    Vision can often get fuzzy while in the heat of battle. Our temporary frustrations combined with our desire for comfort can often prohibit us from seeing our vision. We often become frustrated to the point of calling it quits and returning to the mediocre accomplishments that we had before. We see an example of this…

    “Don’t exchange short term contentment for long term vision.” This was a quote that I found in my quiet time journal from several months ago. It was completely Spirit given!  Many times we exchange our God given vision for a quick solution to a problem. We settle for what we think will make our lives…

    One of the most important things that can be revealed to a Christian is their individual purpose in life. After finding our purpose, it motivates us and strengthens us to see it accomplished. What often happens, however, is that other things begin to cloud our view of the purpose that God has called us to. Often…

    All I Want for Christmas from NewSpring Media on Vimeo. And to think, for years people have thought church had to be boring, dull, and full of untalented people trying to look good in front of other people. The most amazing things should be seen within the walls of the church!

    I pay attention to detail. That’s just the way I am and I don’t apologize for it. Attention to detail is important to me because I think it shows how much we really care. I’ve seen great ideas, but the lack of attention to detail made it less effective. I’ve also seen things that weren’t…

    I have made it! I have successfully completed my undergraduate classes at CSU. I will graduate today with a Bachelors of Arts degree. Looking back on the past 4+ years, I have a lot of memories and even have to admit that I have learned some things. To sum up what I’ve learned, I have…

    Yesterday, Melissa and I had to go to St. George to apply for our marriage license. Since we were already half way, we decided that we would go to the house for the day to get some things done.  Melissa bought a cabinet to hang on her bathroom wall a few weeks ago at Target.…

    Most of life’s up’s and down’s happen within a moment. When we stop and think, many of life’s biggest changes happen in a moment. In a moment, people can go from thinking that we are relatively smart to thinking we’re complete idiots. In a moment, we can make a dumb financial mistake that we pay…

    If someone is living and breathing, junk is going to happen. If we are living, we are going to be hit by one of life’s curve balls. Here are some questions I try to think through when something comes that I wasn’t expecting: -Is this something that I can do anything about?  Many times, the…
