Ticked Off

I find myself really ticked off these days. Naffed off. Frustrated. Wanting to hit someone. Simply …ticked off. There are things that I see in the world around me that just press my buttons. Maybe this is a follow up to my last post, A Message of Hope… maybe it’s a rebuttal. But the recent […]

My Body Armor

I was suiting up for another day at the office. Unfortunately, this office was going to be flying about 50 feet above the Iraqi desert and dropping me off into some inhospitable terrain. So I paid a lot of attention to what I was putting on. My main piece of kit, besides my weapons, was […]

And one day he walked down a beach, and shouted to two strangers: two brothers fishing by the Sea of Galilee. His cryptic words were these:

There’s a story in the Bible of Jacob, who wrestled with God. They spent all night wrestling, and the God/Man/Angel couldn’t get the upper hand […]

Getting My Discipline Back

For almost fifteen years of my life, I was used to getting up before sunrise, showering, shaving every day, putting on my uniform that I had starched and ironed the night before, eating breakfast, and driving to work all before the sun cracked the horizon. Every day. Without fail. Burning through razor blades and cans […]

Get Inspired.

I’m learning to let the little things inspire me. Dinner with friends, divine connections, fresh air, good coffee. I had dinner with Joe Bunting of The Write Practice last night. He’s a talented guy and I got the chance to spend some time with him, relax, and pick his brain. Even though it was a […]

3 Recipes for Making Omelets

I was walking the kids to school this week and we passed by some workers who were demolishing a wall to install a new handicapped ramp for a pubic building. My son Ben asked why the men were breaking the wall. I answered, without even thinking, Sometimes to build something new, you have to break […]
