Thirty Thoughts on Thriving
Let’s continue the series on THRIVE. I mentioned earlier that 2014 is going to be the year to thrive. I also suggested that I am not an expert on thriving. I soon realized that nobody really is an expert, so I gathered thoughts from several dozen of my friends. I hope one of these captures your …
Saturday Musings – Pain Reveals Our Core
Sorry, no hummingbirds today. But you still have my musing, a thought that has been rumbling around in my head for a while but doesn’t fit into the normal story format of my blog. Instead of hummingbirds, today you get pain. Really? Pain? I can only share what I muse upon… Pain does …
The Wall Around Your Heart
I don’t often participate in book launches. So often, the book ends up going in a completely different direction than I am as a writer, so it becomes difficult for me to support on my blog. No matter how wonderful the book is. No matter how gifted the writer. I am so thrilled to have come across a …
The Day God Made Me Into a Bullet-Dodging Neo
The other week, God answered my cry for help the day before I prayed it. I know, that doesn’t even make sense. But it’s true nonetheless. I could pull out my theology handbook and argue about how God dwells outside of time, so this is perfectly plausible. If I was going to do that, I’d start with …
Cha-cha-cha-changes
www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rVJ1wT4GpA I am very excited to let you know that there are some changes coming on my site in the very near future. After 106 posts over about the past year...I think I have finally stumbled into my niche. A lot of my journey has not actually been directly related …
The Weekend We Ran Away From Parenting
Four years ago, our family came really close to going crazy. My daughter’s seizures were spiraling out of control. My oldest son was making so really poor choices. My two younger boys were feeling lost and left out. My wife was getting buried in nursing school prerequisites. I was struggling to keep …
My First Author Interview
I am excited to share with everyone the interview I did with Scott Speight on his radio show Below the Surface. We talked about my ebook Losing Hope, Finding God's Heart. I shared some of my story, specifically how I started writing and why I wrote this book. I also talked about my current …
The Myth of Procrastination
I have been stalled on my book for a while now. I have all the chapters outlined. I actually have the whole thing mapped out in my head. But I have only drafted three chapters. I didn’t know why until this morning. I thought I was just procrastinating. Enjoying the summer and relaxing. …
What Writing Won’t Do For You
There are a multitude of blog posts, and really an entire niche of blogs, all about the benefits of writing. You can find your voice. You can make a difference. You can find a tribe. You can be a leader. The world needs to hear what you have to say. Everyone has at least one book in them, so write …
Dormant No More
My writing gift lay dormant for so long. Most of you won’t know this, but I actually won a writing award as an elementary school student for a short story I wrote. It was all about the pain and sorrow of an abused boy living with a drunken father. I called it fiction, but it was more real than I let …
Losing Hope, Finding God’s Heart
I am excited to announce that I have my first book up on Amazon! This is not the memoir about my battles with seizures and faith. I am still working hard on that one, but it’s not ready yet. I have a small but encouraging book called Losing Hope, Finding God’s Heart ready now, for $0.99. My …
