Recently, I attended a weekend seminar focused on living our identity in Christ. There’s more to that, of course, but for now this is how the weekend started. We took a dreaded redeye flight from Salt Lake City to Tampa. It was scheduled to leave at 11:30 pm. but ended up one hour late. Now…
Imagine, if you will, that 90% of life is not what you think it is. If perchance you have lived a few years, then you have drawn some pretty solid conclusions about how this whole living life thing really works. You have caused and effected to the best of your ability and some things you…
There is nothing like a birthday to give you some pause in order to consider what happened over the course of the past year. Personally, this past year was a period of almost unequalled and unparalleled growth. God taught me so many important lessons, some very personal, others just to bless me. My Morning Pages…
I’m not sure if it has dawned on you at this juncture in your life, but this whole living thing is pretty complex. I mean it has lots of parts and pieces. It’s harder than golf. There’s about a million things you don’t know anything about. And finally, there’s this entire spiritual realm with a…

It’s an odd time to be an American. It’s like you can see things going dreadfully south but there is nothing you…
What is reality? What is your reality? Is there a difference? It seems like the answer should be simple, right? Reality is often defined as, “the world or the state of things as they actually exist…” When we define our reality, it would seem plausible that my reality would be the same as your reality…
I think it is important to understand that life is a journey. Each one of us is on a grand journey of discovery. We have been given one short life to enjoy now and part of that joy comes from the experience of living. None of us have perfected it or maybe not even come…
It may not have occurred to you before, but life is a learning adventure. We have this life that we may experience and grow and learn and more often than we may think, unlearn.
