The concept of faith or belief has been wrestled with for centuries. It’s almost universally known that faith gets the job done. The Olympics would testify to that with some kid winning gold because they actually thought they could. Yet for most people, faith is a real head scratcher. I will sheepishly admit to spending…
As I languish on the back patio soaking in the warmth of the sun, I can’t help but think about how good light is. It is the light that sustains us. It gives us life. Best of all, light helps us see where we are going. Walking on the cliff isn’t scary unless it’s nighttime.…
There is a voice inside of you, which is you, carrying out a conversation with you. Sometimes there is also a voice that sounds like you, but it is actually God communicating with you. (How thoughtful for it to sound like our voice. Imagine your response if it was a totally strange voice! – (I…
Did you know that most of which we lose as life progresses, we lose not to an aggressive theft, but rather to a deception. A deception is most effective when it is talking you out of something you already had. It’s never sudden or bold as it would likely cause us to wake up. Instead…

The above title may appear intuitive and certainly not worthy of a blog. However, I would have to disagree in that there appears to be a dearth of people actually making the connection. People spend the day engaged in dark, negative thoughts and then report feeling depressed. Folks run all manner of fearful considerations through…
Is truth relative? Many people, in an attempt to be inclusive perhaps, conclude that what is true for you might not be true for me and the reverse. But, can something that is true actually be not true? Does truth depend upon the circumstances or conditions? Would something that is inherently true possibly be not…
There’s a saying amongst religious folk that decries, “Take it by faith brother.” What it implies is that the things of God don’t really make any sense or follow any specific pattern of logic. Now, just consider that for a moment. Is it logical to you that God is perfect; His originally given Word was…
I know you have seen the memes. I know you have read the stories. Life is short, eat the cookies. It seems so trite. It’s something everyone seems to say. Usually used to make some allowance for this or for that. But, at the end of the day, life is short, very short. Before you…
