Ancient Corinth…Yeah, From the Bible
Bema of Ancient Corinth
I mentioned that I wasn’t too fond of Athens. So, I was looking forward to renting my car and heading west to the Peloponnese peninsula.
One of the firsts stops I was planning was Corinth. Paul visited Corinth and later wrote two letters to the church of this city. 1st and 2nd Corinthians.
As I have been in Greece, I’ve been reading through Corinthians. And many things…

Athens - I Don’t Know What I Was Expecting
When you think of Greece, what comes to mind?
Ancient civilizations? Mythology? Philosophy? Socrates and the Stoics? Wars and the Trojan Horse?
I always love traveling to places with history. I longed to travel to Italy for years before I bit the bullet and plunged into a lifelong passion of seeing places I once thought was impossible except from the pages of a book.
When I decided to head to…

Oh, Hear the Angels Sing
Last month I became addicted to a Christmas album, Tommee Profitt The Birth of a King: Live. I kept playing the album over and over and no matter where I was at (work, car or the gym) I was drawn to the Christmas hymns and the worship behind them.
This week at work, I needed a pick me up. So I pulled out my Christmas album and played it. And then played it again. And again.
It may be the end of…

What is Your Plan for Life?
I’ve had multiple conversations in the last month about plans and goals in life.
A couple were strictly a business plan. If our company is at Point A right now where do we want to be in two years?
Sometimes people do not like to set lofty goals for fear of not reaching them. The failure complex. Hearing that not being good enough inner voice. Wave the white flag syndrome and admit defeat.
But…

Almost Nothing is Guaranteed
It’s hard to believe it is already middle of January 2024. Time seems to go faster as the years add on.
I was talking to some friends the other day and they were talking about a family tragedy and the sentiment of we are not guaranteed another day hung in the air.
Most times we speak these words during a trial or death with the outlook that tomorrow we will seize the day.
But when tomorrow…

The Movement
Can you think of any important movements that have occurred in your lifetime?
When I look back in my life at the various movements I can recall, they usually have a common thread.
They were spurred on by the younger generation.
In 1992 the election between Bush and Clinton had a movement. MTV highlighted the Rock the Vote campaign urging their listeners (20 year olds) to vote. Some say this…

Even If…Can I Really Say That?
There is a song that has been playing on the radio lately. It’s upbeat and positive, which would make anyone want to smile. And even though I want to agree with the chorus, if I’m truly honest, I’m not sure I can.
Even if my daylight never dawnsEven if my breakthrough never comesEven if I’ll fight to bring You praiseEven if my dreams fall to the groundEven if I’m lost, I know I’m foundEven if my…

Bumping Into God
There are certain things I hear that sticks with me through the years. This is one I heard over a decade ago and it still resonates.
How many times have you confused bumping into God with a touch from God?
There are moments when God bumps into us when we aren’t reaching for Him. A loved one may say something that hits us in a good way and we change our outlook, perspective, or attitude. That…

Always Hears…Always Stops
Do you ever feel like your prayers are hitting the ceiling? Like you’re dialing to talk to God, but it goes straight to voicemail? That your texts show they’ve been delivered, but they remain unread?
I think we all have been there, or are there, or will be there soon. Or you’re all three and have hit the trifecta.
I wish I understood. I wish I could see beyond what my eyes can see, and see what…

Slippery Slopes
and do not give the devil a foothold.
Paul – Ephesians 4:27
Is there anything wrong in saying parts of the Bible are nothing more than folklore passed down through the centuries like Gilgamesh, Pandora’s Box, or Osiris? Each of these stories taught a lesson, but is parts of the Bible the same way?
I’ve heard various people say that belief in the story of God creating the world in six days does…

I Don’t Like You, But I Love You…Really?
I’ve heard this phrase my entire life. I’ve even said it a time or two. But recently I have really been thinking is this really possible?
Can you not like someone, but truly love them?
My mind cannot grasp this concept. My brain can’t understand many concepts, but this one really befuddles my mind.
The main thing that confuses me is it really Biblical? I hear Christians say this all the time,…

A New Chapter…in the Book of Life
So, I’ve been reviewing my editors notes on my latest book. I’m horrible at grammar, which some of you can probably tell through my blogposts. So, I welcome that keen eye to point out my weaknesses to make my story better.
Last night as I was editing, I came to a chapter that resolved itself too neatly.
When I was originally writing the story I thought about a twist at that moment, but none…

Flip the Switch and You’re Perspective
It’s been a challenging few months…well, maybe years. It seems like there is always a deadline in the near future and not enough hands on deck to meet it.
But we always meet it. We always make the deadline. We always leave looking ahead at the next looming deadline heading our way.
There are moments when I wish I had a month or two to breathe. Recoup. Regroup. Refocus.
But would I really?
Or…

The Stagnant Land of Curdled Milk and Wax
Do you ever feel like you are walking in your own wilderness? It may not have been 40 years, but you feel like it has been?
Years of waiting for that miracle.
Years of hoping for the tides to turn.
Years of yearning for a sign of deliverance.
Years of dreaming of that land flowing with milk and honey. Dreaming of tasting the sweetness when you have tasted bitterness for so long. Dreaming of…

It’s Time to Build…an Alter?
Are you feeling broken down with life?
Do you feel like you are living in the ruins of what used to be? Living among the rubble of your once sturdy life?
What are you going to do with those stones?
What if you build an alter with your broken pieces?
“Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen and called its name Ebenezer; for he said, “Till now the Lord has helped us.””1…

It Can Get Messy
Life can get messy.
Relationships can get messy.
Work can get messy.
Serving can get messy.
But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it.
A few years ago I had the opportunity to take a group of high school guys to a YoungLife camp (Timberwolf). After one of the heavy nighttime messages about sin and death, they have a carnival.
It may sound strange to have a fun carnival after such a heavy…
