I had the unique experience of participating for the last two and a half days with a great group of people in a leadership retreat. Leadership Levelland began this past weekend. We were bused to a Christian camp a couple of hours north of here where we had sessions on leadership, personality studies and various [...]

A Passionate Glow
Posted in Formation, Grace, Motivational on September 15, 2009 | 1 Comment »
The other night I was sitting in front of the fire in the chimnea on the back deck. The fire was dancing around inside the little fire box, casting interesting shadows on the wall and trees around me. It was late and there was nothing going on so it was quiet and peaceful. I had [...]
Rest in the Presence

Saturday night I could not sleep but I had an overwhelming sense of being drawn to a time with God. Now before you put me in the “mystic” column (which wouldn’t be a bad thing), I didn’t hear an audible voice or anything, but there was a distinct burning desire in my heart to be [...]
5 Things I’ve Learned in My 44 Years
Posted in Formation, Motivational on September 11, 2009 | 4 Comments »
As I was reflecting this morning on my last 44 years, I began to think about things I have learned through those years. This list is not all-inclusive and as I continue to think about it, it may not even include the most important lessons I have learned. But here is what is on my [...]
Out of Context

A couple of years ago I was at a conference for church leaders. I was walking toward one of my sessions when I met up with a familiar face. Have you ever seen someone and thought, “I know I should know this person” but you could not remember their name nor how you know them? This happens to me [...]
Who Has Impacted You The Most

As I was doing my daily parent taxi service duties this morning, we were listening to the radio when a song came on from Disciple. The song is called “Things Left Unsaid,” and it tells a story of a person sitting in the hospital room of someone with a short time to live. The significance [...]

Do you ever get bogged down in your daily life? Do you ever get so overwhelmed with the crisis of the moment that you forget the blessings you have been given? Sometimes we allow ourselves to be so caught up in the needs of the moment that we forget the joy that we have in [...]
Do Impossible Things

This past summer, our family was blessed to spend a day or two at Huntington Beach, CA. It just so happened that the US Open of Surfing was going on at the time. In addition to the fantastic surfing, there were “side-shows” set up on the beach. We got to sit and watch some of [...]
Leave It All on the Court

If you read these ramblings long enough, you find out a lot of facts about me you may not have otherwise known. One of the things you may have figured out by now is that I love music. All kinds of music (must admit – not a big country fan – but even that has [...]
Email-a-Prayer
Posted in Uncategorized on September 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Today I woke up with a conviction. No, I am not headed to jail – a different kind of conviction. As Christians we are always quick to say, “I’ll be praying for you” when we listen to the needs of others. But how often do we follow through? Prayer is such an important part of [...]
