    I was reading through Numbers 6 and 7 a few days ago and learned this… God is in the details. God was in the details of creation, God was in the details of the tabernacle, God was in the details of the sacrifice, God is in the details of our lives, God is in the…

    One of the things that I do that Melissa has to call me out on every now and then is using the same towel for too long. I don’t know why, but I hate using a fresh towel. There’s just something odd about it for me. And so, I use the same one for a…

    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…

    I’m not a parent yet, but I’ve heard the stories of how a newborn baby completely changes their parents’ lives as soon as they’re born.

    I write on this blog about everyday. Sometimes, it may seem like I don’t struggle… Like I don’t face daily temptation, Like I never have a weak moment, Like I never fall, Like I never fail. To assume that though, would be a horrible mistake. I fall, I fail, I doubt, Just like you. I’m…

    We’ve all been there… Times when we knew what we were supposed to do, but had so much trouble actually doing it. Times when we knew how we should handle a situation, but also knew what would be more profitable for us. Times when we knew that we were crossing a line, but wanted what…

    When I was a kid, I loved to eat. Even more than I do now. My parents had no problem with me eating (I was a big boy), but they didn’t like me eating at certain times. One of those “no eat” times was before dinner. Starting about an hour before dinner, I wasn’t supposed…
