It happened again, but this time I caught myself. In the midst of a tight schedule and long to-do list, I lost sight of "today". It's really easy for me to do because it feels really good to get things accomplished! Can you identify? But if I’m not careful I’ll get caught in the trap [...]
One of the most famous prayers from Scripture is the one known as the Lord’s prayer. Chances are you can recite it by heart. It starts out, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”. It’s that last phrase I want [...]

Who Do You Think You Are? Have you ever sat down and really answered that question? The answer is more important than you may realize because decisions you make every day are based on who you think you are and how you derive your worth. In order to live a life of purpose, fulfillment and [...]
The past two newsletters I’ve focused on how to integrate head knowledge about God into a heart knowledge about God. To answer the question, “Who Is God?” to me personally.
