When The Time Comes

I want to share a story that is very personal to me… It is such a huge reminder to me every single day that God has a perfect plan for us. It really starts back when I was in 6th grade and broke my jaw playing soccer. That was a moment that would change my [...]

Pillar of Salt

A little over 8 years ago God changed my life at the exact moment I asked Him to. I was sitting in a circle of women saying how “If God asked me to give up everything to follow Him, I would.” Luckily, He only asked for a few things. Within a short 3 months I was living in [...]

The Crux

In my early to mid-twenties, I rock climbed. I did it for two reasons. One was the challenge of it. It was not just a very physically involved sport, but it also involved your mind as well. I also did it because there were lots of cute boys out there at the crags. It was [...]

Losing Control

Growing up I often found myself planning out my future.  I was going to go to college, get a job, get married, and have a family.  My wife was going to be a stay at home mom so that our children could have the same experiences that I had as a kid.  My dad worked [...]

We have seen a lot of God’s creativity over the last few days. Amazing. Mountains, Desserts, Rivers, Prairie and Plateau …. there is so much [...]

Pressing Towards the Goal

Philippians 3:13-14 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”   On your marks……  [...]

Road Trips

I would like to start by pointing out that the new blog has just completed it’s first full month… so I decided to celebrate by presenting our first video blog. However, the truth is this particular video is over a year old. It was actually my very first “video project”… and it was the impetus [...]

Honoring God & Inspiring Others

Do you limit yourself? Do you limit your dreams? Are you afraid to begin because you can’t see the end? I do. Last year I quit smoking. Then, a friend challenged me to run a marathon. A What?!! A marathon, a running race that is 26.2 miles long. In September of last year I started [...]
