The Christmas Story’s Villain

[This is the first article in a repeat of my Christmas series, which are some of my most read and shared articles all year.] I want to begin this Christmas series by focusing on a character that we read about in the Christmas story, yet, oddly, is never found in the little ceramic manger scenes. […]

Can’t You Read the Sign?

Recently, I was visiting a city and drove through a neighborhood street lined with duplexes. One particular unit got my attention. There sat the typical mirror image structure with matching doors, windows, and driveways, but right in the middle of the yard, lined up perfectly with the dividing wall that separates the two homes, built […]

1 + 1 = 1

This past September, my wife and I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary. This spiritual and mystical mystery of “the two becoming one” cannot be better explained than by something that happened at the church we planted and pastored for 9 years. As my wife and I ministered to people there, to families, and specifically to […]

A Thought for Your Thanksgiving

Holidays like Thanksgiving are great opportunities for a man to lead his family spiritually. It is tempting to just sit and watch the game, go to the table, say a quick prayer for the gluttony about to take place, go back to the couch to watch more sports, then fall asleep in a Tryptophan coma.

Vanishing Vapor

In the early morning hours or around dusk, in the skies above Nashville, it is a normal site to see multiple crisscrossed vapor trails in every direction. They’re created by jets from Fort Campbell, the home of the 101st Air Assault Division. (Rumor is it might be Taylor Swift’s security team.) This morning, I counted […]

Life in the Left Lane

On a typical two-lane interstate road with two lanes heading the same direction, the rule is the faster vehicle gets the left lane. So, to be a courteous and safe driver, we stay in the right lane, but when we come up on a car going slower than us, we move to the left lane, […]

What’s Your Weapon?

Warriors had spears. Knights had swords. Cowboys had pistols. Soldiers have rifles. Police have handguns. As guys, we get weapons and their use. For hunting or protection. For sport or war. As a Christian man, what weapon has God placed in your hands? I’m not talking about the Glock in your closet. As Christians, we […]

Push the Reset Button

I have Dish Network and occasionally my system will glitch and hang up, freezing or going black. When this happens, I go to the main unit, open the little door to the few controls on the panel, and I push the reset button. I hold it in for about 5 seconds and the entire system […]
