Strength & Struggle...

As I posted a few days ago, our team just finished going through Trombone Player Wanted by Marcus Buckingham. In a nutshell, the premise is if you play to your strengths most of the time you have the best shot at making a lasting contribution in life. The more I have read on this subject, the more I...

Starbucks...

I love Starbucks because it’s more than coffee, it’s an experience. We go to Starbucks as a family on a weekly basis. It’s bonding and a fun outing for our kids and us. If we tell the kids we are going to Starbucks they all yell out YEAH! Nothing makes Daddy more proud than to know...

One Month Anniversary...

Today marks the one-month mark for my blog. A big thank-you to those of you who are reading and commenting. I think I am just starting to catch my groove.

Some Thoughts on Sunday’s Sermon o...

Today’s we continued in our series on The Upside Down Way of God - You Must Die to Really Live. The reference was from Matthew 16:24. Once again, just like all the others this does not make sense to our natural minds. Our culture reminds us over and over that if we want to live we have to think only...

Sneak Peek: Tomorrow’s Talk...

Tomorrow we are going to be continuing our teaching experience at Lifecentre called the Upside Down Way of God by looking at how in God’s Kingdom one must die to live. Here is a little preview: What does an apple, orange, and a piece of steak have in common? (Other than the fact that they are...
