Just take time to do something productive, get some chores done, spend time with family and go to church, watch some football. Have a blessed weekend.

Maybe you love the church maybe you don’t, I don’t know? In this episode I discuss why I love the church and what the church has meant to me over the years.

Family is such a gift from God, whether your a son, daughter, parent, uncle or aunt? You name it family is the bedrock of our Soceity and our world.

In this episode I discuss people how we are all made in God’s image yet different and unique from each other. Some of us are introverts others are extroverts and everywhere in between.

In this podcast I keep up the idea of some things I enjoy, yesterday sports, today it’s maps and directions. I discuss the changes in the last 20 years from the atlas, to gps, to phones. I also remind us that although things change here on earth thankfully God’s Word doesn’t change.

In this episode I discuss sports and why I enjoy it. Sports teach us to dream, sports create drama, and gives us determination. As a wise mentor of mine once said “I will not quit by God’s grace I can do it. Although our world can worship sports and that is not good, we have positives we can take from sports and I discuss that today.

This episode I discuss the blessing of waking up everyday the color and change in the seasons God has given us. In other words it’s a “beautiful day in the neighborhood” thank God for each say and live it to its fullest.

In this episode I discuss the “Rat race” that is life with work, family, the internet. How life is like a rat race but wise Solomon who “had it all” reminds us to “fear God and keep his commandments”. (Ecclesiastes 12:12-14)

Who are your heroes? I share a few of mine from the sports world to missionaries and family members. A simple reminder today that those who are faithful and as Hebrews 11 says “by faith” those are heroes to me. So be a faithful whatever you are today, and your a hero in my book.

Yup, stupid man’s curve it’s a real place in WV have been there end done they, how about you? We discuss stupid man’s curves in our lives and how we can try by God’s grace to avoid them.

Don’t go to bed angry, sounds easy. Easier said than done, I share a couple of thoughts of times I’ve went to bed angry and it shows the next day. Thus, we talk about “be angry and sin not don’t let the sun go down on your wrath”. Ephesians 4:26, also “the anger of man doesn’t accomplish the righteousness of God” James 1. We can be angry but anger that sits and isn’t dealt with doesn’t love God an...

In this episode I discuss the saying “the grass is not greener on the other side of the fence”. Whether it’s in relationships, jobs, life, whatever it might be. There are times when God moves us on, but by and large when things look better in the other side it’s really just perspective. Also, we take a look at 1 Corinthians 4:2 being faithful and proverbs 3:5-6 trusting in the Lord.

Have you ever heard someone say or maybe you have said, “it’s not my fault”? Prolly, we have all said that at one point and heard others say it as well. In this podcast I talk briefly about taking responsibility when we with don’t do something we should or do something we shouldn’t. I reference this is as old as sin, in Genesis 3 with Adam and Eve who also passed the buck. Like psalms 15 reminds u...

Today I discuss the challenges of making accurate calls and or decisions based on situations that we are not part of. Monday morning quarterback is good and needed but much wisdom is needed and as Christian’s we need to rely on one who does not change. Only God Himself who doesn’t change can pull off a correct Monday morning QB. Hebrews 13:8.

Today, we discuss the phrase above used by William Borden. Let us each live today and each day like this with “no reserves, no retreats, and no regrets”. - William Borden. Also, talk a little about the Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy where he says “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course I have kept the faith”. Let’s live this out this Friday!

Today, I talk about a few of my sports teams and players I follow. Some of lessons they teach us about details and how going big starts with the small things the details. We look at 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 and running the race to win for this life and more importantly eternity.

In this episode I discuss the areas in which God is still using the pandemic to disrupt and teach me new and better patterns in my life. John 3:30 “He must increase I must decrease”. How about you? What did or are you learning?

Names have meaning, my name, your name, and God’s names. Today, i discuss my sadness at the loss of one of favorite sports teams names, and the truth that although names change and things around us change thankfully God does not change.

I share a little bio, where my interests are and some directions for the podcast as we move forward. I enjoy sports, theology, Christianity, the church, culture, and of course my Lord Jesus. So, will tackle a subject in one of those areas most episodes. Hopefully meet a few friends on the way.
