Grace!

Grace; that word has so much meaning. Who is she? She is the template of what real love looks like. She gives total forgiveness to those that don’t deserve it. Her heart comes from Christ, and she knows how to follow in the way of her creator. When Grace walks into the room everybody turns…

Stop Playing Games!

Growing up in the secular world I found that the art of relationships was a big game. There were certain things that you were told to do to try and get a girl interested in you. As a boy, I fell into listening to them and attempting to apply them. Each time I would hear…

It’s been a while since I have been able to sneak away and go on a full all day date. But this one I wanted to make extra special. My plan was to wake up REALLY early, like 3:30 am early and take a three-hour drive to watch the sunrise in Coromandel. Everybody I talked…

Don’t Give Up!

I can’t tell you how many times in life I have been to a point of wanting to give up and just go to heaven already. When I look back at all those times of feeling like I was helpless and wanting to give up there is one thing all those experiences had in common. …

Love Them By Getting Out Of The Way!

One of the hardest things to do when you love somebody is to step back and allow God to work on that person. When someone is struggling, often we want to do everything that we can to step in and stop the pain that they are experiencing. We want to help in any way that…
