A Leadership Principle that Donald Trump Doesn't Know

I watched the better part of a season of the Apprentice a few years ago. This year I've seen about one & a half episodes. But I've seen Trump make the same error (in my opinion) twice.

If you've seen the show, you know he calls in a few people at the end who will …

Miracles

Al Michaels: "You've got ten seconds, the countdown going on right now! Morrow, up to Silk. Five seconds left in the game. Do you believe in miracles? Yes!”

Lane preached a sermon yesterday on miracles & it was fantastic. He questioned what miracles really are …

Awesome Day

I had one of the best days today that I've had in a while. Here's how I was blessed:

Had breakfast & spent some time with God. I'm in II Timothy right now.

Took Cole to school & then met with Dave. He shared some encouraging stuff with me this morning. I'm excited …

How much would you have to hate a person...

On Sunday we showed a video clip of Penn talking about receiving the gift of a Bible. He's an avid atheist but appreciated the gift. The line that impacted me the most was something like this, "If you believed eternal life was possible, how much would you have to hate a …

We Have An Announcement

2 Announcements for the price of one:

1. We will probably be bringing home our little girl from Ethiopia in late June. And "probably" means that there is a 70% chance of it happening then. We could not be more excited. We've seen some pictures, know her name & think …

Yes & No

I was asked to do something today. It would have been a decent thing to do. It would have helped someone out. But it would have directly kept me from doing some other things.

It's always tough for me to say no to people. But it is getting a little bit easier. I'm …

Funny Date

The plan was to meet my parents halfway between Joplin & Tulsa so that the boys could spend the weekend with them. We got out of Tulsa just as a big storm was about to hit. It was right behind us the whole way (a typical storm that follows I-44). We met my parents in …

Flu vs. Serving

HPCC completed 32 out of 51 service projects all over the neighborhood yesterday for our Day of Serving. It's turned into the Week of Serving, and that's gonna stretch into the Month of Serving...And we couldn't be happier about it.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to be …

Camping with an Urban Dad

Cole and I are going camping this weekend. I can't wait for the time the two of us will spend together. But I'm not exactly like Bear (the survivor guy on Discovery Channel).

It's funny because I spent tons of time as a kid in the woods. I fished, camped-out, hiked …
