When I was younger, I used to dream of being wealthy enough to donate large sums of money to organizations that were making a positve impact in the world. At that time, I thought cutting a check and being the financial backer for non-profit organizations would be a healthy way to make a difference for […]
Every day, life presents you with an abundance of little choices that play a large role in shaping the outcome of the day – as well as your life. For example, if you wake up early, you can beat a lot of rush hour traffic (if you’re headed to an office) – or beat the […]
Recently, I did something that I haven’t done in quite some time – something I’m embarrassed to admit as a now 3-time published author; I read a book from cover to cover. It felt so good to read one book that I finished another, the same day I finished the first. There’s a good amount […]
Choice. That’s a scary word for some people. I’ve heard it said before that ‘anxiety is simply the overwhelm of choices presenting themselves to the person having an anxious moment.’ Without realizing it, this blog (as well as the one prior) are some of the first blogs I’ve written in recent times without any reference […]
There’s a line Jesus once said that has been popularized by many churches and those who call themselves ‘christians’. It’s taken from Matthew 16: Matthew 16:24 KJV: Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. In my lifetime, […]
It’s been about two weeks since I turned 38 years-old, and not a day has gone by where I haven’t pondered what I’d write down for my birthday blog. For a few reasons, I haven’t had the headspace to write this blog. However, the smoke has cleared, and I now feel at peace to write […]
I have a feeling this blog will get more clicks than others, solely because of its title. Nonetheless, there are a few things I wanted to share today that have been on my mind recently. For most of my childhood years, I found myself trapped in a situation I couldn’t get out of; I never […]
Last year, I remember sitting across the table from a man I lovingly refer to as the “Titan”; a special forces veteran who went on to become the CEO of a multi-billion dollar international company. In his career, he’d sit across boardroom tables with the likes of Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys. Now, […]
Loss. That’s been a theme in my life. A painful one. The loss of my Dad was like getting a left hook from Tommy Morrison in my 20’s. For an entire decade, I struggled to find my feet and make the final turn into manhood. Now that they’re in the rearview mirror, I’m able to […]
I recently completed a discussion of the book Knowledge of the Holy, by A.W. Tozer, with the men in my Bible study. The book is nothing short of a masterpiece, in that it creates a beautiful frame for discsussion of a concept that’s largely unknown; God. The Creator, Spirit, Higher Power, Universe – there are […]
