Before you begin here, did you begin here? See How To Overcome The Challenge Of Change “Every man dies, but not every man truly lives.” ~ William Wallace, Braveheart Prologue: The scriptures indicate that there is a season for everything. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) Seasons bring change, but if you’re like me, you don’t like that. Or, in the very least, you’re uncomfortable with …
To Us A Son Is Born (To Die) – Death: It’s What’s For Dinner (part 2)
Recall: Last time (see “Death: It’s What’s On The Menu”), as we dove into the topic of Easter, we looked at Job 40:15-24 and I asked you if anyone has ever told you that you look like you eat well. Or perhaps, “You have a big mouth.” Random, for sure. But it was different, and when it comes to celebrating …
Easter: You Make Me Come Alive!
Do you see? The very fact that you are reading this already answers that question for most of you. My question, however, might not be as rhetorical as you think. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal …

As each December 31st rolls around, I find myself always asking, “Where did that year go?!” It’s not how it was growing up. The days of molasses have been replaced by a blinding blur. Let’s …
Why Did I Say That?! (My car is so vain!)
Irony is just honesty with the volume cranked up. ~ George Saunders Two things in life constantly remind me of God’s humor: flatulence and irony. And let’s face it, both can stink sometimes! Last week, I used my new car as an example of how pleased we are when things work (see “Your So Vain” post). The benefits of enduring …
You’re So Vain (You Probably Think This Blog Is About You!)
I recently had a car break down. Every summer my vehicle feels the need to declare it’s hatred for me. I’ll just be plugging along the highway with a bazillion cars behind me then, WHAMO!, all of a sudden I’m blocking rush hour traffic. But at least I can cook eggs on the road while waiting for a tow in …
Just Inspired
Hey gang! It’s been a while, I know. Lots going on with the birth of our 3rd child, Elias, around the corner and all the doctor drama we’ve been encountering (search “ELIAS” for updates from the wifey)! Anywho, my oldest child just turned five today, and I’m in a little shock over it. WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE? Am I …
