January 1st is not a Magical Day
Pretty much everyone I know is excited for the New Year. And they get excited every year, just like I do. It is “new.” A new year of hope and dreams realized. A year of, “This will be the year….” However, as we roll into January 2nd or 3rd we soon realize it is just […]
Transitions
Just like the snap of the fingers, 16 years on the job came to an end. It was a Monday morning, a start to a brand new week. Shockingly I found I was selected for a “reduction in force.” No I am not here to bash the company I worked for. Am I upset? Yes. […]

Journaling For Lent
Journaling has been a great tool in my own spiritual growth. Lent as a preparation for Easter is a great time to make use of a journal to record our reflections as we focus on the problem of our sin and the depth of Jesus work on the cross. In this post, we will take […]
The Way of The Cross
Hanging on the wall in my home office is a crucifix. No, there is nothing magical or miraculous about it. It is just a bit of formed metal and plastic; however, it does play an important reminder in my life. It is a reminder that my life has been bought with an incredible great price; […]
Present: My One Word for 2021
Several years ago I started the practice of having a single word that would help bring focus for the year. My one word for 2021 is, “Present.” I hope sharing my one word will help encourage you to live out a great 2021 Some of my past words have been Expansion (for 2020), others were […]
Pastor, Leadership Coach, Speaker: I am enthusiastic about helping others discover their purpose and grow into a deeper relationship with Jesus. It is great to see their eyes light up at their “Ah Ha!” moment when they discover they were created for something more.
