Greetings after a long pause of writing while i've been living life. Here is a short encouragement from the journey this week. I am a strong believer in the different seasons of life. Some of those seasons or periods of my life have lasted months, while others have lasted years. I am on my first … Continue reading Dusting off the shelf
When Autumn leaves begin to blow
When Autumn leaves begin to blow. The changing of seasons and the slowing of days. In the last few years I have seen more clearly than ever before the frantic pace that many Americans choose to live. I consistently see a pace lived by many that ignores rhythm and pace, to pursue ambition and desire, … Continue reading When Autumn leaves begin to blow
2025 Happy New Year!
Life changes, seasons change, and memories are made. The last few years have been full of transitions and taking steps along the journey of my life. Many of the changes in the last few years of my life have been out of my control. I have watched the way that people make decisions and have … Continue reading 2025 Happy New Year!
Taking Breaks, Reflection, & Starting Over
It has been a long time since I’ve written much. I think the season of life that I have been walking through the last few years has been more about living in the moment, than having the time and space for contemplation and reflection. As we close out 2023 and begin 2024, I think of … Continue reading Taking Breaks, Reflection, & Starting Over
Wood and Dirt
The minutes pass by quickly, the hours sometimes slowly, the days seem long, and the months continue marching on. Each day we wake up again to a new beginning. A new opportunity to live a life in love with Jesus. I was challenged this week to step up, to grow, to be challenged, through leading … Continue reading Wood and Dirt
Pause, Rewind, Play, just kidding, Pause…
We do not get to decide when a season starts or when it ends, that is up to someone else. We do get to decide how we will live our lives while we are in those seasons that seem to drag on far longer than we had hoped. Many people are screaming for this season … Continue reading Pause, Rewind, Play, just kidding, Pause…
Looking Toward The Horizon
The Horizon - The line at which the earth's surface and the sky appear to meet. As I walk through life there have been many seasons where my focus has been on what I am doing from the day to day. That often looks like work, paying bills, feeding my dogs, the monotonous routine of … Continue reading Looking Toward The Horizon
Reflecting on the Journey…
I write not from a place of arrival, but rather from a rest stop along the long journey to our final destination. The times of rest and renewal have sustained me along the path. Sacrifice has been a consistent guide post in my life, allow me to explain, as this may not seem to be … Continue reading Reflecting on the Journey…
Contemplating Failure
In the social circles and society that I have grown up in failure has rarely been viewed in a positive light. In college some of my professors would tell of successful business men who had first gone bankrupt, failed at their first few companies before going on to be successful. This morning my Pastor shared … Continue reading Contemplating Failure
A Journey Of Consistency
Many people live their lives for a final destination, a fixed point in life that they hope to arrive at, and then stay, relax, and retire. My life followed this plan in many ways. Growing up, all that I hoped and dreamed and desired was to move far away and become a missionary. I didn't … Continue reading A Journey Of Consistency
