Is God asking me to do more? As an old & retired guy, my “normal” has shifted from when I worked. I was a “Do More” guy. I was overweight, taking multiple pills for my high blood pressure and headed for a heart attack. My best friend told me, “Rob, you were wound so tight, …
Truth & Trust…
Last week I searched on Google for a man’s plaid newsboy hat. For the next few days, my phone and laptop were flooded with opportunities to buy such a hat. It’s become commonplace in our world. Whatever you search for… technology will flood you with it. Like no other time in history technology is used …
Victim Or Victor, The Choice
Next month will be the 5-year anniversary of breaking my leg. What makes this significant is how it changed the way I pray. As I was laying in the ER at Conway Baptist, Pastor Randy Jumper came to check on me & pray for me. After we chatted, he said, “I’ve got to get back …
Right Where He Wants Me
When I think on Psalm 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God” this is my imagery. It is the security & peace that only comes from being in my Heavenly Father’s lap. We overcomplicate & overthink the most precious part of life. All His Promises…all His Ways…everything leads to this. “…He has given …
“Can I Have Your Order Please.”

There is nothing like being a freshman in college, living in a freshman dorm. It was there I met incredible friends. These friends were rodeo cowboys. They attended college, but their heart was riding on the back of something. These guys were bronc & bull riders. Their objective was to stay on the animal for …
3 Nameless Heroes…
I never knew their names, yet they shaped my attitude & my future. Today, one of the most common phrases I hear is,” I just don’t have time now.” or “When I get caught up, I’ll try.” Priorities…Choices. We all have them. We all chose. God, the great orchestrator of life, brought me into something …

The Dream…On the Other Side of the Door
Many times, we think only the economic, social, and political titans have dreams…but we are all given dreams. The problem is few ever really pursue their dreams. Pursuit is not just an occasional thought of the dream or an attempt but an unrelenting quest to follow the dream. S1 is such a person. She taught …
Glow Worm, Fireflies…Lightening Bug
God’s creations are so fascinating…when we slow down enough to see & enjoy it. I remember as kids we spent most of our time outside. When family & friends gathered our parents always would say, “Ok all the kids, outside! Find something to do.” One of the things we often did was catch “lightning bugs.” …
