I remember as an elementary kid learning about the oath of a pinky promise. You would be talking with a friend about something in your lunch box that you would trade for an item in theirs. Once you agreed, you had to seal the deal so no other kid could sneak their way into the […]

Being Scared Straight
A fun hobby of mine used to be scaring my wife. I took great joy out of standing in the shadows and yelling “Boo!” when she rounded a corner. Her heart rate would go up, her voice would raise, her eyes would widen, and I would laugh. I considered it an all-around good time. Then […]
Lessons Learned from COVID
A few weeks ago I felt a rapid onset of discomfort, chills, and illness. Long story short, this began a 16 day battle with COVID-19. As it swept through my house, we navigated the uncertainty and fear that has been fed through this pandemic. I will confess, it was an experience I don’t ever want […]
Divine Appointments
I am a creature of habit. Most every morning is the same. Wake up. Work out. Bible study. Go to work. Drink coffee. In fact, if I showed you my daily calendar you would probably laugh at how routine it is every week. Trust me this is how I have to live in order to […]
The Destination is Worth the Effort

Viewpoints
Two people can look at the same item or issue and reach different conclusions based on preference or experience. For example, consider differing opinions on a football game when fans of both teams discuss the game from opposing points of view. Consider the election we are under as two people from the same city, or […]
Kids in the Word
As parents, my wife and I are committed to disciple our daughters with the prayerful expectation that they will become women who pursue the Lord, study the Word, advance the Kingdom, and live on mission with God. There will be a day when I’m not there, but God and His Word will always be present […]
Just Know I’m Following Jesus
I proudly display an autographed baseball in my office. While I am an avid Braves fan, this ball is not signed by any famous baseball player. In fact, it displays a shaky signature of my grandfather-in-law who passed away in 2013 at the age of 96. Having impacted my life tremendously I often glance at […]
