I’m so very tired tonight. I’m literally worn out. I got up this morning not feeling good and as the day has continued… my emotions are now running a bit thin. Too many details as to why. I was driving to a friends house to pick up something and just drove about 4-5 miles past my [...]

On March the 20th, I wrote “Walking by Faith“: At this time in my life, I’m not sure where I am heading… but I do know I am heading in the right direction. God has restored a lot in my life. The stirring in my soul is difficult… yet I know it isn’t being stirred [...]
Is there a difference between ”American” faith and “Biblical” faith? Our society tends to Americanize everything – to the point that what we preach is only relevant to Americans. “What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen.” Hebrews 11:1, NLT. “The fundamental fact of existence is that this [...]
I’ve debated whether I should write about this or not. The debate is over and I have chosen to write about it. It’s going to be difficult to keep it short. I’ve been thinking a lot about Peter today. He did so much as a disciple and follower of Christ. So much is written about [...]
I took a long nap today… sleep won’t visit me tonight. My wife… “The Warrior.” I don’t know if I know a more tender-hearted warrior than her. Tender-hearted warrior? Yep. That’s what I said.

Much of what I was taught as a young believer came from several bands and friends. What I was taught was radical… deeply life changing… and scary to [...]
…Unleash the Untamed Faith Within Choose a Dangerous Road This is a new book I bought today at church. It is written by Erwin McManus one of my favorite thinkers and writers. I was reading on the back cover and discovered it goes with the ideas and thoughts I have been having… and conversations [...]
A few years ago I had a dream to take a group of teenagers down to Central and South America. I even met with a missionary from the country I was looking at taking this group to. I had begun gathering information and resources to learn enough of the language for the youth to be [...]
I have been listening to some vintage Christian music the past few days. It’s been a very encouraging experience to listen to some tunes that are over 20 years old. So much of the music I listened to then really shaped my young Christian life. Petra, Whiteheart, Russ Taff, Stryper, Jerusalem, and U2… they each have had their [...]
I Cry When peace cannot be found And sleep won’t visit me tonight A restless mind that I can’t tame I walk the floor, I call your name Finally silence, and the tears begin to fall I cry and you’re the one who hears me calling I fall so easily, but you’re there to catch [...]
