There is no longer a "baby" in the house. Perhaps some would consider our youngest a baby, but when your youngest child is 5, it no longer feels like a baby is in the house. Beyond that, our oldest just turned 11. I do not quite understand how it is possible, as her mother and … Continue reading For Such a Time as This

2023 Daily Journal (FREE)
daily-journal-2023Download It is almost that time when we yield to the dawning of a new calendar year. Many of us will make resolutions, commitments, and goals to end the year as a better version of ourselves. Yet, if we fail to do things differently, then we will end up in the same positions we find … Continue reading 2023 Daily Journal (FREE)
Words Matter
I stand in front of people and talk. A lot. I have been the young adult pastor for almost 10 years now (!!!) and one thing, of many, I wish I knew back then was how much words matter. It would be foolish to believe the old saying "sticks and stones will break my bones … Continue reading Words Matter
Creating, Community, and Curses
"Rhett's Tune" One of my catalysts for writing more often is the desire to "create". In a book, I recently read (Redeeming Your Time) the author challenges Christ-followers to mirror their creator by creating. My family read a children's book/poem titled "The Creator in You" by Jordan Raynor and that desire to create was fed … Continue reading Creating, Community, and Curses
If I Could Meet a Character from Any Movie/Show…
There is something about the discipline of writing that is rather beneficial for a guy like me. The use of language is not always something I work on crafting and refining even though I speak in front of groups each and every week. I am not sure that it is a sign of laziness although, … Continue reading If I Could Meet a Character from Any Movie/Show…
You Must be Robin’s Son
I remember hearing that statement, “you must be Robin’s son”, a lot as I was growing up. It wasn’t that it offended me but at the same time I really wanted to be known for what I was doing or had done. You know, build a name for myself or whatever that really means. As … Continue reading You Must be Robin’s Son
Being a “Good” Dad
Charity and I had the privilege of attending a wedding of some of our young adults from Westside this past weekend and on the way home, we created a game. I am certain no one in history has done this. We tried to guess the "Rotten Tomatoes" score of certain movies. Listen kids life gets … Continue reading Being a “Good” Dad
Writing a Story Worth Sharing
Live with the end in mind my friends because it is always closer than it appears. Live life for the good of others and the glory of our God. You are writing a unique story whether you care to or not. Be resolved to make it a story worth sharing when you are simply a story to share.
Redeem the Suffering…COVID-19 the Teacher
Working exclusively from home is a whole new world for most of us. Where there was once separation between work and home now leaves awkward Zoom calls with work while trying to politely tell your child to shut it. Many of us have gained new respect for our child's teacher, homeschool parents, and stay at … Continue reading Redeem the Suffering…COVID-19 the Teacher
The Greatest Game
I remember the first time I fell in love. Before Kelly Kapowski, Power Rangers, or Pokémon, I was introduced to the game of baseball. I have never known a time in my life where the game of baseball wasn't my favorite sport. Yes, football, basketball, and soccer are enjoyable but for me there is something … Continue reading The Greatest Game
