That uncomfortable place. A few years ago, Kia and I were walking through a really tough time. It was one of those periods of life when we found ourselves in that uncomfortable place. You know…you’ve been there before. It’s that place in life when you do know what you’re supposed to do. Am I supposed […]
Motorbikes & Music Videos. Information vs Inspiration.
Motorbikes and Music Videos When I was a kid I spent what felt like hours in the car going to and from events and practices and school and errands and relatives and everywhere in between. During these rides in the car, I did a lot of daydreaming too. One of the most vivid daydreams I […]
On getting Fat and Happy
Kid Dynamite I was not a boxing fan growing up. I didn’t have much of a chance of that living in a single mother house with 2 women (mom & sister). I’ll never forget, though, one boxing match I did watch. I was staying with my dad in the summer, and we were at a […]
Big Story | Small World
Big Story I believe in living life to the full. Yeah, that’s pretty cliche. Maybe I read it on a scrapbooking website or something. Being completely honest, though, I believe it. I believe we all live life as a story, our story grafted into a much larger story. As a Christian, I believe the larger […]
My Drug of Choice.
My addiction. Last week, I finished Simon Sinek’s book, Leaders Eat Last (for you keeping track at home, I’ve now started and finished 3 books in 2015. Working on 2 more right now).

ATTACK Last week, I shared how I am ATTACK-ing 2015. ATTACK is my 2015 Word of the Year. You can read more about how I’m starting, but I left one thing off my list: Reading. I want to read more books this year – at least 2-3/month. So far, I’ve ready Creativity: Overcoming the Unseen Forces that […]
How to ATTACK
Word of the Year 2015 Earlier, I shared my 2015 Word of the Year – ATTACK. 2013 and 2014 were more theory than practical – TRANSFORM & VISION. I’m excited about ATTACK because it’s practical. Here is a list of things I will practically attack in 2015: Writing. I’ve committed to write here 3 days a week. I […]
ATTACK fear
Why ATTACK? A few months ago, I re-read the story of Noah and the Ark. It’s such a familiar story, most people could pretty accurately recite the story at a moment’s notice. Especially now that Noah has been made into a major motion picture, we know the basics. Noah is chosen because of his righteousness […]
2015 Word of the Year: Ready. Set. Attack.
What’s the Word? Every year for the past 4 years (this being my 5th), I’ve chosen one word I want to focus on for the year. It started out kind of randomly and haphazard. I didn’t have a plan or concept of what I wanted, but it blew up in an amazing way. Now I […]
