A lot of years were spent yearning for "full-time" ministry opportunities outside of where I worked, not seeing clearly that it was staring me in the face all the time

When did good storytelling become the deciding criteria for discerning questionable material/media/publications? When did we lose sight of this of this truth in Philippians 4:8?

It seems to me that Jesus wasn’t much of a “hang around” type of guy. His call to “follow me” is not meant for hesitate individuals or the “let me sleep on it” crowd. Jesus is going somewhere and He calls us to go with Him…now.

I believe with all my heart that we need passion on this journey with Christ but it must be channeled through the character He imparts into us.

We're all going through stuff, some more difficult than others, and there are days when our stuff seems to be winning over us. Can I encourage you (us) that the Father knows, the Father cares and the Father loves us through all this stuff. His son Jesus has overcome the world...can He not help us overcome the world of stuff that we face?

Good Dads provide so much more than food, shelter, etc (all important) Look at the word closely...PRO-VISION...we show our kids a vision that is pro-them...for them! This is what God imparts through us and I'm so glad He does!

Recently my daughter Becky and I went to fetch the health food known as Dunkin Donuts. Becky is my youngest (11) and although we share many wonderful qualities, acting crazy in public places is not one of them.

I know the battle is hard and many are trying to hold it all together, do the right thing and be obedient to our Lord. Please remember who you are today…you are His son! And you have been redeemed by the greatest heart the universe has ever known.

A man’s voice is so much more than the words that come from his mouth. What we speak about… who we speak about and how we speak, create ripples in life around us. We impart with our voice, we invest with our voice, we define with our voice, and we construct…or destruct….all with the power of our voice.

My eyes are weird, one eye is near-sighted and the other is far-sighted which does create some focus problems for me… but with the right prescription… things become clearer.

It’s the same when it comes to being a man after God’s heart… we need focus
