Over the last few weeks I attempted to share some of the news I’d heard from various sources here on this blog. I wanted to find a way to use this platform to inform those who might not necessarily have time to dig into all of the information that is out there. After spending quite…
The book of Esther is an odd one. Not because of the monumental message it brings about justice and courage, but because there is actually no mention of God throughout the entire book. No mention, yet we know He is all over the situation. Only God could bring things together the way that He does.…
Recently, I heard something that caused me to think a bit more than I wanted to. I watched a video that was sent to me and although I wanted to just disregard it, some of what was said made good sense. I didn’t agree with the whole thing, but there were a few valid points…
My fiftieth birthday is looming. In about two and a half weeks, I’ll be half a century old. This has been weighing on me a bit. Usually, I don’t think twice about getting older. I feel like the lessons I’ve learned over the years have been well-received and that God has always blessed me with…
This past week was challenging. I have a lifelong habit of not being able to ask for help when I need it. In fact, I tend to avoid showing weakness whenever possible. It’s not who I want to be. It’s not something that fits my personality or beliefs. While it’s fine to be someone who…

Was it the enticement of free donuts, free beer, gift cards, work incentives, or maybe even the threat of losing one's job? Was it the constant bombardment by the media and social media of all of the wonderful reasons why we must all stand together and take the shot? Please tell me you weren't mesmerized by John Legend's heartfelt virtue signaling in his recent Walgreen's commercials. I hope those things weren't all you needed to convince you to step into the lion's den.
I’m a big fan of parables. Jesus used these to help emphasize the points He was trying to make with His followers and I believe there is probably no better way to get a point across than to present it as a story. Big surprise there, right? In any case, I’ve been thinking for a…
I’ve never been a big fan of the calm before the storm. In all honesty, I’m not that fond of the calm after the storm, either. I’m more of a storm chaser. I like to be busy. I like to be doing something. So, naturally, whenever things start to settle down or get a little…
