I have a nephew named Railey, and I will never forget something that happened before Melissa and I had children. I was eating Zaxby’s chicken and suddenly Railey, who was a little over a year old at the time, ran up to me all excited. He had never done this before so I remember thinking […]

Something God Hates

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 […]

God With Us

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. We have enjoyed these Christmas traditions for many years and […]

I love food! So obviously when it comes to being thankful, I can’t pass up an opportunity to thank the turkeys who gave their lives so we could eat some good food! Thanksgiving is also a time when we are reminded of all the things we are thankful for as well as the people we […]

The Privilege To Serve

serve others

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 […]

Move Forward

 “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, Depth, And Jesus

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 […]
