“What is it?” 3 simple words that have now changed my life in ways many will never understand. You see I just spent the last 3 days at Snowshoe Mountain in West Virgina with my buddy, my 9 year Read more
“keep it simple”
Stop overthinking. How often does God open doors right in front of us and we overthink it. We self-sabotage, we come up with all the reasons not to do what God has placed before us. Maybe it is time to start thinking more like a child with a simple, "Daddy, said it, okay I'll do it. Trusting Him. Read more

That’s not fair
That's not fair! how many times have we all said that. Whether we will admit to it or not, there are moments we even say the same thing to God. Why did that family get blessed, and mine didn't? Why did they get healed and not me? Why, Why, Why? Silas likes to remind us that sometimes life isn't fair, but neither is grace.... Click here for more of the story. Read more

“Breathe”
As we left I started thinking about this idea of the “dead fish.” No matter how much the girls would twist it around of pick it up and down, that fish was still dead. There was no life to it, no breath, no movement, nothing. Scripture is filled with references of God breathing life. In the beginning God formed man out of dirt and breathed life into his nostrils. In Ezekiel we read of God bringing dead bones to life. In the Gospels we read of Jesus calling Lazarus from the grave. Bringing what was dead to life. Read more

“You Stink!”
“When was the last time you changed them?” The hesitation begins and then, “Maybe 2-3 days ago, followed by the I think.”
“But you bathed since then.”
“Yeah what’s your point dad.” Eli replies glaring back at me.
“And you put the same socks back on?” Lindsey chimes in shaking her head.
This is now followed by the confused, “I’m sorry, but why do we have to change our socks everyday?”

“Yes, No, and Wait”
If you have ever been in church before then you have heard your pastor say when it comes to prayer that God responds in one of three ways, “Yes, No, and Wait.” Maybe you have even heard me say it. If I am to be honest though here for a moment, wait, is probably the most frustrating answer. Especially when you feel that day in and day out that continues to be the answer. Your patience’s starts to wear thin and you find your self trying to barter with God saying just give me an answer already.
