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 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Who doesn’t love to start their week off reading about sacrificial giving? The answer is me. It seems like no matter how good I feel like I’m doing in the area of giving, there is always a way to be challenged more. Even though we give regularly to different things, it just seems like there’s […]

I was looking back through old posts, and realized I started this in November. Over 5 months ago, I started this 30 day challenge. That’s pretty out of character for me for several reasons. 1. I like to win. Finishing a challenge is winning, I usually finish what I start promptly. 2. I love the […]

Interruptions. I hate them, you probably do too. For me, I like a schedule, I enjoy routine, and I plan on being early. Interruptions, well, interrupt the plans that I have for myself. But often God will use interruptions that feel at the time quite inconvenient. Today’s challenge/reading was about seeing how God works through […]

I have a day slammed full of missions event planning, so I decided the day needed to be started off with some Live Dead challenge. After speaking for a few minutes in church yesterday, I came to a realization. This 30 day journal/challenge has taken me nearly 4? months to complete. I mentioned that in […]
