The Empty Tomb Filled with Love
Countless stories have been written about the miracle and marvel of Easter. An act of love beyond all acts of love. The single most important event in the life of Jesus and the single most important event in all of human history. Without this act of love, mercy, grace and generosity, Christianity is nothing more…
Read MoreBroken but Healing
I am a broken man. My spirit shattered and my soul suffering when I began to question everything I was taught in my youth and came to believe as an adult. Like pulling the proverbial loose thread, my whole world would unravel. Collapsing like a house of cards built on sand. Discovering and determining that…

Read MoreMy Yoke is Easy and My Burden is Light
Way too much of my life has been about wanting to please people, particularly myself. Pursuing the approval or the admiration of others. Family and friends, supervisors and strangers.

Read MoreMaking Time About Something More Than Space
Like everything in Creation, God created us; you and me. Creatures crafted from clay and conceived through Divine breath. God commanding the nothingness to become somethingness. Life as we know it and a life that will be made known. Planted in paradise, humanity found itself amidst the Divine. A rupture in the relationship when man…
Read MoreWhy Context is Critical and Intention is Everything
It’s a cold, gray and rainy day and I couldn’t be happier. This melancholy message might seem like a strange sentence to script, but I live in Vegas; and it’s been over 200 days since we’ve had rain; almost seven months.
