Men With Friends: Choosing Them Wisely

People influence who we are and who we become. If you want to become a better person, you need better friends. Why? Because you will begin to adapt the habits and practices of those guys you spend time with.

Stop Thinking About God…

My Jesus was an American Jesus. I loved Him, and was happy that others in the world got to know about Him, but the truth was, He belonged to America. In my mind’s eye, Jesus carried Old Glory and rode a screaming bald eagle across the sky.

Tracks And Trophies: Neither Brings Dad Back Home

I didn’t know any better. Maybe you’ve been there and know how crappy it is. Of course, when you’re just a little dude, you don’t know that it’s crappy. You think you’re being a lil man, all tough and everything.

Talking About: Christians to LGBTQ: “Our sins Are Better Than Yours”

I sorta figured my latest article was going to grab attention. It did. Lots of attention, but I’m so appreciative of people sharing their heart along with their opinion. 

Christians To LGBTQ, “Our Sins Are Better Than Yours.”

The idea isn’t to knock fellow Christians, but to nudge them to stop leering over the fence, and start looking into the mirror. Believe it or not, no one has or will ever earn their way into heaven by pointing out everyone else’s sin.

March Madness: Day 11 | Yep, It’s That Day…

I had this wonderfully introspective post ready for today. Leading up to my birthday, I like to use the time to reflect over the course of my life. But, as I began to write,

March Madness: Day 7 | Keep Looking Up…

March Madness: Day 6 | See what you married into…

I keep wondering if it’s a dream. I mean at almost 54 years old (March 11th,) it amazes me to be so blessed with family who love each other and loves me. 

March Madness: Day 5 | Hold That Line

I spent my youth doing one thing. Can you guess what it was? Well, besides sports of course. I spent it doing what most young boys do – trying to earn the approval of their dad. A few years ago I sat next to him in a hospital bed as he lingered in and out of conscientiousness.

March Madness: Day 4 | Some Days Are Diamonds

I was an empty vessel that was never going to be filled by Leah, no matter how much she poured into me. She knew that too, and this is where the beauty of a spouse comes to life.

March Madness: Day 3 | Better Late Than Never!

I still get uncomfortable when people do kind things for me just because. But I’m working to become a better receiver of blessings.
