Focus

While riding shotgun as my wife Jillian drove along the coast of Lake Huron, I was mesmerized by the massive size of the body of water.

Jesus Rx

Day to Day

.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

When my view of the world gets a little fuzzy, I know the only prescription is more Jesus.

A Good Story

Belief

.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I love a good story. Especially one where the lead character steps up and does something courageous that makes a difference in the lives of others.
