Do you ever feel like the Least Likely? But what if God chose you? He did. You have a story to tell. This is my God Story. 1-Corinthians 1:27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong. We…
God’s not done with your story. God’s not done with mine either. Even though I won the World Championship of Public Speaking back in 2001, I have more to do for God’s plan. He set me on a new path. I felt like the Least Likely, Again. This story is still being written. How…
Consider this: Ever wish you were the boss? You get to make all of the decisions. Let’s say you were boss and you were on a mission. You come up with this brilliant idea for a business. It’s so good you get on Shark Tank. If you aren’t familiar with the show it is where…
The Bible, You and Me I read it differently this time. Sometimes we see what we want to see. Sometimes we see what we need to see when we are ready. Often, in the past, I read Bible passages with the thought of those characters as great and meek. Those people. The courageous heroes, the…

I listen at night and first thing in the AM. I also read them out loud. Hope it helps you. (Reminder, this is just a journal of my mistakes, experiences, and thoughts along with my journey to having a closer relationship with God. I do not claim to be an authority on the subject. If…
I was watching a classic Christian movie this past weekend, God’s Not Dead. Though I had seen it before, I watched it with fresh eyes. I really got into it and got choked up a few times, but hey, I’m a sap, and I own it. One idea which was brought up and sat with…
I struggled with this for months. I was raised Roman Catholic and was baptized as a child with my mom, dad, and godfather. It is part of a tradition in that religion. My life changed in 2014 when I looked at having a closer relationship with God. I found a new family at my…
It was just last weekend. A discussion in my men’s group came up about grace. I thought I understood it, at least partially. I’m still grasping at that one to fully understand it. The discussion lead to a shocker to me. I totally misunderstood. I had not realized that once you say, “Yes” to Jesus,…
That’s not a typo! It’s not my dyslexia kicking in. In marriage vows, we hear the expression “for better or worse.” For me, “worse before better” has a different meaning altogether. My favorite Christian book title is I Became a Christian and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt by Vince Antonucci. The title cracks me…
