I am expecting [...]
Storm winds, rains, downed power, trees in the road, fender benders VS.Clear Skies, clear roads, cold a/c, smooth sailing, light traffic, and high speeds
I know which I would pick. But, unfortunately, we don’t get to choose what kind of weather and road conditions we face in life. As Christ followers, we must come [...]

I turned 14 and started working at Chic-fil-a at Southland Mall (then Cutler Ridge) to save money for a car. It was all I could think of and I eventually got it, a white ‘87 Mazda 323. When I turned 15, I got my “restricted license” and had to be accompanied by an [...]

Yes it was….butterflies….continued checking. Are there rankings? YES!…Lots of them. It’s got to be one of the coolest websites I’ve [...]
In seminary, I took a Meyers-Briggs personality test. It was helpful in understanding why I am the way I am. The test is also a good indicator of extreme areas that may need to be tempered a bit. Over the years, my personality type has stayed roughly the same though [...]
