Want To Be Where You Are
This is a great thought that I want to share, and one that I hope I can utilize and live more on purpose each day going forward, to WANT TO BE WHERE I AM, and to be fully present where I am and doing what I am doing. It brought me great joy. I hope when you try it, it brings you simple and deep joy as well.
Sometimes You Have to Take it Like A Man
In life, especially when things don’t go your way, despite your best effort, I've learned that sometimes you have to take it like a man. I have been able to apply that message over and over in my adult life, especially the past few years with the deaths in our family and even with my leukemia diagnosis...
What Do You Worship
Duplicity
I have so thoroughly enjoyed writing and sharing this blog with so many. The responses have been uplifting and inspiring and I am grateful.

On the Other Side
What is on the other side of: opportunity, knowledge, racism, anger, cancer? I didn’t have the answers to these questions I was innocently collecting so I began to pray about them and ask for wisdom and insight. They seemed important enough that I should formulate answers. And over the course of the last few weeks, the Lord has whispered answers to me so gently...
The First Roll
"Do you see that the first roll is the most important one because it sets the entire process?" That seemed pretty deep to me. It was so simple, yet profound. There was no way my mat would roll up as intended if I didn’t get that first roll just right. I wondered how many other things there are in life, that I try to force together and shove into places where they don’t fit, merely because I didn’t take the time and pay attention to the required level of detail, focusing on that proverbial first roll...

Old Celebrities Mellow
I had a wonderful experience playing golf at the Hooptee Celebrity Tournament in Charlotte, NC at the beautiful Ballantyne Resort and Golf Club. It was so rewarding to see so many of our athletic heroes from growing up, now aging, and still giving back and using the platform of their fame to endorse and help kingdom causes.
