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 […]
Up for a game of politics?
Who’d you vote for? Sometimes it seems beside Jesus, the most important person in our world is the person we’re voting for. President, Governor, Senator, Councilperson, School Board Member – it doesn’t matter how high or low the position, it is near and dear to our hearts. Okay, so maybe politics – the voting kind – isn’t your […]
Single. Uno. Solitary. Solo.
The American Dream. The myth is its possible and probable to be successful on your own. You pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. You do it alone. No one helps you. No one gives you a break. That, of course, is a myth. We all need help, and we achieve so much more in tandem than when flying solo. […]
Wait. Where’d God go?
Hide and Seek As a parent of 4 kids, it’s not uncommon for Kia or I to stop in the middle of a sentence and say, “Where’d _____ go?” We find ourselves asking each other this all the time and everywhere – at home, at friends, at church, in restaurants, at parks. It’s like a game […]
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 […]
Title Not Required

Their business model which operates on the sales of advertising to businesses in local markets. To highlight the importance of this model for their salespeople, they […]
Entrusted with Mysteries
Given a gift Talents and abilities – they are undeniable gifts from the Father. In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks of being given the gift or talent of an apostle. He describes this as being entrusted with the mystery of God. I don’t claim to be an apostle, but I do believe I’ve been entrusted with talent and ability. […]
Immeasurable Resources
The 8 State Lake Several weeks ago, I visited a cattle ranch in Hoxie, Kansas. If you’re not familiar with Hoxie, you’re not alone. Hoxie is a small agricultural town about 20 miles from Colby, Kansas (the Western Kansas stop along I-70 with a Starbucks). Blink and you’ve driven by the exit at 75 miles […]
Without witness.
Unbroken. Unbroken is the incredible, true story of U.S. Olympian and war hero Louis “Louie” Zamperini. Zamperini was a bombadier in WWII whose plane crashed in the Pacific Ocean. Louie and two companions floated in 2 rubber rafts for 47 days before being captured and held in Japanese prison camps for over 2 years. The story […]
