Testimony Time!

THANK YOU JESUS! TESTIMONY TIME! When we officially got our van, I ordered one of these inexpensive CarPlay doodads on Amazon, and it works great!I have it set on FM transmission, and it plays to an empty FM station on the dial. I drive A LOT, and never have had any interference. This morning, on […]

The Journey

This week, I’ve realized that the JOURNEY to my goals is so much more powerful and rewarding than actually achieving the goal. The journey is where you get your bumps and bruises, where you have to fight forward. The journey is where you gain strength, wisdom, understanding and learn how to dig deep. The failures […]

Thanks, 2025!

As 2025 comes to a close, for the first time in a very long time I can say that I’m proud of myself! 😁The last 8 years of my life have been a fight. 🥊 After I devoted my life to the Lord and ministry, I have fought through illness, injuries, surgeries, depression, weight gain, […]

Build Better

Which one looks more stable? We live in a fast paced world- I get it. But after 30 years of leadership, entrepreneurship, and management of million dollar businesses, I have grown weary of the ‘pedal to the metal’ approach to building wealth and business. It doesn’t work; it’s never worked and it never will! Sure- […]

CRAZY God Story!

TESTIMONY TUESDAY and CRAZY God story! So, you may recall our eventful trip to Lancaster, PA two weeks ago, where my Cadilllac SRX broke down a mile from our AirBNB.She was NOT drivable due to some loud “clunking” in the rear end, so I called AAA to have her towed to the nearest Cadillac dealership. […]

A-ha!

I had an “a-ha” moment this afternoon! I had just gotten home with the kids, and was in our bedroom looking out into the backyard. I said to myself, “I can’t wait until I can sit out there with my laptop and work in a few weeks!”School will be done, and I will officially be […]

The Reality of Parenting

Oh man….. this quote crushed me this morning. As a parent, we want to protect our kids, right?Shield them from the pain and darkness of this world, keep them from trouble and frustrations. Grab them by the hand and rush them past the broken hearts and the sinful ways that so easily ensnare them. But […]

Creative People

I read these words about creative people the other day, and it rang so true throughout my heart and mind! The last few years have been very difficult for me- working multiple jobs to “get by”. The last year has been increasingly difficult as a lead pastor and worship leader of a growing church, and […]

Pastoral Ponderings: Purpose

Yesterday, I was given the opportunity to prepare lunch for the staff and faculty of Christian Central Academy. I was in the kitchen where I work every day; but working by myself- with the doors closed. Just me and the Lord, some heavy prayers and intimate time with my King. At some point, I began […]
