In the old days, a guy would get a job at the local bank or factory and work his way up for forty years and retire with the gold watch. Sure, people changed jobs from time to time, but one job in your whole life wasn’t uncommon. Today, I’m looking through resumes where seeing someone [...]

“An unfriendly man pursues selfish ends; he defies all sound judgment.” Proverbs 18:1 NIV “He who separates himself seeks his own desire, He quarrels against all sound wisdom.” Proverbs 18:1 NAS “A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; He rages against all wise judgment.” Proverbs 18:1 NKJV Our pastor quoted this verse during [...]

I love reading Scripture for the umpteenth time. I always find something new. I always see a new angle or get a new picture. Today, this psalm created a vivid image for me. Imagine the beginning of a movie with ominous music. The camera does a slow fly-over of a vast body of water with [...]

“[...]And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:20b This verse is often quoted as encouragement and support for those who feel alone or overwhelmed by their situation. As I read about God being with the army of the Israel in the Promised Land, I realize that confirmation [...]

As a kid, I often heard something millions of kids have heard over the years, “Don’t fill up on junk food before dinner!” It was annoying because it was right. If you fill your stomach with salty snacks or candy soon before dinner, you won’t have room for the nutritious food that Mom put on [...]

I remember our kids growing up and hearing from each of them, at least once, “I didn’t ask to be born!” It was usually during one of those times when their hormones were bouncing around like a popcorn machine working at light speed. It wasn’t much of an answer, but at least it was an [...]

I’ve been listening and reading many of the speeches over the last two weeks. There have been an awful lot of words about what makes a good leader. Of course, each side is trying to make the point that their candidate has precisely what you need and the other guy doesn’t. During all of this, [...]

I realized today how knowledge determines ownership and control. What I mean is that knowledge of a process, an object, or some detail effectively gives you some de facto control over the thing that is known. My son has a computer that nobody else uses. For all intents and purposes, it is his computer. Today, [...]

I remember my father teaching me a deep truth about the working world that I have witnessed innumerable times and has paid off for myself. He told me to find something important in the company and do it very well so as to make myself indispensable. That recipe has worked countless times. I have made [...]

I am often at odds with my Lord. I say this with the understanding that I do not question His authority or His right to make His decisions, but rather how I react to His discipline. When God makes a decision regarding my life, I often rebel because it is my nature to do so [...]
