They will take a mile…
Think about this. Thirty (30) years ago firearms were effectively outlawed in the UK. Today in England, Scotland and Wales, you can and likely will be prosecuted for ‘offensive’ social media posts. The once great leader on the World stage has effectively been castrated as evidenced in its stance toward current events. So who determines…

The day that hope died.
Can you imagine investing 3 years of your life to someone who now hung on a tree? Flesh ripped off from horrendous and sadistic flogging. Blood running down his beautiful face because he was mocked with a crown of thorns. Hanging between two men described as thieves and best case scenario, hardened criminals that society…

Random ramblings of a simple man.
I find myself in a confused and conflicted time of my life. I am solid in my identity. I am solid in the blessings of my amazing wife and family. I am solid in these personal thoughts that I have decided to share. Beyond this, I am wandering and seeking… Your dream is not everyone…

I don’t know why I feel compelled to write this today but I do. I sense there is someone in my small sphere of connection who needs to hear the affirming words that ‘someone they love will be alright.’ You see, I was 36 years old and at the professional pinnacle that I had pursued…

Irrefutable Identity
I have recently been in a Season that I would have never expected to find myself for the remainder of my life. A Season that I believe Satan intended for utter destruction and God allowed to reinforce within me who and whose I am. A Season of attack that continues to backfire on Satan as…

“Dad said the ‘S’ word!”
Do as I say, not as I do. Hmm, or not. (This may be the off ramp for some of my social media ‘friends’) “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear”…

Slow Learners
There are all kinds of ways to quickly cook barbecue but any ‘barbecue master’ will tell you that the final result is in the preparation. I am somewhat of a pork tenderloin and babyback ribs master. My secrets? Haha, wouldn’t you like to know! How do you think the Israelites would have looked upon God…
