Leading from the Rear
Matthew 20:26, “Not so with you. Â Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.” Â (NIV) I’ve always been intrigued with leadership.

50/50…Life and Death
Proverbs 11:2, “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” I was reflecting with my wife last night about how up until I was 50 I was planning on living forever and then after turning 50 I began to plan as if I was going to die any moment. Â Part of this…

A life worth leaving behind…
Proverbs 23:4, “Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint. Â Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.” Â (NIV) I am writing this after doing my devotion on a Sunday morning. Â I’m…
