Relationships are SO important. Wow – such a profound statement, right? This blog has me thinking about this as top of mind recently based on the phase of life I find myself in. Plus, some recent happenings have also been placed at the top of my mind as well. A friend of mine passed not too long ago. It was heartbreaking … Read More
BE DRIVEN
Being driven has been a “something I was born with” asset since the beginning. I have always been competitive with sports growing up. I had Ricky Bobby’s dad, from Talladega Nights, voice in my head all the time saying, “If you ain’t first you’re last.” That mentality has been a great asset in my life, but just like in the … Read More
Surrender
by anonymous Absolutely not. No way. That is the last thing I was able to do. Instead, fight until the end, until the last breath, yadda, yadda, yadda. I’m a guy who has been largely successful in my own little corner of the world. And while I’ve been a Christian for nearly 20 years, I have always thought that my … Read More

There seems to be a bit of a theme to my posts now. Not going to apologize for it, because I’ve figured 1 thing out in … Read More
The Cross
In my last few blogs, I’ve talked a lot about living a life as a follower of Jesus. But why listen to any of it if Jesus is a fraud. Because that’s really your option. Either Jesus is who He says He was…God and our savior; or he’s a fraud, a mad man, and a lunatic. Those are your 2 … Read More
