SCROLL

I believe there are moments in every life that transition and develop the mindset which one approaches life. I’ve had, and continue to have, many of these moments occur on a regular basis. There are two short ‘moments’ of this nature I’d like to highlight in the next few moments here. One of them has […]

December seems to be a very difficult time for me. Seeing as how it’s not even December, yet, I’d say this upcoming period of time is going to be nothing short of a real treat. I say this with a slight dose of sarcasm. Life’s unbearable if you can’t take everything into perspective. In the […]

Over the years, I have read and heard many different definitions of what is required to be a successful leader. Some have claimed leadership is comprised of those who are willing to take steps where others will not go. Others proclaim it is seen in those who are able to get a large following behind […]

Were this blog to have been written just a few short hours earlier, I can assure you the content would be remarkably different than what I am about to write. It’s incredible to think about the fact that many of us have been only a few short “however” “therefore” and “But, God..” moments away from […]

Within the heart of every man is the desire to prove himself to be the great warrior he internally envisions himself to be. The tragedy is that men are no longer able to express or fully realize this inner desire/fantasy within their spirit. In a culture where great battles are fought, not with swords, but […]

Dear Dad, It’s been some time since I’ve written you and I was hoping to change that by taking a few moments to say hullo. While I’m well aware that you do not actually read these letters – and I would be upset if you took time away from Heaven to do so – it […]

There are instances in life where I find inspiration from looking at biblical heroes of the past who faced some of the most difficult situations humanly possible. Some of these individuals suffered countless torture and suffering for the pursuit of their faith. Others endured never-ending temptations and temporary luxuries that sought to distract them from […]

For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little. I’ve been thinking about that verse for quite some time, especially with the advent of returning back to school. Part of the challenge for me to return back to school was a feeling […]
