Stopping The Disease

Posted on March 15, 2020 by John

“Do not listen to those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious.”  So observed Og Mandino, a best-selling author whose most famous book was The Greatest Salesman in the World. Inspired by the Bible, Mandino’s writings wove together Scriptural truth, common wisdom and an emphasis on seeing the positive elements of life and sold over […]

When Do I Get Out of Here?

Posted on October 2, 2019 by John

As you may know, one of our children has some special needs. The boy has especially struggled since the onset of adolescence and all of the hormones and social pressures and (his own) expectations about how life should go. Being 15 is hard enough, but having emotional deficits and internal challenges makes it even more […]

Special Needs Child? Share Your Experiences (Part 1)

Posted on September 28, 2019 by John

I’ve shared in some detail the challenges we’ve faced over the years raising a special needs child – and the joys, as well. It is a roller coaster at times, and we’ve tried to maintain a reliance on God for all of it. We’ve also recognized the unique ways God has wired our son and […]

The Forgiving Father

Posted on September 8, 2019 by John

In the parable we commonly call “The Prodigal Son,” which I prefer to title, “The Forgiving Father,” Jesus was making one of the greatest points in all of Scripture about who God REALLY is, and what His heart is toward “sinners” is. The occasion for this story, and the two preceding it, was a harsh […]

God Is In The Matter

Posted on September 3, 2019 by John

REQUEST: Before you read any further would you please take a minute and consider a donation to a GoFundMe campaign started by a family friend on behalf of a pretty significant need we’re experiencing? Click here for details, thanks.  And with that, now on to the post… About prayer and to whom we pray. I’ve been […]

Waiting for Something

Posted on August 19, 2019 by John

We’re all waiting for something.  I saw a STAT that Americans spend an estimated 37 billion hours waiting in line each year. Few things lead to more frustration as lengthy wait times — many of us even struggle to wait for a sluggish web browser to load. C’mon already!  37 billion hours represents a lot of sitting […]

Marathon Support

Posted on August 11, 2019August 11, 2019 by John

I’ve run a few marathons. Okay, only a couple, although I DID run up Pikes Peak once, which was like a marathon in how long it took, even though it was only half as long. Regardless of how many, I HAVE finished the races I started. I did not give up! Even though I had […]

A Little Help From My Friends

Posted on August 10, 2019 by John

Just like one of my favorite Beatles songs, I’m getting by with a little help from my friends (although I do not get high with their help, despite living in Colorado!). While that has always been true, while my community has always been strong and supportive, there’s a reason it is especially so right now. […]

Fatherhood Thought, LeBron James

Posted on March 18, 2018 by John

My role as a dad has never been more rewarding. This past week I had quite a few “dad” moments. There were school meetings, interactions with coaches and other adults who have some influence in my kids’ lives, a coffee date with some of my girls, a mountain drive with one of the boys, some […]
