I was talking with a friend the other day and shared the fact that I felt as though I hit a dry spell in my faith walk. No matter how many different ways I prayed and read scripture it was like God wasn’t listening or talking to me. I was seeking guidance about something in…

God Blesses Obedience
Proverbs 21:3 “To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.” (NIV) A couple of weeks ago I caught up with a friend who is in recovery. He had sought help from me a little over a year ago and I hooked him into a place that has transformed…
It Ain’t Me…
Phillippians 4:4-9 “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds…
Some things never change…
This past Sunday marked the 20th consecutive year I’ve been in Cincinnati watching my beloved Bengals at their home opener. Prior to the game I took this picture and sent it to the rest of my family with a caption “Some things never change…” They knew what I meant by this caption…here I sit all…
Stepping it up…
For years I knew who Christ was but I didn’t understand what he could do for me. Then when I finally believed what he could do for me, I wouldn’t let him do it. Then I was introduced to the 12 Steps which originated from Alcoholics Anonymous. The 12 Steps served as a way for…
Seasons for a higher purpose…
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 Earlier this week I saw a post on Facebook from my daughter and it said “so long nyc.” For some reason her simple statement hit me right at the core and stirred up some emotions and the next thing…
I’m scum, sick and a sinner and Jesus wants me….WHAT?
Recently, I’ve had more than one Christian friend warn me that I may be attending an “emergent church” and that I need to be careful. If there is one thing that makes me shake my head about “religious” people it is when they get on a “righteousness” kick. I’m not judging because as I often…
Choosing to win at the thinking game…
My professional life involves much travel these days. Over the past 2 months I have experienced flight delays more than 50% of the time. Believe it or not, I am sitting at the airport going through yet another delay. I thought I would make good use of this most recent delay and talk about my…
Free will run riot…
A good friend of mine often reminds me about the importance of fearing the Lord. I always tell him “I understand the importance of fearing the Lord but I have a bigger fear of what Jay is like without the Lord.” I remember the days of my own will “running riot” over my life, and…
Disasters & Triumphs or Blessings & Lessons???
Wow, my professional life has taken on some new twists. Everyday there is a new obstacle or a new victory. I find myself often saying Psalm 46:10 to myself; “Be still and know that I am God.” I am so grateful to have a God who wants all of me and always wants the best…
