Afternoons with Sonny

Doug was at home the other night, dozing off to sleep on the couch...till this happened.

I know this is a little off the wall, but I truly believe I can hear God better when my room is clean.

Has there ever been a moment you've tried to teach God something? I know you probably think this question is silly and you'd be right, it is. God is the creator of the universe, what could I ever teach him? Well let me share with you my moment of immaturity where I tried to do just that. I was 17 years old and was with my youth group teaching English to kids from the Czech Republic and the first n...

You've probably heard of Beethoven, the classic composer and pianist. In his older years, he used to play this broken harpsicord until tears would stream down his face. It wasn't from this music sounding bad, though it did. You see, Beethoven couldn't hear how out of tune the instrument was because he was deaf. He cried because he could hear how to the music was supposed to sound. Maybe you feel l...

I know this is kind of strange, but the act of looking at yourself in the mirror makes me sad. I know firsthand and through conversations with friends the dialogue that takes place in that meeting with the mirror and, a lot of the time, that inner conversation is pretty ugly and harsh. Here is a story of a woman who struggled with her own negative inner voice and how she was able to break that cyc...

Here's the truth: you don't have to fight your critics. God created you for a very specific purpose and an important assignment and there will surely be naysayers along your path. I hope you'll take encouragement from a character in scripture named Nehemiah. Nehemiah wasn't a priest or a pastor, he was a business man. Israel has been taken captive by the Babylonians and had been in exile for 70 ye...
