Are you a runner? I used to be. Now, most days I just walk, and as I walk, I dream of running. And not just a couple of miles, but a marathon. Not just any marathon, but an Iron-Man type – which is a painfully enduring race of the survivalist, an agonizing variety. But thenContinue reading “It’s Friday…Run With An Eye For Nothing Less”

It’s Friday…And That Changes Everything
On this Mother’s Day weekend, I’m especially grateful for the two most important Moms in my life: my mother, Theresa – she gave birth to me, and put up with eight rascals (and still is in her right mind, amazing!), and the mother of my two kids, and wife-extraordinaire, Darcy. Their faithful and undying loveContinue reading “It’s Friday…And That Changes Everything”
It’s Friday…The Outcome Is Certain
Has God made a promise to you through His Word? Has He placed a calling upon your life that is undeniable yet unfulfilled, or placed on pause-mode? Know this, God is a God of promise. He keeps His Word, even when that seems impossible. God made a promise long ago to Abraham, Jacob, and JosephContinue reading “It’s Friday…The Outcome Is Certain”
It’s Friday…Don’t Draw Any Conclusions
God is writing a story about our lives. It’s His-story really. But like all great stories, it’s full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and impossible situations that seem to have no possible solution. I’m sure you’ll agree, no one is moved by a story with perfect characters and a few bumps in theContinue reading “It’s Friday…Don’t Draw Any Conclusions”
It’s Friday…That’s Who The King Looks For
Being wanted and a sense of belonging always feels good, doesn’t it? I remember how as a child in the school yard, when “captains” chose kids from a lineup to be on their team to compete in a world-championship game of kickball (every game was a world championship, remember?). Whenever I was called upon toContinue reading “It’s Friday…That’s Who The King Looks For”
It’s Friday…You Are In A Much Better Position
My thoughts are still lingering on the resurrection of Jesus and how His followers must have felt after seeing Him again. Perhaps they thought that He would resume what He started on earth. But Jesus reminded them that He was going away, going back to The Father. On the surface, it looks like Jesus leftContinue reading “It’s Friday…You Are In A Much Better Position”
It’s Friday…His Wisdom Is Yours
The weeks prior to Resurrection Sunday have allowed us to focus on the gracious generosity of God made available to us through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. But most people who have placed their faith in Him believe at some level that God is unknowable. It is true that we can never know everything thereContinue reading “It’s Friday…His Wisdom Is Yours”
It’s Friday…Embrace It
The weeks prior to Resurrection Sunday is a perfect time for us to contemplate the wisdom of God and His proven love for us by sending Jesus to the Cross. The wisdom of the world would never have chosen a cross for its salvation. The wisdom of the world always chooses the path of “obvious”Continue reading “It’s Friday…Embrace It”
It’s Friday…Be Convinced Of The Promise
The weeks prior to Resurrection Sunday is a perfect time for us to celebrate the life we have in Christ. Yet, over my lifetime, I’ve had too many believers to number ask me this question in one form or another: “If new life is ours in Christ, why does life often seem so old? WhyContinue reading “It’s Friday…Be Convinced Of The Promise”
It’s Friday…Know It, Count On It, Cling To It
The weeks prior to Resurrection Sunday is a perfect time for us to assess, evaluate, and be self-aware in our relationship with Jesus Christ. Our life in Him, is influenced by what He accomplished for us through the cross and His resurrection. How we flesh out this truth in our life is a matter ofContinue reading “It’s Friday…Know It, Count On It, Cling To It”
