Simplicity

I ate a simple meal this evening. One of my best friends recently shared with me that during her prayer time, she felt like God told her, “Let simplicity feed you.” She took the message to heart and stopped going out to eat. Instead, she would go home for lunch and eat a simple meal …

The Tornado

According to The National Weather Service, on Saturday afternoon, a tornado rolled through Bristol Tennessee. I didn’t need The National Weather Service to tell me about the tornado though, because I was in a boat with two of my best friends, drifting down the South Holsten river, fly fishing in it. There was golf ball …

Fortitude

You never truly know what someone else is going through. I know a man who once came to the brink of losing everything he had. Money, home, marriage and faith on the teetering edge as a result of the stress of losing his job. Through it all, he continued to counsel others in the most …

Eowyn

Eowyn left this life today in the early morning hours. The last time I saw her alive was at 5am, and she was laying down, her breathing labored, but tail wagging. Even at the end, she had a smile on her face as if to say, “Thanks for everything.” She was never supposed to be …

Why Thomas Jefferson Was Wrong.

Thomas Jefferson wanted to know Jesus. The Smithsonian Institute has at this very moment, the original “cut-and-paste” Bible that was created by this founding father.

I LOVE YOU.

“I love you.” Awfully powerful words, aren’t they? Over the past year I began hanging out with a group of guys from Lee University. Some are recent grads, some are seniors.

Two Nights, Three Films

When I was in college, I dated a girl who absolutely LOVED going to the movies. There was nothing she liked more on a date than just going to the movie theater, holding hands, eating popcorn and watching the picture show, which was awesome. Most weekends, we could find time on our schedule for at …
