Seeking to make amends, Peter promises to attend every game from then on, assuring him, “My word is my bond.” His son, unconvinced, responds with a skeptical, “Yeah, right!” The son’sContinue reading “Commitment”

Protect The Soul
People will go to great lengths to protect the things they love most. They buy locks for their homes, alarms and security systems, and have something in their house to defend themselves in the case of an unwelcomed intruder enters their home. Those who live in fire danger areas build fire breaks around their homeContinue reading “Protect The Soul”
Return Home
Having just watched The Greatest Christmas Pageant Ever, I can’t help but be reminded of the true meaning of Christmas. In the movie, there was a line that went, “Christmas is for everyone.” How often I forget that Jesus came so that ALL may have life and have it abundantly. I also believe that muchContinue reading “Return Home”
MAN UP!
What has happened to the men in this world? Nearly every day, I hear stories of men abandoning their families, treating their wives and children with disdain and disrespect. I’ve witnessed mothers and wives weep as the men they once trusted choose selfish desires over the commitment to love and care for the woman theyContinue reading “MAN UP!”
No One Is Good…
The other day, as I was driving home with my son, he turned to me and said, “Dad, you’re a good dad!” I felt a rush of mixed emotions. At first, I felt honored, but soon shame settled in, realizing how far I fall short of being a good father. I began to think ofContinue reading “No One Is Good…”

This was unusual, as he never came home that early. He rushed into the family room, and I heardContinue reading “Have We Forgotten?”
The Distance Between Heaven and Hell
The other day, I watched a video of a pastor discussing the distance between Heaven and Hell. He started by pulling out a tape measure and asking the congregation to estimate the furthest distance in the auditorium—wall to wall, floor to ceiling. Then he posed the question: How far is the distance between Heaven andContinue reading “The Distance Between Heaven and Hell”
Sons Need Their Father
This blog is dedicated to my father who has been an amazing source of love and strength and has provided me a strong foundation in which to build my own character. He loved me at my lowest times and never gave up on me. He spoke truth and life into me even when I didn’tContinue reading “Sons Need Their Father”
The Selfish Pride of Life
We live in a world where the only thing that matters is “Me.” Following up on my last blog post about Harrison Butker, I have read many posts that have demonized his words toward women about finding value in being a mother and homemaker. Both men and women are calling his words chauvinistic, arrogant, andContinue reading “The Selfish Pride of Life”
I Stand With Harrison Butker
This week, my social media has been flooded with Chief’s kicker, Harrison Butker, and the commencement speech he gave at Benedictine College. His speech went viral due to his remarks about encouraging women to be homemakers and mothers. He also called out false religion and religious leaders who do not live a life of sanctification.Continue reading “I Stand With Harrison Butker”
