I worked hard last week. How about you? Did you make sure you took care of everything that you were supposed to?  Followed through on all of your commitments? Finish the report you were going to do, returned the phone calls you were supposed to return? I have some people…

I just read a great bible study from Dr. Tony Evans this morning that reminded me of something very important – maybe one of the most important things that Jesus talks about in the Bible.  It was about seeking God first in all that we do and it comes directly…

I recently attended a movie screening for the upcoming movie that is being released on March 21st entitled God’s Not Dead. It is the story of a college freshman who finds his faith challenged on his first day of Philosophy class by his dogmatic and argumentative professor – a man…

I just finished watching my favorite movie of all time – It’s a Wonderful Life, starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.  This year it was even more special, because my wife and I introduced this movie to my 7 and 9 year old and we watched it together as a…

I was reminded again this week how much we depend on others for what we do.  I have a report that is due every month that collates information from people across my department. It is a fairly big project that my leadership reviews regularly and it is an integral  part…
