Daily Deliberation: 23 June 2020
Have you ever noticed how much you plan to do tomorrow? I know for me, tomorrow is the day I am going to work out harder. Tomorrow I am going to read more. Tomorrow I will do a cool project with the kids. Tomorrow I will <insert yours here>. I think if we were honest…

Daily Deliberation: 22 June 2020
The other day I just sat on the couch before bed and was surfing Facebook. How much time passed? I don’t know, but it was at least 30 minutes. I saw some pics of my friends kids and some things my nieces and nephews are up to these days; however, most of it was mindless.…

Daily Deliberation: Happy Father’s Day!
Over the years I have been blessed with many amazing opportunities and blessings; however, none come close to being a father. These last few months of being home with my kiddos has only cemented this idea within me. Seeing the impact we can have on who they become and what they learn is a super…

Think about if we took our parents advice and ate an apple a day or learned something new everyday. Imagine the benefits of that. Would it make us the smartest or healthiest person on the planet? Probably not, but we will certainly not be worse off. Now, what if we drank three sodas and watched…

In many ways college was similar. It wasn’t until after I finished that I discovered a different view on education. Each time we learn…

He was teaching us that sometimes the things blocking our paths represent challenges for us to…

Daily Deliberation: 16 June 2020
My whole perspective on life changed when I stopped caring about what others thought about me and what others were doing and I looked inwardly. I was so concerned if others would think I was stupid or with the fear of falling on my face in front of them. It was crippling. I hit a…

Daily Deliberation: 15 June 2020
I remember playing in the woods a lot as a kid. Sometimes we would find a path that was cleared taking us from one area to the next. Clearly, someone had come before me and did the work to take us where they thought we should go. Occasionally, we just accepted this and left the…

Daily Deliberation: 14 June 2020
Integrity First. It has never been harder to be the person we were raised to be. All of the social pressures and flip-flopping politicians make it easier to align with public opinion and blend in with the crowd. Although, this is not new; it is broadcast on a larger stage when we do not align.…
