Changes & Constants

Seasons change. God doesn’t. “The only constant in life is change.” Heraclitus Ecclesiastes 3:1 “For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:” Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Who really likes change? A pastor friend of mine has often said, “The only one whoContinue reading “Changes & Constants”

Life Goes On

I was on vacation for the first half of July, during which we celebrated my younger granddaughter’s first birthday! Around the same time, I received an email from my sister-in-law letting me know that my brother had passed away. It was a study in extremes—grief and celebration, sorrow and joy. I’ve prayed for my brotherContinue reading “Life Goes On”

One Little Thing

June 28, 2025 On Wednesday the 25th, I got a popup saying my graphics card driver had an update. I installed it without thinking much about it. Big mistake. I use Davinci Resolve to create videos, and after the update, it crashed constantly. I’d get a little work done, then boom—Resolve would crash. I’d restartContinue reading “One Little Thing”

Summertime, Summertime, Sum, Sum, Summertime

The longest day of the year has come and gone—summer is officially here! With it come some of my greatest blessings: our eldest granddaughter just turned four, just two days after the solstice, and next month our second granddaughter will celebrate her very first birthday. Time truly flies. Even with the joyful chaos summer brings,Continue reading “Summertime, Summertime, Sum, Sum, Summertime”

Almost Summer!

Hi friends, It’s been a full and blessed season for me. Life has been busy in the best ways—beautiful, healthy grandchildren, a wonderful wife, and amazing kids. I honestly can’t ask for more. Sometimes, I feel overwhelmed by God’s goodness, even wondering, “Why me?” I know I’ve done nothing to earn such blessings, and yet,Continue reading “Almost Summer!”

Three More

I’m excited to introduce two brand-new videos—and one refreshed favorite. The first two are designed to help you create a welcoming, meaningful atmosphere from the very first moments of your service. The first of the four is titled “You’re Welcome Here,” and it sets the tone for everything that follows. When guests walk into yourContinue reading “Three More”

He Has Risen!!

Hi everyone! I missed posting on Friday—Good Friday kept me pretty busy—but for good reason. I was working on a new video for our Easter Sunday service. It was my first time creating both the video and the voiceover myself, and honestly, it turned out better than I expected! I even received some kind andContinue reading “He Has Risen!!”

What is Happening?

March 7, 2025 Hello all; I haven’t written for a very long time – life has a habit of getting in the way. This time of year, I usually think of working on my website, trying to publish my novel. I have had multiple obstacles on that front, and perhaps God is looking to getContinue reading “What is Happening?”

The 80/15 Principle

Many of you may be thinking that I’m referring to the book by the name, “The 80/20 Principle.” Possibly you are thinking of the Pareto Rule that asserts that 80% of outcomes (or outputs) result from 20% of all causes (or inputs) for any given event — whatever that means. More likely you believe thatContinue reading “The 80/15 Principle”
