I can remember back in the mid 80s (when personal computers were just hitting the market), my Mom would take us to the library, where we would actually get to USE a computer. Back then, you could register for a time slot, and then go and check out a game on a floppy disk (google […]
[sgmb id=”1″] I’ve recently discovered that when dealing my children, and their sometimes overly dramatic encounters in life, this 3-word phrase has become my go-to response. No big deal. “But Dad!” They say… “You don’t understand (fill in the blank crisis)”… And I say… “It’s no big deal!” Basically, my point is, unless you’re dying, […]
How Wolves Change Rivers is one of the most interesting scientific finds and discoveries of all time. I first came across this interesting phenomenon by watching a YouTube video, that, not surprisingly, has nearly 40 million views. Take 4:33 and prepare to be amazed. My key takeaway from this is: never underestimate the power of […]
[sgmb id=”1″] There’s a little book that I would highly recommend you reading titled Make Your Bed. It was written based on a graduation commencement speech that Admiral William H. McRaven (←click the previous link to see the YouTube video) gave at the University of Texas back in 2014. Admiral McRaven basically lists 10 principles […]
[sgmb id=”1″] It is common knowledge that we have 5 primary senses. You probably feel like you’re back in the 3rd grade…now what are they class? Say them with me…taste, touch, hearing, smell and sight. Clearly, these 5 senses come in quite handy in our day to day lives. When these senses are operating properly, […]
[sgmb id=”1″] Word Accountability Much of what I write about is usually inspired by my life, my current experiences, the interaction I have with other people, things I observe, and, oh by the way, what life, as a parent is teaching me! Currently, one of the valuable lessons my wife and I are attempting to […]
[sgmb id=1] I recently came across this graphic, 10 Things That Require Zero Talent, and, well…let’s just say, it ministered to me! I guess because at this particular time in my life, I have 13-year old twins…teenagers…wow! I thought I would be prepared for this, I mean, after all, I was a student pastor for about 15 […]
[sgmb id=1] I know, I know…here we go with another acronym! This thought came to me about 6:15 Friday morning, as I was playing some basketball at the local YMCA. I always say, my best ideas come when I’m either sound asleep, or not focused on thinking at all! So (and this is a valuable […]
What is it? While this appears to be an unprovoked question, I actually want to focus on this phrase as more of a definition to something. Any guesses thus far? If you were on the show Jeopardy, you would ask Alex Trebek to give you “Israelite Cuisine for $100 please”. To which you would (hopefully) […]
Fellowship is great! In fact, it’s Biblical! And I love hanging out with other believers. It’s therapeutic, it’s healthy, and it’s fun! Spending time with other sheep is great, but spending time with The Shepherd is best! It is all of those things I just mentioned, and even more. Psalm 100:3 (NKJV) sums […]
