Tomorrow, 100 million plus will sit in front of a TV and watch — commercials… …and a little football. The Super Bowl is the apex sporting event drawing viewers in over 200 countries. Unparalleled, the world is its stage. This year – in particular – the storylines are epic. On one side you have Peyton Manning, arguably the greatest quarterback in NFL history. In addition to his list of accomplishments, Manning is notorious for being one of the classiest players […]
As the sun disappeared into the vast horizon, the night sky began to illuminate with countless stars, more than I could have possibly imagined. It left me in complete wonder. The gentle sway of the boat coupled with the warm salt breeze put my mind at ease. With each breath, my anxieties faded into the darkness of the night sea. The struggles of the week and the realities waiting back home were out of sight. All I could see were the […]
As we slowly walked toward the den of lions their deep roar rattled within my bones, sending a chill throughout my entire body. How could we possibly throw this man in with those ferocious beasts? I knew he felt the chill and heard the roar as well. Even so, I heard him utter under his breath: “O God of my fathers; praise be your name forever and ever. Wisdom and power are yours and you give it to the wise […]
Yesterday, I was blown away to find out that a fellow blogger quoted my writing on her site. Please understand that it wasn’t the fact of using my words, although I was honored and so glad they spoke to her, it was the quote she used that got my attention. (PS – Robin writes about a Courageous Heart here, go check it out!) She quoted words about my grandfather’s suicide. “Life will be full of moments that can define you, […]
Welcome to Seeking Saturday: 2014 Edition 1 If TRUST is my word for 2014, I have to ask myself this question. Why is trust important? __________________________________________________________________________ This wind is howling outside. It’s simply the cold front rolling in, but I can’t stop thinking about God. He is at work and His work is mighty. Like the wind, he is invisible, but you can hear Him and see His movements. As C. S. Lewis said, “I believe in God as I […]
I don’t have it all figured out, but I am searching as I continue my journey. I especially DO NOT want to preach. But I do know this… I’m tired of adjusting the truth… I want to be wise… “When the truth presents itself, the wise person sees the light, takes it in, and makes adjustments. The fool tries to adjust the truth so he does not have to adjust to it.” – Dr. Henry Cloud This isn’t a sermon […]
Earlier this week, I saw an online guru share the number of website views they have each month as a way to introduce themselves. It was an attempt to validate the scope of their leadership. My initial reaction was, “Holy cow, that’s a lot of influence.” Feelings of insufficiency immediately followed. One million views a month seemed incredible. I quickly discredited my own opportunity for influence, but then I remembered when I first began blogging and 10,000 views seemed unachievable. Whether it is website views or […]
We get busy in life. Matt reminds us of why we dedicate ourselves to something other than ourselves.
