Encouragement from my son…

Day 161

Be encouraged friends….God has surrounded us with encouragement. Sometimes it is directly to you, and sometimes it is via observation. Short blog today because I am on the road back from Atlanta and my encouragement today came from my son.

He is on a journey with some brothers from his fraternity Pi Kappa [...]

Scared? Me too….so?

Day 160

I just finished reading the Book of Esther. If you haven’t read it….read it…and find out how to stand up in a culture that doesn’t want you around. It is a quick read, and it very exciting. AND…if you want to see it as a movie, pick up, “A night with the King.” [...]

Living with “first world” persecution….

Day 159

My son…who I love dearly by the way…gave me a great line that I really think hits home. “That is a first world problem.” When you really dwell on that, we are really pretty wimpy when it comes to professing our faith. We are really slugs when it comes to serving….because we are [...]

Was that a blessing?

Day 158

We talking about blessings a lot. This or that is a blessing, bless me….etc. What does it really mean? We have different definitions based on different situations I guess…but my main man Noah Webster puts it like this.

Blessing – Any means of happiness; a gift, benefit or advantage; that which promotes temporal [...]

Okay God….I’m waiting…

Day 157

Okay God…where are You? You told me to do this…and I did, and where are You? You told me this is what you wanted me to do….well?

I think one of the major problems in life is that God seems to continually forget how good my plan is…that is until He actually allows [...]

Jesus weeps at sin…do you?

Day 156

When was the last time that you wept over sin? Yours or somebody elses? Or the world’s….does it really bother you at all? In all reality…most of the time I feel like I am too busy to bother. I mean, it is not that big of a deal right? I mean I am [...]

Why would God bless me…

Day 155

Be encouraged…..the answer to the question, “why would God want to bless me?” may be the most life changing answer that you will ever here.’

The answer is easy…He wants to use His blessings to you as an example for everyone else to ask, “how did that [...]

Change your altitude…

Day 154

Back in the day when I had a real job….or a job for that matter, I flew planes for the navy. There is an interesting perspective when you fly airplanes, and that is due to altitude.

I can remember hopping in an airplane when I was having a horrible day….and all of the [...]

Irritation now….blessing later…

Day 153

Be encouraged…those irritations that you have now, no matter how “irritating that they may seem” will turn out to be amazing blessings…WHEN you do it God’s way.

Do you ever have one of those irritations, that you would do ANYTHING to get rid of. I mean, you would take any medication…go to any [...]

Quit asking God to show you the way…

Day 152

Be encouraged….I will make your life a lot easier for you. If you will quit asking God to show you what you want Him to do, you won’t have to stress over whether you will actually do it. How freeing is that? Wait Dan…that sounds a little anti-biblical doesn’t it? Nope….because God knows [...]
