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- […]

He Prepares the Way!

I just got to share this TRUTH! I LIVED it out today! When you are doing what God has called, ordained and/or created you to do, it comes EASY. It feels right, it looks right, there is no confusion and when it’s actually GO TIME, theee is no resistance.(Yes, there is often resistance in the […]

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 […]

Level Up: Repentance

“Repentance” sounds like a harsh word to many but it is an essential aspect of the gospel and has been called “the first word of the gospel.” When John the Baptist preached, he said, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” (Matthew 3:2). When Jesus began to preach, He said, “Repent, for the […]

Level Up: Praise

LEVEL UP.   Back when I completely changed my life after healing from my divorce, one of the things that I did was become a certified Life Coach. I wasn’t walking with the Lord back then, but my love for helping others that has been with me all my life got amplified through my own healing.   […]
