The enemy always knows how to attack us! He knows our weaknesses and will come after us without hesitation. He often uses our past to try and distract us. It’s amazing to me how I will randomly have memories of past mistakes come out of nowhere and some of these will be as far back […]
How often does Scripture need to reference something for it to be deemed important? If we truly believe that the Bible is God’s inspired word then the answer would be just once right? That means that even if the Bible just mentioned an issue one time, we should still take notice. Now consider how many […]
Christmas is hands down my favorite time of the year! I love everything about it including the family time, lights, apple cider, movie specials, seeing my kids smile, unhealthy food, and of course that Hershey’s Kisses commercial they have been airing for over twenty years.

When I was a kid, a big tradition for me and my grandfather was attending the Rodeo. It was special because it was something that just he and I did together and I have enjoyed continuing that tradition with my children. As soon as we got there you could smell the funnel cakes and I […]

I heard a story years ago that changed the way I looked at everyday life. While I was in college I served on ministry impact teams that traveled to different churches and camps. During the Summer of 2004 I traveled with a team of six students. We spent a month or so in West Virginia […]
“Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies […]
Football is easily my favorite sport. Don’t get me wrong I do enjoy baseball and basketball, but football is definitely my preference. I can even enjoy a game that doesn’t particularly involve a team that I pull for. I especially loved this past weekend with the many rivalry games and upsets. I certainly don’t consider […]
