This week, we’ve been hearing this song on the radio called “Build a Boat” by Colton Dixon. If you haven’t heard the song, you should. If you have, I’d love to hear your take on it. I know that many of us have heard the story of Noah in the Old Testament. God tells Noah… Continue reading Build A Boat

You may have heard this phrase referring to someone who’s relieved that their day is done, or looking back over a successful project, but have you ever said this at the beginning of the day? When I think of “All in a Day’s Work,” I think of the ending rather than the beginning. Let’s just… Continue reading All in a Day’s Work

The phrase RSVP is used all the time for various parties, meetings, etc. When we see these four letters, our minds automatically know what the appropriate thing to do is. What’s so interesting about this is that, if you’re like me, it slips my mind or I think, I’ll do it later after I check… Continue reading RSVP – Your life depends on it.

Generally we are a choir of voices, crying or wanting to be heard. But this day, it was just the two of us. I could… Continue reading Listening to Spaghetti Stories

There’s nothing quite like the excitement of watching your child experience something for the first time. But what’s even more exciting, when the anticipation has been building and building and building, and finally, that moment of experience happens! Our oldest just turned five in July, and sometime when she was four, she asked her daddy… Continue reading The JOY of Bubble Gum

I don’t usually write things like this, but in light of events from today and other events of this last year, I feel compelled to have this conversation.  I don’t like to be questioned, but of this, I am certain. I am not wrong. I have full confidence. Whether you believe it or not. That’s… Continue reading What if you’re wrong?
