As Sandy and I look back, we have noticed several big defining moments and a ton of small defining moments. One big one is the day I started the site http://www.Inspiration4Everyone.com back on April 15th 2001. I had no idea how big of a defining moment that really was. That was the moment that snowballed into how I met Sandy. We would have never met if it weren’t for some crazy decision that God led … Continue reading
This is some awesome advice for single Christians that I read on Perry Nobles site. He found this on Shane Duffey Twitter. singles – have you ever considered praying that God would literally shape the eyes of your future mate to love exactly who you are? singles – have you ever asked Him to shape the mind of your future mate to complement and complete you instead of mimic you? singles – have you ever … Continue reading
Here was something that my awesome wife wrote to me for my 32nd birthday. I will be turning 40 next month so I hope that I have lived up to this list. She has been so amazing to have put up with me all these years. I am so thankful that God brought her into my life. List of 100 Reasons Why I Love You Your loyalty to me and everyone or everything that … Continue reading
I hear a lot of people talking about how we have to raise the next generation of leaders in the church. I do believe this whole-heartily BUT I also see a lot of people being overlooked because of this focus. There are many great leaders out there who are between 30-50 who will be overlooked because everyone is focusing on the younger generation. As I write this, I want to say this again, I do … Continue reading
When two people marry, I believe that God’s purpose and vision for you moves into a new direction. I think this is one of the problems out there. So many people in marriage want to be independently dependent but actually we have to be interdependent and there is a HUGE difference. I believe the whole purpose of God saying for us to become one flesh is that once we marry, we are to have one … Continue reading
This past week Sandy and I had an amazing event happen. We had a doctor appointment for us to see our first baby’s ultrasound. We were very excited about it but I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the baby move, raise its head and even kick its feet around, I was blown away. I guess I thought a baby just sits there at 12 weeks but WOW what an amazing site … Continue reading
There are so many people that try and tell you how to find God’s calling and yes I guess I am hoping to give a few ideas from a different perspective. The most common idea I have heard is that whatever comes naturally to you is where God is calling you. I would have to disagree with that. Will that be the case sometimes? I am sure but I think that is not the case … Continue reading
I think one of the biggest traits of a leader is to be able to inspire people to move to the next level. Without that your organization will not grow. A leader does the greatest inspiring when he or she is truly inspired themselves. You can’t give what you don’t have. Have you ever seen someone preach and you just knew their heart wasn’t in that sermon? Yes we all have and that doesn’t inspire. … Continue reading
I don’t understand people who actually believe if a Christian befriends a person of another Faith that he is going against God? REALLY?? Didn’t Jesus walk with different people so that he can help them turn to the ONE True God? Didn’t the disciples go out and walk with people who fit that too in order to help them see that Christ is the answer? Christ tells us to ‘make disciples of all nations, baptizing … Continue reading
This may be hard for some to read but I have to speak what is on my mind from a Christian standpoint as I see it. I watch so many people who are using time in such a way that it is destroying families. I look at a mother and father both working 50-60 hours a week on average and farming their kids out to the lowest bidder and justifying it by saying well, this … Continue reading
