Have you ever been skiing? I remember teaching each of my 4 sons how to ski. Just getting them all dressed, bundled up, and in their ski boots was enough of a workout for an entire day, but then we actually had to get on the mountain. I’m not sure they could put their arms […]
Happy New Year! I hope that as you are looking out over the next 365 days, your heart is full of faithful anticipation for wonderful things to come. During this time each year, I’m reminded of the goodness of our God – to give us seasons, patterns, and cycles to renew our mind, bodies, and […]

Books, articles, counselors and podcasts are informative, but there’s one aspect in career planning that tends to be ignored. When making a career choice you must consider how a specific job will fit. We each […]
My pastor, Ronnie Batchelor, describes this as the time of year when “…we all experience the familiar unnerving sense that we’re approaching the brink – something akin to the clack-clack-clack-clack ascent of the rollercoaster when couples instinctively grasp each other’s hands and exchange nervous looks that communicate, ‘Here we go!’ We just hang on and […]
When you’re meeting a new person or group of people, what are some of the most common initial questions you ask? “What do you do?” “Where do you live?” Translated, these questions really mean: Do you have a job? How good is your job? How much does it pay? How high up are you in […]
Dear Chuck, During this time of year, I want to be more generous. I’ll receive a Christmas bonus from my company and I feel the Holy Spirit prompting me to give it away.
