When my youngest daughter Hunter was turning nine years old she surprised Starla and me. She told us for her birthday, instead of giving her gifts, she wanted to use the money that we would have spent and use it to make lunches for the homeless. So that’s exactly what […]
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 […]

True Love is Sacrifice!
Today’s word is sacrifice. Recently, my oldest son Kolt, was watching a dinosaur movie with his two sons Kanon (4) and Maverick (2). In the movie the family of Dinosaurs were being threatened by a fire. The Daddy Dinosaur came back to save his family only to find that […]
Live long. Live healthy. Live happy!
I recently met a 90 year old man in Cabela’s while picking up some needed items for deer season that is quickly approaching. (a little excited!) His energy and enthusiasm for life was so infectious. I couldn’t help but admire him and desire to be that active when I turn […]
Touchdown!
The word of the day is goals. Everyone needs goals in their life, marriage, relationships and work. I can remember as a kid going outside to play football with my friends. Whether we were playing in the front yard, the schoolyard, at a park or after church on Wednesday […]
