  • WHAT DEFINES YOU?

    Through the years I have come across lots of individuals who carry an unnecessary burden of defining themselves by something that doesn’t really define them at all. There may be some physical malady or imperfection that feels like a weight that they can’t get out from under. I know that this was true for me…

  • COMPLIMENTS

    One of the ideas that I was recently reminded of is the concept of dehabituation and rehabituation. I rather doubt that you’ve used either of these words…maybe ever! Let me explain something else that I have learned along the way… One of the changes that may be needed in a counseling or coaching situation is…

  • INFLUENCE

    Are there people in your life that you hope to influence sometime? Maybe it is a simple as influencing your children. Maybe a neighbor or co-worker. Hopefully there are people that you hope to influence such that they come to faith in Christ. In order to accomplish that I have a question that we all…

  • MORE WORDS

    In addition to learning that I’m not always right, that it is important to stay healthy, and that loneliness is a scourge on our society, there’s another thing that I have learned along the way: In many, if not most, cases more words is better than less words. It should be obvious that more words…

  • I’M NOT ALWAYS RIGHT

    There is something that I’ve learned along the way that bears re-learning. In fact, I would go so far as to say that I am reminded of this on a regular basis. Sometimes my wife or other family members remind me. Other times circumstances conspire to show me that, despite my best intentions and planning,…

  • LONELINESS

    It has been reported multiple times in recent years that there is a epidemic of loneliness in our society. My personal opinion is that this has been caused, or made worse, by the proliferation of social media. Not only can this lead to unfair and unwarranted personal comparisons (leading to lots of low self-esteem) but…

  • STAY HEALTHY

    One of the things that I have learned through the years is that it pays to stay healthy. The idea of exercising is more and more popular these days with gyms opening around towns on a regular basis. Let me clarify something at the beginning: there is a big difference between the idea of exercising…

    Another in the series of things I’ve learned along the way…I have found that it is important to be clear in the things I am trying to communicate. It doesn’t matter if this is with my wife, other family members, Life Group participants, or others. Here’s why… I am convinced that words are important. So…

    How many times have you said, or thought, “If I knew then what I know now…”? For me? I’ve said that so many times I can’t even begin to count them! So often in our youth and young adulthood, we make assumptions that aren’t always on the mark. Then after a few years, we look…

  • ANTICIPATION

    I’m sure that, through the years of your life, you have looked forward to something. Graduation? College? Maybe your wedding day, or the birth of your first child. We all could make a list of things that we have anticipated in our lives. How would you characterize “anticipation”? Here’s how the Apostle Paul saw it:…
