What a wonderful weekend as You, Lord, allowed me to compete in IronMan 70.3 Atlantic City. I don’t know that I have felt the need for God’s strength in a race as much as this, as I have been dealing with an injury and I found out that I was unable to defer to next... Continue Reading →
It may not say in the Bible that God won’t give you more than you can handle, but it does say that He won’t allow you to be tempted beyond what you can take. “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be... Continue Reading →
In 2012, my health was in decline, and as God was shaking my world and getting me to adjust my priorities, one of the things I felt He made clear to me was the need to take care of my health so that I could continue to serve Him in my role as husband, father,... Continue Reading →
When I was growing up in church, I learned this simple song that I have never forgotten. The chorus went like this... “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine. This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.” If you have a... Continue Reading →

As I sit here overlooking the truly amazing sunrise once again, I feel like I am finally able to stop and take a breath, and just take in the beauty of God’s creation. It... Continue Reading →
Weekends can be such a challenge. We try to cram so much into such a little time. Morning to night. And if we go to church, we might get there a little late as we were up late the night before, and then we are watching the clock so that we can get to lunch... Continue Reading →
As we go through the spiritual disciplines, this week we focused on one that is difficult for most, if not all. This is especially true today. In a society that tells you to make up your own truth to be accepted just the way you are, and that truth is relative, confession leads us in... Continue Reading →
I remember working in management before I entered ministry. Things were falling through the cracks and everyone was focused on what “was” and what “wasn’t” their job. Debbie was out, and we had another nurse step in and cover for her. At one point on this particular night, a person had an “accident” in the... Continue Reading →
