Run Forrest Run!
I met an older sailor during my time completing my own USCG Captains license, that said something I hope will be helpful in sharing. He was as salty as they came, with weather beaten skin, scraggly beard, and pony tail. A quiet sort, he shared openly when asked, how he had traveled and lived in …
Inner Circles
Ever notice how there always seems to be inner circles within inner circles? For example, there are coastal areas you can go to vacation that are really nice, and on that same island, there is a gated area that is even nicer and then within those gates is another gate that hides the most pristine …
Relax and Work?
Relaxing and working don’t usually go together. We tend to think of them as opposites. In other words, I’m able to relax when I’m away from work. Yet, I love the insights gleaned from Psalm 127. It actually describes an anxious work, and then goes on to explain how God enjoys giving His beloved relaxation. …
Leading – From A Child’s Heart To Ours
A friend recently shared she saw written in chalk while at a playground with her son, the following words, “be the kind of leader you would follow”. This was scribbled by a little girl at that elementary school. Got us thinking, how most aspire for such leadership in life, but over time, we can get …
Adventurously Expectant
The new life we received from God isn’t timid, but is adventurously expectant with things to do and places to go! Romans 8:15 God confirms who we are - His children, and as such, we are heirs to His unfathomable blessings that span on for eternity. We have troubles in this world, but we are …
Not Dead Yet
Buzz Aldrin professed that “Exploration is wired into our brains. If we can see the horizon we want to know what’s beyond”. This is definitely true for me - I have to explore, can’t help it. Anyplace I go, I can’t settle in until I first get out to explore my surroundings. Same for that …
Slow Lane
I do things fast - I eat fast, complete checklists fast, pursue goals fast, and tend to even have my interactions with others fast. Clearly, when it comes to getting things accomplished promptly, without delay, and multitasking various things to expand workloads, efficiency, and capacity, I’m the guy. But this comes also at a high …
Just In Time
The adventure I have taken has been filled with beauty, hard work, and uncertainty - and God’s goodness has been all over it. I have a mountain of material to learn within a short amount of time and yet my days have been filled with much activity that the time to learn has been tight. …
Kinder To Self
“Be kind to yourself,” I felt God’s loving voice say to my heart. I had been studying material completely new to me, and wasn’t doing too well on the practice tests. Yet, I unrealistically expected myself to know the answer to most every question, and each one I missed fired a missile to my heart. …
Fun with God
Do we think of God as being fun, or more as a kill joy, and always deadly serous, stern, and somber? Our image of God, or as AW Tozer said, What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. If this is true, I wonder how many …
