I learned something very important about goal setting the other day, when I had to ask myself, “What’s the point of setting goals for myself that are always too high?” I even had to ask, “Do I set goals out of reach, in an effort to solidify my lack of faith in my own ability […]

All alliteration aside, I have been focusing myself on being fully invested in every moment in my day.  I have tried to do this in a couple of different ways.  First, I have attempted to plan my time on any given project, in an effort to fully invest myself, while maintaining short, attainable goals.  For […]

What do you do about today? It’s interesting that we nearly always talk about tomorrow, but rarely do we take today seriously enough to make it valuable.  If I take today seriously, what will be the outcome? More importantly, the question is not about today, it is really about Right Now.  What am I going […]

The other day, I was feeding my son his 6am bottle and the thought struck me that parents do a great deal for children that the child is completely unaware of.  In fact, children often overlook parents who are doing their job well, because their needs are met.  Nevertheless, through the course of life, most […]

So many people have been harping on how sad it is that A&E has suspended Phil Roberson from the show Duck Dynasty.  Many of these individuals have claimed that, “A&E knows these guys are Christians, so why are they surprised that they make Christian Statements?”  Well, I have a question.  Why are Christians surprised that […]

I am a little frustrated by some of the things that I hear christians say in revolt to the cultural change that is continuing to take place in our society from “Merry Christmas” to “Happy Holidays.”  I heard one angry “christian” berate the Wal-Mart greeter and besmirch the name of Jesus when she screamed at […]
