The Las Vegas Tragedy

2018-08-15T23:39:16-07:00

In light of the recent shootings in Las Vegas, I am struck by how people are capable of extreme evil and yet, at the same time others capable of extreme goodness. Currently, there are 59 people reported killed and over 500 reported as injured. I cannot begin to imagine the heartache of family members and [...]

Intention

2018-08-15T23:42:02-07:00

I recently attended a Jack Canfield event call "One Day to Greatness". Jack Canfield is the author of Chicken Soup for the Soul, along with several other books including, The Power of Focus. It was a great reminder of the power of intention. Setting our sites on what is within our hearts and finding that [...]

Out of Hiding

2018-08-16T00:17:18-07:00

It's hard to believe that it's been over two years since I've blogged. It isn't because I haven't been writing. I have been writing, a lot actually. Over the last two years, I have been writing a book. When I started I thought I could complete the book in a few months, six max. Over [...]

Is Procrastination Killing Your New Years Resolutions?

2018-08-15T22:45:56-07:00

It's interesting to be writing about the subject of procrastination when I haven't blogged in months. The truth is, I've been working on a book project and I have found that all my writing energies are going in to my book. However, even in writing the book I find that I want to put off [...]

The Danger of Positive Thinking that Does Not Equal Joy

2018-08-15T23:07:15-07:00

I am really excited about the series that our Church is doing. It is called 40 Days to a joy filled life. It is based on the Scripture in Philippians 4:8 that reads "...whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is [...]

Do you want to get well?

2018-08-15T23:13:02-07:00

 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed.  One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?” John 5:3-6 I have [...]

Inspiration

2018-08-07T17:26:29-07:00

I have started to write this blog numerous times and have erased everything that I have written until now. That's not usually the case with me. I usually write and it all just comes out and I really don't have to think about it much. Today has been different. Until it just hit me that [...]

A Beautiful Girl

2018-08-15T23:15:09-07:00

I met Rachel a little over 2 years ago in the park. Our Church was meeting at the park once a week to spend time and I happened to strike up a conversation with a woman who was there. After talking for awhile she shared with me that she had a 16 year old living [...]
