Ouch! Eugene Peterson’s way of wording in The Message is great. The title “Knife-happy circumcisers” is from Philippians 3:2. It’s interesting to see in just about every field of work, play, and even the church people want to be seen. People want the recognition “due them”. It cracks me up when I hear someone jealously interject their own [...]

If you know my son, you know that on any given day he could be any Marvel, Warner Bros., or Disney character created. It’s so funny with each month that goes by his fascination with the various character’s change. Right now it is Spider-Man 3. He changes clothes and costumes throughout the movie. I remember taking him [...]
I have been thinking about this lately. It could be the series at church that is sparking the interest… could be that Chili burger from Ross’. No. It’s got to be the series…. I mentioned in my Men’s Journey Group the other day about spiritually leading our children and being the dad’s God intends for [...]
Humility. Standing up for myself. Staying focused. Keeping anger in check. Keeping quiet. Being patient. Confident. Filled with love. Living. Being a person of mercy and compassion. Always hoping.

I have moved onto the Bishop Compound where everyday is a new adventure. Lori and I live on the acres of land her father owns. It’s a great place to live. There is a pasture behind us with cows that bless us with the natural smells they leave behind from time to time. Everywhere else around us we are [...]
In the words of Bono, “Ain’t love the sweetest thing”. Well, it is sweet. The Bible tells us love is the greatest thing. If love is so sweet and so great why is it so hard? Yesterday I referred to my sons favorite movie and the battle Peter Parker had with his dark-side. His love for his Uncle [...]
Yesterday I was faced with some sort of crisis. Nothing major. I could allow it to fester into something major. But I have to make a decision… to allow this thing to bother me (or) to look at this thing through eyes not my own. Truth be known - I would love for this situation in life to get better. [...]
I once lived in Kansas for about a year and a half. Before moving to Kansas I had found the beauty of cycling in the mountains of Colorado and the high desert of New Mexico to be awesome. I was surprised that I would find beauty riding on the flat plains of Kansas. My favorite [...]
Below is a song entitled “To Rescue Me” by The Choir. If you would like to hear the song press play on the Sonific Player on the right side of this page. (Hindalong, Daugherty) When I can’t hold on much longer To a rope weathered and frayed When I can’t find hope and I’m losing [...]
