Passion vs. Prostitution

I had two scenarios occur recently within a few days of each other where the Lord taught me a powerful life principle about expectations, direction, and decisions. The first occurred when I had a representative from an organization contact me about needing a writer for their next book. We had a good talk and I […]

A Noteworthy Life

Inside this decade, a new definition and connotation for the word “notes” has been introduced into mainstream culture. It is no longer just about music or writing short messages. Notes are now also the description of the taste and smell of an organic substance. The idea behind this new term does call back to music […]

Mistaken Identity

Imagine for a moment you are driving down the road and suddenly you hear the sound of a siren, look in your rearview mirror, and see a policeman behind you. You pull over and knowing the drill, you reach into your glovebox for your car info and into your wallet for your personal info. As […]

That’s Gonna Leave a Mark

When we moved into our house 6 years ago, the builder left various cans of paint out in the garage for the purpose of us being able to touch up our walls, doors, etc. No matter where we’ve lived, we’ve always been sticklers for every several months walking through the house and touching up scuffmarks […]

The Pooch in Coach

The second that my wife and I stepped off the jetway into the plane door, we heard the distinct sound of a dog barking. Actually a better description is yapping … constant, non-stop, ear-piercing yapping. Everyone on the maxed-out aircraft could hear it. All through boarding, backing out, taxiing, taking off, and leveling out at […]

Signing Out & Shutting Off

About a month ago, I realized my back-up hard drive (which you don’t realize you need until you have a total-loss hard-drive crash) was completely full so I knew I had to up my terabyte game and get a new larger one. I went to the web site of a popular electronics store, signed into […]

Problems vs. Patterns

The old adage that says, “We are creatures of habit,” is so obviously true. But I am constantly reminded that we are also people of patterns—both good and bad. And so many of us do not, maybe never, realize our own patterns that we live by. Identifying those and becoming aware of them, though, can […]

The Evidence of Faith

There is no doubt that I am blessed and privileged to be a part of some amazing projects. Today, I want to share about a new book that has recently been released called The Evidence of Faith. And no, I don’t receive royalties so this really isn’t a shameless plug. Rather, it’s offering some great […]

The State of Men’s Ministry

This past Saturday in Columbia, I presented my last men’s conference for 2017 in my partnership with the South Carolina United Methodist Men’s Ministry. Why South Carolina, you ask? Easy, that’s who invited me. Why the Methodists, you ask? Easy, that’s who invited me. Because of the response, we’re now planning to continue this ministry […]

My Glen Campbell Connection

Today is a bit longer than usual, but I’m writing to share a couple of personal stories to honor Glen Campbell’s life and faith through the two times our lives intersected. Back in 1983, I was traveling full-time with a Christian band—3 guys and 2 girls. I played drums, of course, and one of the […]
