasn’t closing up, I stepped on the scale…….. 180lbs?! I muttered

Psalm 91

Today is going to be a challenging one. We bury a friend and servant today. Covid has gotten even closer and it has made our world unnerving and sad. While preparing for the funeral with the family they admitted that their emotions were also all over the place. I was reminded in that moment of

The Beggar

Last week, we talked about asking God for help. Do you struggle with that as much as I do? I have always hated asking for help. After high school, I struck out on my own as fast as I could. My family was great and all, but having my independence was much better. I was

The Struggle Bus

Last week I wrote about this scripture God had whispered in my ear.  Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19 Don’t you just love that God is still trying to be

A New Thing

Last night I was reminded of my friend discussing a Texas storm. How fast one can blow up and how while watching one God reminded him how fast He can change things.  I watched this coastal storm blow through the beach while on a short vacation this week. It was quite a spectacle to watch,

Not Weakness – Symbiosis

I played golf this week for Father’s Day. My brother Kevin is a new dad and we exploited it as a perfect excuse to start a new tradition. It is nearly impossible for my brothers and me to align our schedules to play golf so I was incredibly excited to spend the evening hitting 9

Beast Mode Perfected

Did you know that the distance from your brain to your heart is only 18 inches? That’s it! They are just 18 measly inches away from one another, but some days it seems that what I know in my head, and what I believe in my heart are miles away from each other. Have you

My Biased View

Yesterday, on my way to work, I stopped at a stop sign and then I pulled out in front of a woman on a very busy street. Thankfully this did not turn into an accident, however, it was nearly close. The large truck next to me had completely blocked my view of an oncoming car.

I Don’t Know

As an adult, as a man, as a leader, “I Don’t Know” are some of the hardest words to speak. 2020 has proven that although sometimes I may have a good idea what is going on, I sure don’t know much that is for certain. In the book of James he writes to not state
