It has been said that until we understand the depths of our sin, we cannot fully see the need and power of our Savior. This was certainly true for me. I spent the early part of my life trying to be a good person and convinced myself that I was. I was often called a […]
I just spent 5 days on a ship with around 1700 professional network marketing men and women from one of the fastest growing companies in the world. Your first reaction in hearing that maybe throwing up , “Yuck”, or “I hate salesmen”, but I have to say this was one of the best trips I’ve […]
Last week I ran one of the hardest runs of my life physically and mentally. Most of the battle took place before my running shoes were even laced up. My wife and I were on a cruise in the Carribean between Honduras and Belize. One night, the waves were cresting at around 21ft. I cannot […]

Whose name will you proclaim? Yours or God’s?
Those that know me know that I have a lot on my plate. One might even go as far as to say I’m an over achiever. I don’t think I do it on purpose it just happens. When it comes to my mission in life (carrying out the Great Commission), it’s hard not to apply […]
