Saddam Hussein was hanged early this morning in Iraq.  I will say that justice is served, but I am disturbed.  I am disturbed by the fact that blogsites and youtube are broadcasting his full fledged hanging.  America, Saddam Hussein deserved to be punished, but it should not be a spectacle.  The Lord gives life and [...]

On rare occasion do I recommend movies even if I thoroughly enjoy them.  This is for multiple reasons.  I just watched these movies again and had a lot of fun.  I won’t recommend the Back 2 The Future series to any of you, but I must say it has to be one of the [...]

I have just checked my e-mail roughly 10-15 times in the last 45 minutes to an hour.  Oy vey!

As of late I have been dreaming up the perfect coffee shop. I say “dreaming”, because I have yet to find it. Don’t get me wrong, there are several coffee joints I thoroughly enjoy, it’s just that each one of them has a great quality, but none of them puts it all together. [...]

I have really been struggling with my devotional time.  Not just devotional time, but walking with the Lord in general.  Mostly I think because I have been running.  From what exactly?  My own heart and it’s pain, life, God.  But It hit me last night, I have been groaning.  No words, no wonderful revelation of [...]

I won’t give a lot of opinion here, just a thought or maybe a smidgen of both. I went to an investment siminar today. It was good, it was helpful. But in the midst of my desire to be a good steward, to live well and to give, I couldn’t help but [...]

I apologize for being a little tardy with this post.  But nevertheless, the journey continues.  My Father and I havn’t had the closest of relationships over the years, but we’re working on it.  In making a long story short, his health is progressively failing him and he’s getting scared.  He’s looking for answers and he [...]

“Don’t work for your money, let your money work for you.” This was a highly used quote in the book I read today called “Rich Dad, Poor Dad.” Though I don’t agree with everything (who ever does) it had some really good tips on money stewardship. I say money stewardship and [...]

It’s 5:56 AM and I’m listening to the live IHOP feed in the prayer room in Cedar Rapids.  I just spent some time meditating on Hebrews 12:1-2 in which the Word was truly striking my heart and I felt like there was a grace to pray on my heart that hasn’t been there in a [...]
