Paralyzed by fear, pain, heartache or a multitude of other symptoms causes us to doubt and become immobilized in our lives. We often become incapacitated due to our hopelessness. Maybe it’s because we are trying to protect ourselves from being wounded deeper, or we have begun to wonder if God even hears our cries and […]

Psalm 90:12 Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom! Time is a commodity that we’ve only been allotted. How we use it, waste it, or risk losing it with those we love is completely up to us. I’m not sure we can ever make up lost time unless […]

The day will come that we will be laying in a box and people will reflect on how we lived our life. Every day should be lived in a way we want to be remembered. “Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,” -‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:15‬‬ #LetsAskDad

All too often I look around and ask, “God, what are you doing?” He gently reminds me “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43:19‬ ‭. Thank you Jesus…I need this reminder […]

Too often we develop a mindset that are unable to make an impact on those around us. Even the more reason to guard your integrity and character. The true impact you leave by your legacy is often greater than your day to day actions even though we see an immediate result from those. It is […]

I love how inquisitive she is! I also have to remind myself that she really does want answers when she asks questions.

They say, “Time heals all wounds!” But time doesn’t heal wounds. It’s not some magical cure all! It does take time and time is an important ingredient in healing, but it’s not the only ingredient! The medicines you take, lifestyle changes, attitude adjustments, new outlook on life, exercise, rehab, prayer, these things are what makes […]

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23. But the fruit of the Spirit: The works of the flesh seem overwhelming – both in us and around us. God is good enough and big enough to change […]

It’s easy for our children to get lost in their expectations of others constantly doing for them. It’s what we do! We provide! However, we need to develop them to have a servant’s heart and look for opportunities to help others. It’s an important trait that has to be learned! #LetsAskDad #TenArrowWarrior #SelflessnessVsSelfishness

I’ve said it before but it requires repeating: “Quality time comes from “quantity” time!” You can’t just flip a switch and have quality time happen! These particular videos would’ve never happened if “quantity” time wasn’t demanded at this moment. We were stranded in a small town in the middle of Kansas due to mechanical issues […]
