On this Last Judgement Sunday, we are confronted with the disturbing and uncomfortable reality that each of us will stand before "the awesome judgment seat of Christ."

I never understood what my mom meant when she would say "This is going to hurt me more than you" when she'd discipline me until I became a parent myself. It's really true. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying God hurts more when He disciplines me than I do. God isn't like me…

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and I can really see that. The other day my daughter had the same reaction and facial expression I have when I’m frustrated. The moment made me smile, then cringe, then pray “Lord, help me be a better example to my children!” The whole of the…

“Free advice is worth every penny you pay for it!” With that, the old man proceeded to share with me some pearls of wisdom that I remember to this day. Isn’t it funny how much we already know? I mean the truth is I pretty much know how I should live and what decisions are best and what decisions…

Everybody seems to have the same dream at one time or another. For me, it was a dream where I had a big presentation in front of a large crowd and in my dream, I forgot my pants! Embarrassed and humiliated, I ran off stage wondering how I could have made such a mistake! All of…

"By the time we got to Woodstock..." Sorry, in advance for putting that song in your head for the rest of the day. But there is one quote more from that famous Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young song I want to share: "We are stardust, we are golden, we are caught in the devil's bargain,…
