The Circle Maker 1

Well I read a ton yesterday and this morning.  I started off yesterday with a solid 90 minutes of 2 Kings and 1 Chronicles, then I wrote my message for Sunday night.  Sometimes it’s a real struggle to get the words of a message out, not yesterday.  I had clear direction of where I wanted […]

Onto the next challenge!

I heard someone quote a quote that stated that successful people read at least 4 books a month.  I don’t know about you, but I want to do what successful people do.  So since live dead is over (the book, not the living dead) I decided the next blog/life challenge I would undertake is reading […]

Live Dead: Day 30!

Well I did it!  I finished the 30-day challenge but I don’t think it ends here.  The principles in this book were just so valuable and challenging that I plan on continuing to wrestle with these issues until I arrive… In heaven, because as long as I’m here I’ll still be in process. The final […]

I Took a Real Vacation!

I cannot remember the last vacation I took.  I don’t mean I took a week off of work and used my vacation time, I mean took a real vacation.  Let me pause real quick and try to remember… After some thinking, and quick research, I believe the last real vacation Amanda and I took was […]

Live Dead: Day 29

I was going to finish this last week, but I took an unexpected surprise vacation, spiritual getaway, and wife date to Tahoe.  Barring Jesus’ return happening today or early tomorrow, day 30 will happen tomorrow, and I will actually finish what I have started. But today was about forgiveness and it hit on many of […]

Live Dead: Day 28

Today was about dying.  The whole concept of live dead is being willing to die, and going to people who may kill you because of faith in Jesus.  I don’t think I’m there yet, and I probably don’t need to be.  If someone were to randomly pull a gun on me, and force to deny […]

Live Dead: Day 27

Looks like I finish Live Dead this Thursday.  It only took 6 months to do 30 days… I have always loved sports.  Being part of a team was just a fun aspect of life for me growing up.  Now that I am all grown up and too out of shape to play a sport, I […]

Live Dead: Day 26

The weirdest testimony of faithfulness I’ve read: “As a result of her years of labor, a tribe of cannibals stopped eating their visitors, no longer killed twin babies, became believers in Jesus, and elevated her to the level of magistrate within their community.” I learned a lot of valuable lessons on submitting to authority as […]

Live Dead: Day 25

I failed today’s challenge as soon as I wrote this sentence…  the topic is humility, my best quality 🙂 The final issued challenge was to not reference yourself for a week.  No using “I”, “Me” or anything about myself.  Is that even possible.  As I reflected, I realized I am pretty self-centered (read all the […]
