There are days when you just realize how blessed you are. Some call it lucky. Others call it a fluke. But I’m not one who really does the whole lucky or fluke kind of thing. I believe it’s about being blessed. Blessings are those things that come to us from outside of ourselves that enhance…
In a quest to make my way through 52 books this year, I made my to book 37 for the year and wow it was a good one. Someone suggested this book because I’ve been talking a lot about prayer lately, so I added it to my reading app and when it arrived I did…
Saturday started like every other day for two men in Westerville. They put on their uniforms. I’m not sure what their morning looked like but I’m sure they each kissed their wife and children. Then left for work. After getting settled in their morning routine a call came through and without a second thought, they…
Ok so confession time. I’m a control freak. I love to know where things are going. I try to predict the future as often as I can. Not in that weird fortune-teller with a glass ball sort of way but I try to foresee problems and make a plan to overcome. I’m one of those…

When you answer it, you find a stranger there offering you anything you can think of. Have any thoughts yet? What is it that you want more than anything else?

Starting this week, you’ll find some fatherly advice each Friday. Not fatherly in the sense that I’m acting as your dad, but some simple thoughts from a dad who’s learning as he’s living it. By no means do I know it all. As a matter of fact, I find myself messing up more frequently than I get it…
I’m so excited that the elections are over. And no, it’s not due to the election results.
