I’ve made many innocent blunders in my life. The one I’m going to tell you about ranks up there with the best, or maybe I should say, the worst of them. Starla and I had gone to the hospital to visit a family whose newborn was having a heart procedure. […]
Consistency is the Key!
Consistency is the word of the day. Too many people quit, give up, and throw in the towel before they even give themselves a chance to succeed. This is true in life, marriage, business, work and school. Consistency is the key to success. I remember when my son Kolt was […]
To obey or not obey!
The word of the day is obedience. God is the author and creator of life. God has planned and fashioned your life for success. Ultimately, I believe any success that I have in life is due to following the direction of my creator. Deuteronomy 28:1 “If you fully obey the Lord […]
Serve
The word of the day is serve. I want to challenge you to serve someone today. Speak this word over your life and your marriage and relationships. Too often, we spend our energy and effort working to get ahead only for our own objectives. But what about others? What about […]
Let it Go!
Let it Go. This is the word of the day. Simply, let it go. I remember reading this illustration and could recall a few times when it happened with my own kids. Imagine, a two to three year old little boy in a Play Place/Playscape (like McDonald’s) where the bottom pit is […]

Simplify is the word of the day. Do you hate clutter? Does it bother you or stress you out? Romans 12:8 says, “He who contributes, let him do it in simplicity.” “The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak. –Hans Hoffman Four […]
I have Scars!
“Scar” is the word of the day. This word will make sense if you continue reading. How many of you have a scar? Do you hide it or do you show it off? A lot of people like to show their scars. It’s like a badge of honor. It shows that […]
Move Forward!
Years ago when Starla and I were Pastoring in Houston, I would often go downtown on Saturday and invite the homeless to ride our bus on Sunday to church. I remember talking to man whose street name was “Redman.” I asked him to ride the bus to church, he […]
Stand by your man!
My mother recently told me this story. It sounded similar to conversations I have had with people in my life and in my church throughout the years. My father and mother were Pastors for many years. They saw their fair share of changes in the church. At one particular point, […]
