At wedding receptions, people make toasts to the newlyweds. Most of those toasts include wishing the couple a lifetime of happiness. That’s not realistic. I’m not being a downer here, but if you’re pursuing a life that’s happy all the time, you will not find it. Happiness is moment by moment. We live in a broken world, and that brokenness includes some dark times. Seek fulfillment over happiness. Darkness will come, but light is on the way…

Failure…
Failure is a matter of perspective. Elon Musk, in his Space-X venture, “blows a lot of stuff up,” to learn what doesn’t work. Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times when looking for a long-burning filament. Failure is, quite simply, learning…
Columbine High School…
“I have this theory that if one person goes out of their way to show compassion, it will start a chain reaction of the same. You never know how far a little kindness will go.” – Rachel Joy Scott
Today is the 22nd anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre. Rachel was the first child killed that day. Yet, even with all the darkness of that day, it couldn’t stop light from emerging. Rachel’s Challenge was born, based upon the writings and influence of Rachel Scott. She continues to start chain reactions of kindness and compassion all across the world. Over 30 million people have experienced Rachel’s story. But the work continues…
Rest In Peace, Rachel. Your life mattered…

Sing!
Henry David Thoreau wrote, “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation, and die with their song still in them.” Pursue your destiny. Unlock yourself from self-imposed prisons and make a difference…
Uniquely You…
Stop trying to “fit in” with the crowd or living by the expectations of others. God created each of us as one-of-a-kind individuals with unique gifts and personalities. Fitting in will only leave you frustrated. You will miss your destiny…
Flounder…
Flounder is a fish, but it also means to struggle. I believe many people struggle through life, not knowing their true purpose. Frustration sets in, and some give up. I encourage you to keep going, no matter how hard life gets. Dawn is coming…
Help!
Why is it so hard to ask for help? Arrogance and pride keep us from doing so. When little children ask for help we are quick to respond. The children have no ego invested, they simply want to accomplish something. Let’s let go of our false pride and collaborate when necessary…
Comparison…
Comparison robs you of so much. See yourself the way God sees you. You are exactly who you are supposed to be…
