Once we are saved by Jesus Christ, we receive new life. A transformation of the heart, mind and soul begins to take place. The people, places, and pleasures that once entranced our attentions begin to fade, and new desires slowly arise, as if they are clearing from the fog that once clouded our heart. Yet, …

K.I.S.S.
It's seems so easy for me to over-complicate things. I have a tendency to take on way too many things to fill any spare time I may have. I look forward to spare time and yet, I feel as if I have spare time, I must have more time to take on more. Makes no …
Fleeting
My daughter's pet cat, Joey, recently passed away. We enjoyed his company for over 8 years, and he is missed. It has been a reminder to our family just how fleeting life is, and how much that remains are the memories. It is also a catalyst to consider the kind of memories I am creating. …
Pursuit of Happiness
Over the holidays, I was watching a documentary with some family members about a couple who travelled around the world in the pursuit for "happiness". However, they eventually discovered, as we all do, that happiness is fleeting. It's allusive and never permanent. Instead, life is full of ups and downs, and they flow together. When …
Time Well Spent

There are so many places I can't wait to see and experience. As my wife and I discussed our next family vacations, the places we hope to go got longer and longer - yet so does the wait. Now, God willing, we have some great and exciting things to look forward to and share as …
Life Rush
What lies ahead? No one really has any way of knowing. So, we do our best, and hope it all works out okay. We invest our days - sometimes going from sun up to sun down. Some never even experiencing the light outside their office walls. Instead, we scurry from one dwelling to the next, …
Spend Wisely
We only have a certain number of days. The trick is most of us will never know how many those are. One of the radical things my family did was too cancel cable TV. I know - extreme, and I didn't think it was possible at first, but it had to be done. We were …
Life Is Too Short To Play It Safe – Experience The Rewards Of Risk
Ecclesiastes 11:4 reminds us that if we wait on perfect conditions, we will never get anything done. It's scary to take risks - I recall a time during our family vacation to Hawaii, we had this travel app that was really a lot of fun. We were on the "road to Hana" and the guide …
