ADD Worship
This morning I read a devotional on the topic of worship. It got me thinking about how our modern society views worship versus what worship really is at its core. You see so many churches spend time, money, and energy creating the “perfect worship experience”.

A Life Lived
I just finished reading the book Fearless by Eric Blehm. This book is simply incredible! Adam Brown, the Navy Seal who the book is about, was simply incredible! I could hardly put the book down. Adam Brown is a man to be looked up to and admired in all areas of his life. I would encourage…

What’s Your Excuse?
I just finished reading Life Without Limits by Nick Vujicic. I was given this book to review courtesy of the Blogging for Books program of Waterhouse Multnomah Publishing Group. I was very excited to get this book for review. I have watched several of the YouTube videos of Nick, and I have checked out his…

On the Straight and Narrow
I’ve had a thought/blog brewing in my head for a long time. Sitting on the lawn mower during the spring and summer gives me an occasion to do a lot of thinking. An interesting comparison occurred to me one time while doing this.

The Trumpet of the Entrepreneur
Over the Christmas break, my wife Dyan read the classic The Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White to the kids. She was reading it as we drove to the Creation Museum on Saturday. I was suddenly struck by something as I was listening to the exploits of Louis the swan. It was really a…

To Thine Own Self Be True
How well do you know yourself? This is an honest question. I’m really not trying to be facetious. I’m coming to realize that this is a key component of success in life. Far too many people have not taken a serious look at who they are and what they believe. They just move with the…

What’s Your Calling
There is such a misunderstanding these days regarding a person’s ‘calling’. For some reason we have gotten the impression that ‘calling’ is a word that only applies to preachers and missionaries. This is such a tragedy. God did not call everyone to full time ministry or even service within the church. Does that mean that…
