• What Your Wife Really Wants For Valentines Day!

  Oh, yes! It’s that time again! Time for the red cards, chocolates, and roses. Valentines Day is a special time to tell your loved one that you really care. A time to celebrate love and romance. For some men, this can be a bit frightening. Getting just the right gift is really hard. You may need…

• It’s Just Messy…

  We have a local group called Kaleid (short for kaleidoscope) that works to unite ministries, mission organizations and the Church (the big C church).  During our meeting on Monday night, we had an extended discussion about how to keep your ministry team together and strategies to avoid division and problems.     I know first hand…

• Living the Adventure

  Last Sunday night, my wife and I went to a party at a friends house.  It was a cool night, at least by North Florida standards.  The house had a great outdoor patio with brick walls and garden areas.  In one corner of the patio was a firepit that turned out to be a very…

• Eyes Wide Open

  I took this picture Saturday morning:    Yes, it is remarkable that an azalea is blooming this early- easily a month early.  But this is not the thing that makes this picture special.  Yes, this particular azalea is brilliant in color and a beautiful flower.  But this is also not the reason I am sharing…

• Light the Path

  I believe that there is a desire to make a difference in the world that is woven into us at birth.  To make your mark- to put a “dent in the universe”.  Your choice is to either follow these desires and dreams or suppress them and give up.  The choice to give up is easy…

• The White Knight

  “The opposite of pride is not humility as being humble often contains a measure of pride. The opposite of pride is actually gratitude”!   Mary New Mary shared this to a group of friends recently.  I think there is a lot of truth in this statement.  We often think being humble or meek is admirable, yet…

• Christmas Aftermath: Sifting Through the Rubble

  I have to admit: I get pretty frustrated with the Christmas season as it has become.  The commercialization and extreme excess of the holiday is overwhelming to me.  I want a quiet day in which we can just relax and reflect on the importance and meaning of Christmas.  The true meaning of the season- the birth…

• Men: 10 Shopping Tips for Christmas!

  Ah, the Christmas season has begun!  A time for family, great food and gift giving!  One problem:  The thought of Christmas shopping makes most men cringe.  I would guess that most men would do diaper duty instead of hitting the mall!  Yet, we know we have to do it AND it’s coming up pretty quickly…

• Addicted: The Power Surge

   John steps up on the stage like he has done a hundred times before.  He watches as the eyes of those seated pan along as he moves towards the podium.  He thinks back to the past when this moment was terrifying and he laughs to himself.  This time- no nervous stomach or sweaty palms. He…
