I have a long-standing joke with my wife that started years ago. She is a former athletic trainer and worked with collegiate and professional athletes for about 20 years. She is conditioned to stop whatever she is doing and snap to attention whenever she hears the word “TRAINER!”. We were […]

Breakdown or Breakthrough?
Newsflash- Life is tough. On any given day we are faced with situations that can take us on an emotional roller coaster. They may seem small in nature to those around you, but to you, the person in the middle of the fire, it seems huge. At times it may […]
Real Manhood
When you think of what defines a man, what comes to mind? What does he look like? How does he act? How does he treat those around him? Does he lead by fear or by grace? The society we live in tells us one thing, but I believe that God, […]
Content or Complacent?
