I recently attended a baseball game and watched a hometown fan cheer...against the opponent. In fact, he was so against the other team, I'm honestly not sure who he was "for." What about you? Are you living life primarily for something or someone, or against?
I am not good at waiting, but some of life's biggest lessons come from waiting. Over the past 18 months our family has had to do a lot of waiting, and here are a few lessons I've picked up a long the way.
God recently reminded me that He cares about even the little details of my life. How did He do that? Why of course...He sent me a pair of running shoes. I'm pretty sure He's been sending you "running shoes" too!
I'm a pretty simple guy, so I love it when things are easy. Sometimes, life is actually pretty simple, we really just overcomplicate it. Of course, don't confuse "easy" with "simple!"
The other day I ran smack into a wall...a wall called perspective. You ever been hit by that wall? Then you probably relate to what I've learned. If not, let this wall help you at my expense!
My son AJ and I were talking about the million dollar give-a-way at McDonalds and he was a little incensed that McD's would give away one million dollars without paying the taxes for the winner. After all, a multi-billion dollar organization could probably afford to pay the taxes, too, right? His perspective made me look inward about how I view gifts given to me. Would you scoff at a million dollars?
April 15th is a date most Americans don't like—it's the day income taxes for the previous year are filed. But April 15th has a history of bad memories, as it's the day Lincoln died and in 1912, it was the day the Titanic sank. There's a lot of debate about how the Titanic sank as fast as she did, but discoveries in the past 20 years have given us a clearer picture of her demise and there a few lessons to be learned from the disaster that gripped nations around the world.
Back when the South Pole was one of the last explored places on earth, two mean, representing two countries and two very distinct styles of exploration, raced for historical immortality as each sought to plant his country's flag first, at the true South Pole. There's a lot to learn from how these men pursued their goal. (Part 2 of 2)

What kind of friends have you surrounded yourself with, as you journey through life? The length and quality of your life will be directly related to the type of friends you have. Can you trust your friends? Can your friends trust you?
All of us have known people—or maybe you've been that person—who received the terrible news that their life expectancy was going to be shortened significantly. Maybe it was because of cancer, a heart-condition or a freak accident, but whatever the reason, this person will start measuring their life in months, weeks or days. Here are two perspectives about the end of life, and each one makes a world of difference even in the face of death!
Life can truly feel out-of-control at times. Ever had an unexpected tax bill or doctor's fee come your way? Ever get one of those calls that you wish hadn't come? While we can't always control the things life throw at us, we have a lot of influence over how we respond.
I'm very proud and thankful for my Baptist heritage and conservative upbringing. God has used that foundation in my life, time and time again. Thanks to my appreciation for that upbringing, I can also enjoy a few good jokes at the expense of my Baptist friends!
Over the past 14 months, our family has been on a crazy journey that would have been impossible without so many great friends who helped out along the way. As I've reflected on those friendships, I've come up with seven types of people who have been an extraordinary blessing to us along the way...so what kind of friend, are you?
Ever come across one of those Bible verses you don't like? I've found several including this little gem about how God wants to use pain in our lives. Read at your own risk...
Did you know there was a time that heroin was, not only legal, but considered a cure-all for almost any medical ailment? Seems crazy by what we know about heroin today, but it also serves as a reminder that public opinion can be a little misleading.
Public Service Announcement: You are older today than you were yesterday, AND...you are that much closer to your death. With those happy thoughts, please Read-On!
I'm fully convinced that the unhappiest people I've ever met are those who are living without any real purpose or cause. Even people living for a bad cause tend to be happier than those living without any purpose!
