Did you know that God wants you to succeed? Now before you dismiss this post as some sort of “health and wealth” mumbo jumbo, you need to know that I’m not a big fan of such teachings.

When Life is Hard God is Great
I have a number of friends going through some pretty stinky times right now. All three sons-in-law of one friend are facing daunting illnesses and/or trials at work.

I do like to be in charge of my family’s vacations plans, my Sunday afternoons, my kitchen, and the radio/IPod player in my car. I don’t… Read More
Are You Building Sandcastles?
So how are you with change? I like to think I’m all for it, but the truth is I usually wrestle against it. Oh sure, after God has finally unclenched the fists I have so tightly wrapped around the here and now, I usually find the change He brought into my life was for the good. I look back and… Read More
