I know this comes a little late in the game, but I’m working on another book, so blogging is on the back-burner a bit, but recent events in Haiti and how people around the world have responded had me thinking about compassion the other day. There’s a verse in the parable of the Good Samaritan [...]
Do you remember your God Stories? These are the times that God acted in your life, and there’s no doubt that it was Him.
We need to remember our God Stories to give ourselves encouragement and strengthen our faith, even in the face of fear. God Stories remind us that God will move in our lives [...]
PHILIPPIANS 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
This verse is especially encouraging to the Christian ADDer who struggles with prayer and quiet time. We find it a challenge to believe that we’re growing in our faith. A lot of what we’re taught [...]
In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. – Philippians 1:3–6 (NIV)

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. – Romans 12:2
I will never live in Florida. Don’t get me wrong – I’ve got nothing against [...]
So you’re probably wondering, what happened to Part 5…eh, I got distracted. So no part five, just part six where you get to see me fight and win the belt! That training really paid off as I didn’t have to fight very long at all before the judges called the fight. But even [...]
Okay! So here I am in Kansas City!! I’ve officially checked in for the competition and it turns out that this year they have three times the number of competitors in the Masters division than they expected. I think that means, I have myself a fight! I’ll find out for sure tomorrow morning at 6am. [...]
Part three of my Journey to the Tourney! Watch me get get pummeled by a guy whose arms are as thick as my thighs! Which brings us all back to the question of who in their right mind would take up boxing anyway? It’s a bitter sweet thing, this sport. And it’s hard to explain [...]
Here’s part two of my Journey to the Tourney. Hopefully you can see that my speed and strength of the punch has improved. I’m still completely beat at the end of the workout though. It’s amazing how long a 3 minute round is when you have to keep punching and slipping. Seriously! I used to [...]
Some of you might know that I took up boxing about a year ago, when I could no longer play basketball or run due to injuries. It all started out as a way to stay in shape, but evolved into something so much more as I am currently training for an Amateur Championship that takes [...]
