Often I feel like I am always late in the game of life. Late in my career compared to my peers, late to investing in the good deals, and just generally feeling like I am behind the 8 ball, so to speak.  Sometimes when I think about it too long, it’s easy to only see

As we step into a new year, many of us are looking for a new beginning, a fresh start, and somehow trying to do things differently than in year’s past. Over the years, I have cycled through the different ways to focus my mind and heart for the coming year.   There were the new year’s

The song “Goodness of God” (as sung by CeCe Winans) has been on repeat for me over the past few weeks.  It seems to be the perfect soundtrack to my life, especially as we enter into this holiday season. The song is a powerful reminder that through the highs and the lows, God is still

As we begin a new year, I’ve been hearing more and more people approaching 2022 with cautious apprehension…myself included. If we are being honest, it feels like the last two years left us deflated. 2020 was supposed to be the fresh start of a new decade.  20/20 vision.  Boundless possibilities.  But just a few months

This season is so busy.  Christmas parties, family gatherings, last minute shopping, secret Santa exchanges…and the list goes on and on.  It’s so easy to lose focus on what this season is all about.  There was a very long period of Israel’s history when the prophets of God stopped speaking and Israel did not hear
