  • 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…

    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…

    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:…

  • AN OPTIMIST OR A SUCKER?

    In many relationships there comes a time when believability becomes an issue. Someone has been hurt. Someone has lied. Someone has been manipulative. Someone feels cheated. The circumstances which can lead to the believability crisis can vary widely. In any case the crisis revolves around trust. As I counsel, the theme of trust is frequently…

                Do you ever have a personal “to-do” list?  I do.  Every spring my wife and I sit down and write down our summer projects, which usually means work we hope to accomplish outside, like building a terrace, splitting next winter’s firewood, planting blackberries, etc.  Needless to say, our reach often exceeds our grasp, which…

                I’m working on a new project.  It is my newest book entitled, What Fills Your Heart?  The premise of the book is to set several contrasts before the reader asking which of them fills their heart?  Some examples of chapter titles are: As I write I am encountering the leadership of the Holy Spirit…

                As a Christian Counselor, it is my privilege and responsibility to give biblical guidance to those individuals and couples who come to me for advice and direction.  It is important to me that clients understand that the foundation of my work is God’s Word.  God has given us clear and specific teachings in the…

  • MOTIVATION

    How would you define motivation? Being inspired to get something done? Incentive? Stimulus?  How about something a little simpler, like “want-to”? It has been my experience that unless I really want to do something all the attempts at motivation ring hollow. This has been true when it is self-motivation, but even more so when it…
