Early in the movie I sent her a txt, “So, you think I’m a loser.” (I was just kidding). This was an extremely inspiring movie. Scene after scene I just laughed because I could see so much of my life [...]

The Far-Reaching Rivers of Life (Part 2)
Posted: September 9, 2008 in Focus, Future, Oswald Chambers, Spiritual Growth, SurrenderThe fear of getting back in the water is stronger than I want to admit. (I guess I just admitted it). I’m not even sure anymore what “getting back in the water” really means. This is only compounded by my fear. I look around and see dear friends (coast to coast) give their lives to [...]
Walk On
Posted: September 7, 2008 in Forgiveness, Friends, Future, Inspiration, Love, Missions, Pray for the troops, Serving, U2I just watched Saving Pvt. Ryan – again! I cried – again!

I orginally wrote this on February 17, 2008. I thought it goes well with many of my thoughts lately. I’m sure my wife will be excited to see this. And no she is not making me coffee tonight. ******************************** It’s amazing how a cup of coffee can change everything. I’m sitting here running through my [...]

According to Dictionary.com, abandon means: to leave completely and finally; forsake utterly; desert to give up the control of Can one forsake utterly themselves… give up the total control? It’s hard to live this way. This totally goes against the grain of human nature! Tonight I’m thinking of [...]
I have always valued the opinion of others tremendously. I understand there is a lot of value in the counsel of others when it comes to making decisions. Over the years, I have probably put too much stock in what others have had to say. To the point of not doing anything – out of [...]
I attended a high school graduation last night. It was at Woodland High School. Congratulations Jake! Jake is at a great place in his life where the horizon before him is without limits. He can do and accomplish anything his mind and heart desires. I am praying he makes great decisions and choices because he [...]
Animals all have something that they do. That’s how they are made. Horses, pigs, cows, elephants, lions, tigers, and bears – oh my! Look at each of these and you can easily see what their “niche” in life is. You never see a pig trying to do the work of an elephant. But as humans [...]
