Rest at Work
I am not talking about Stanley at The Office idling through his day with crossword puzzles, clock-watching, and sarcasm. Nor about George Costanza lounging under his desk at Yankee Stadium. I am talking about being highly productive and being at rest at the same time. This is possible! To illustrate this point, I turn to…

A Modern Thanksgiving Psalm
Why, O God, do You save me? Despite my willingness to turn into the wilderness, You, O God, jealously pursue me out of the darkness. Why, O God, do You save me? You have called me from THE beginning; Before MY beginning You called me Yours. Why, O God, do you save me? You placed…

Even if you do not spend a lot of time reading & studying the Bible, you are more than likely familiar with the story of the Good Samaritan. I believe this is an important concept because I encourage everyone to look at the Scriptures as A great source of truth for living, even if you…

Do Better: Part III
I do not remember the exact day, but I distinctly recall reaching the age when I first understood that my parents were not the perfect people that I thought they were. The age of innocence was past, and I began the process of learning through observation both what I admired and what I might not…

Do Better: Part II
In this series, I am encouraging each of us to look in the mirror and take on the personal responsibility you have to yourself, your family, and to society in general. Too often, I believe, we dedicate too much effort and mindshare to our stance on an issue and therefore miss out on a great…
