    When I was still living at home, my parents decided to remodel their kitchen. They decided that they really liked tile floors and called the tile man. I still remember how careful the tile guy was to be sure that he was laying the tile on a smooth surface. Every few minutes, I’d see him…

    Life has a way of getting the best of us at times. It can punch us in the mouth and pick on us ruthlessly. Sure, we have to trust God, we have to keep our faith and know who we are in Him, but sometimes, we gotta fight back. We can’t just stand there and…

    Leadership is about priority, not position. No matter what we’re leading, it’s important that we lead because it’s a priority to us, not simply because we’ve been placed in a position to do so.

    I don’t know if you’ve noticed or if it’s necessarily the case where you live, but where I live, Dollar General stores have popped up everywhere. Anytime I ride by one or reluctantly walk in one :), I can’t help but notice how they all seem to have a booming business. The reason? In my…

    It seems we live in a world that loves to make excuses. We make excuses for everything. Instead of taking responsibility for our own actions, we pass the blame off on someone else. Instead of confessing to a mess up, we make up a reason things went wrong. WRONG! We have to take responsibility for…

    Most people I know are really good at looking into the past. Seeing what’s happened in their life, seeing what they’ve accomplished, seeing how they’ve failed, remembering past experiences. While it’s definitely never wrong for us to look in the past to celebrate what’s happened and thank God for His faithfulness, I’ve noticed something… It’s…
