The End of an Era

This past Christmas, Piper learned what it means to have money. She got some cash for Christmas presents and immediately said, “CAN WE GO TO THE TOY SHOP!” First of all, hearing a three-year-old say “toy shop,” is about the cutest thing ever. Second, the closest thing to a “toy shop” she’s ever been in is…

Wash Your Face!

I had one of the coolest experiences I can remember with my youngest, daughter today. I picked her and her sister up from school and as we were driving home, she just starts saying her memory verse. She started, “Jeremiah 29:11…” I was expecting it to be some shortened kids version of the verse. I…

So Much More

In my recent post, “Vision Quests and Burning Bushes,” we discussed having a vision and purpose for our lives, our families, and our careers.

Kingdom Men

I recently had the opportunity at a Men’s Breakfast here at Front Range. It was an awesome opportunity for guys to gather, eat some french toast, and be encouraged to be men after God. I really struggled to figure out what to talk about until I found a quote by a pastor named Tony Evans.…

Sometimes, I’m “That Guy.”

I worked at Starbucks for almost 5 years. Over that time I managed to work my way up from barista to eventually becoming a store manager. I’m sure many can relate when I say, I loved that job… on most days. As with any job, love it or hate it, there are difficult days, difficult people,…
