While waiting in my senior pastor’s office for a meeting, I did what everyone does, if they’re honest. I began to snoop around his library. I found a book by Christopher Adsit entitled, “Personal Disciplemaking”. As I flipped through the pages, I came upon a portion that was highlighted by a previous reader. It spoke [...]

People climb mountains to get that great feeling of accomplishment. Did you ever stop to consider that one man’s accomplishment must be set against a backdrop of the failure of others? Otherwise, what they have done is just ordinary. It is no great feat to climb a mountain everyone has climbed. I read about a [...]

Aside from my technical hobbies, I am also a fan of history. My college required a concentration of classes in a chosen humanity so it was easy for me to choose history. I learned quite a bit about some time periods and parts of the world that I hadn’t pursued before. In one class, we [...]

There is so much to worry about in the world and no good reason a Christian should. The German root of the word “worry” means to choke. Worrying means that you have faith in the negative and shows a lack of character.
Jesus Christ died on a cross for us and He has the power to [...]

“How many are your works, O Lord!
In wisdom you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
There is the sea, vast and spacious,
teeming with creatures beyond number—
living things both large and small.
There the ships go to and fro,
and the leviathan, which you formed frolic there.
These all look to you
to give them their food at [...]

When we compare these different approaches, we often covet what the other man has and mistakenly conclude that his burden is lighter than ours when, in fact, his burden is just different. One man has wealth, but he’s lonely and has no personal relationships. Another has no wealth and can’t [...]

I was a little anxious this morning. The getaway day for any long trip can get me that way because I have to think upside down. Normally, I think through the first few steps of my day and figure I’ll plan as I go for the rest of it. On the day I fly home, [...]

There are a lot of “Big Steps” we take during our lifetime here on earth. The biggest step we take, once we are here, is to leave the planet without the benefit of man-made transportation. When the lights go out for good for us here, we are taking the biggest step of all. Every decision [...]

Morphing is a new word to my generation. People or things having the ability to change their shapes and abilities to become extra large, extra fast, extra strong or, in some cases, becoming a superhero, is not something I knew in my childhood. Superman, Batman, and a couple of other guys were about it.
Yet, as [...]

This is not my natural state of being. I’m in the middle of a week away from home. I’m living in hotel, eating a combination of restaurant food and vending machine offerings. I’m staying up too late because I get sidetracked reading only moderately interesting articles on the Internet. Each night I sit here feeling [...]
