just a regular guy trying to do right
We know that the law is spiritual, but I am unspiritual, ruled by sin as if I were its slave. I don’t understand my own actions—I don’t do what I want to do, and I do the things I hate. By doing what I hate, I show that I agree the law is good. But […]
Imagine a world where people truly followed Jesus. He teaches us to love our enemies, pray for others, forgive those who wrong us, love our neighbors as ourselves, refrain from judging others, focus on our own sins to become clean rather than pointing out others’ faults, and build our lives on His word. “If my […]
I was rushing to fix my truck, wrenches turning and time slipping away, desperate to finish before the weekend ended. In my haste, I slipped on a bolt, cutting my hand. The pain forced me to stop, go inside, clean the wound, apply Neosporin, and bandage it. If I hadn’t felt that pain, my brain […]
There was a time when I couldn’t admit what a sinner I was. My dishonesty made me miserable, filling my days with frustration. All day and night, Your hand was heavy on me, Lord. My strength evaporated like water on a sunny day until I finally confessed all my sins to You and stopped hiding […]
While driving to work this morning, I was thinking out loud and talking to God (thankfully I have tinted windows) and asked myself, where is God right now.

The Hebrew alphabet contains twenty two letters. The Hebrew language comes from God and each word is filled with meaning and insights to creation. David used each letter to start each verse from Psalm 25 below. The bible is alive and such a true joy to read. The bible will bring you closer to God […]
Don’t you hate it when you’re running late, jump in the car, buckle up, and head out, only to hit a crawl a few miles down the road? You ease out the clutch, inch forward five feet, and repeat the process at least fifty times. Glancing at the clock, you realize you’ve been stuck in […]
The Lord answered, “I myself will go with you, and I will give you victory.” Then Moses said to him, “If you yourself don’t go with us, then don’t send us away from this place. If you don’t go with us, no one will know that you are pleased with me and with your people. These people and I […]
I was reading along and all of a sudden I got to this verse and BAM! It hit me smack in the face. “Remember where you have fallen”… What does this mean? Time gets to moving so fast and commitments start to fill the schedule, school is starting up, the new red box movies are coming out, […]
