What a Wonderful Name It Is! Sunday morning was just beautiful. Hardly a cloud in the sky with temperature somewhere around 65 degrees with little humidity. Just a picture perfect kind of day. If all days were like this one, I may never return home. I was looking forward to attending Hillsong Lisboa. I always … Continue reading What a Wonderful Name

Here’s to New Chapters
The hope is that my visit last week to Lisbon, Portugal will become a marker in my life that I am able to reflect back on as a changing point in my life. We all have those moments in life that take place and at the time, seem life changing and we intend to change … Continue reading Here’s to New Chapters
Paul – a speech
As I begin to look into the life of Paul, I'm struck by how much suffering Paul had to endure in proclaiming the gospel of Christ. I'll cover more of that as we go but for today I want to cover the speech that many consider his most important or famous, which is found in … Continue reading Paul – a speech
The Gospel, Paul and Me – prequel
In 2018, beginning in April, I begin documenting my physical transformation through blog posts and then mostly just to Instagram. I called the journey - #chasing25. I will continue capturing the journey via IG but want to focus my writing in 2019 on a spiritual journey I'm calling The Gospel, Paul and Me.

#Chasing25 – the physical side
Since I was 5 years old I have been involved in sports of some kind. Over the years I have played baseball, basketball, football, golf, tennis, swimming, bowling, and the last five years, cycling. I've never been great in any particular sport but I can hold my own in any of them. Obviously, as the … Continue reading #Chasing25 – the physical side
40 Day Journey – with Dietrich Bonhoeffer – Day 1 finished

40 Day Journey – with Dietrich Bonhoeffer – Day 1
I am doing a 40 day devotional series with Dietrich Bonhoeffer. I thought as I do so, I would take the opportunity to journal as I travel through this 40 day journey.

A Story to Share
It's been six months since I have written anything. Some of that's due to writer's block which I get on occasion and some of it's because life simply happens to steal all of your time. Honestly though, the greater hindrance for me has been related to two themes. The first being that I have some … Continue reading A Story to Share
A Story
I think I've reached that time in life that seems to happen to individuals who are usually in their 60's, 70's or later. You know, when they reach that age where they don't care what they say or how they say it. In some cases, they really don't care if it hurts your feelings or not, they … Continue reading A Story
Life Lesson Series – Choose to Love
I wonder how many people woke up this morning and decided that today would be a day to hate other people. To purposefully seek out opportunities where they might have the opportunity to hurt others; either by word or action. My hope would be that no one would intentionally start their day in this manner … Continue reading Life Lesson Series – Choose to Love
