I remember many years ago; 1982 to be exact, taking a class called, “Power For Abundant Living.” For me (and many others) it was just the greatest class in the whole world! In that class I learned the great simplicity of a life with God and how to believe to get the things I wanted…
If you are like me and I prefer to assume you are because then I will like you more :-), you have learned to focus on those few areas that you need to improve rather than all of the things that make you awesome! It’s sort of like a sickness isn’t it? You spend 16 of your…
Living in Utah, we are often subjected to inversions. The inversions occur because we live in a valley and all of the pollutants get trapped in the air making it difficult to breathe. There’s not enough air flow, absent a storm, to remove the gunk from the atmosphere resulting in a serious health risk! So…
I remember being an artillery officer assigned to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. During an operation one night, we were operating in almost zero light conditions. We had flashlights, but they had to have red or green lenses on them so that the imaginary enemy there would not be able to detect us. I decided to walk…
Having a son that played Division One football, I can tell you that football is a rough sport. Once you get to a certain level, everyone is fast; everyone is strong and everyone can hit you hard! And the closer you get to the action, the more brutal it becomes. You see, football, unlike many…

My grandsons were at the house this past weekend enjoying a good romp and mess making opportunity (goes with the territory!). Two year-old Tristan, formerly playing quietly with the iPad on the couch, suddenly launched it onto to the floor! So I said, “Hey Tristan, you can’t throw the iPad on the floor! You are…
If you live long enough you are going to, at one time or another, experience some negative event that has the capacity to shake your foundation and cause you to question your beliefs. You know what I’m talking about, right? There you were living your life, building your dreams, planning your future, then some…
In the spirit of true confessions, I’ve noticed in myself lately a propensity to engage in an endless stream of whining and complaining. I’m complaining about this coach and that player (I know…first world problems); what my boss thinks; what my company does; what my staff didn’t do; what people did or didn’t do…
I find it disturbing when I read comments from members of various religious groups advising people to allow the Holy Spirit to use them; or ask God to use them to fulfill His purposes in life. Call me crazy, but the prospect of someone or something using me is downright scary! Submitting to God, I…
