And so we begin another day. God has seen fit for us to rise up from our beds again to awake, refreshed, renewed, and ready to take on the challenges of a new day. And what a day I pray it will be. When we understand that our purpose is to bring glory and honor […]

This week has certainly been a blur for me, and so I have not been able to update my devotional every day like I had intended to. Between work and meetings, and experiencing a new set of chores that have helped me to empathize a little more with my wife, I have had to adjust […]

Today I come to my devotional with a heavy heart. My marriage is really suffering lately and my wife is at her wit’s end with me. Things have been bad in the past, but not to this point. And so before my brothers and sisters in Christ, I openly confess that I have not been […]

Today I thought that I would focus in on the last two verses of Genesis 26 for my devotional because these two verses could be a study on their own as they provide some interesting insights into marriage and family relationships. This won’t be a very long devotional study, I wouldn’t think, but I hope that […]

Sometimes I think the men who wrote the Bible did it in such a way to trip me up and show me how little I really know. LOL. Just when I thought I was settled on something, I read further into the Bible and have to change my mind thinking. I am glad that the […]

It is interesting how the proverbial fruit does not fall far from the tree. As a father, I understand how much of an impact I can have on my own children by the way that I behave. They are like little sponges and soak up things in an uncanny way. My wife often cautions me […]

Being the oldest of my siblings I understand a few things about “birth-rights.” First, you get the right of making all of the mistakes first, which makes me a “born leader”. You’re basically your younger siblings extra parent. You always get shotgun when riding in a car with your younger siblings. You don’t have...

And so coming to Genesis chapter 25 in my daily devotional we say goodbye to an old and faithful friend, but not before we learn a little more about the ancient with libido. Apparently, our old friend Abraham didn’t lose his “drive” and takes another “dive” while he is still “alive” (sorry…sometimes I...

And so coming to Genesis chapter 24 today in my devotional I am borrowing from a study I did many years ago around the topic of courtship and dating. My wife, Erin and I had a formal courtship, and while we did not view it as some elite, holier-than-thou, process that made us better than […]

In 2014 I laid to rest both of my parents within a month of one another. It was a really hard time for my family. The passing of the generational torch is difficult. As a younger person, you don’t think much about death and dying. The concepts seem somewhat ethereal and unreal. It is not […]

The truth is there is no greater name in heaven or on earth by which a promise can be made than that of the LORD. Technically, the only One who has the right to swear by such a name is the name-bearer Himself. That is because He is the only one capable of absolutely keeping […]

You know, since I started my own agency I have really loved working and plying my trade. This week has been one of those weeks though where I find myself saying, “Thank God it’s Friday!” I have been so busy this week I have scarcely had any time to get into my devotionals here. It […]

It is good to be back in the WORD after a crazy long day. I managed to get much accomplished today and so it was quite productive, but I long for this time where I get to really analyze the Scriptures and learn. “But that is what church is for, ” you say? Yes, I […]

I’m back! After a crazy week and then Easter weekend, things have been pretty busy around my house. I was privileged to be able to serve at church this weekend as one of the stage cameramen. In my attempt to be inconspicuous I waited in between sets behind the giant LED wall that was on the […]
