I start each morning in my “big butt prayer chair” talking to God. I know He hears me. He has answered many of my prayers in mighty ways and has thankfully denied countless others.

But seriously, who likes looking (and feeling) like an idiot? I met my friend, Gina, for lunch today at this huge restaurant. The place was teeming with people, mostly dressed in business… Read More
Over the MLK holiday weekend, millions of us helped break the box office records by pouring into theaters to see “American Sniper”. It was an amazing movie! It was brutal. It was hard to watch at times. But more than that, it was inspiring. For Chris Kyle, standing firm for what he believed in meant giving up the comforts of… Read More
