Don’t overlook the little things…

I’m reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan right now.  The book is incredible so far, and I’m just starting the fifth chapter.  Trust me, it’s good…pick it up.
One of the main points Chan makes in the first two chapters is that we have somehow gotten to the point in our lives where we have spiritual [...]

The amount of influence…

It’s been a good few days.  God’s been moving like crazy.  Clayton laid it down thick tonight, my favorite part of the message was when he got in the kids faces about honoring their mother and father.  He preached unapologetically about the honor and respect that is deserved by parents.  It was great.  I think [...]

Leadership Lesson: What I’m learning.

I’m on a constant mission to learn as much as possible about leadership.  When I think about leadership, my heart rate goes through the roof because it has become a passion of mine (maybe its just the coffee I constantly consume, but we’ll pretend its the idea of leadership).
Moving on, God is constantly teaching me [...]

There’s hope

I finished Judges this morning.
This is going to be quick and to the point.  Israel is at war again, and there are people of all different skill levels I imagine.  You know….like there are in every instance in life, it seems. 
Judges 20:16 offers hope for all of us who are committed to doing something great [...]
