Technology is a funny thing. If you think about it, technology doesn’t necessarily come up with brand-new never-before-imagined human experiences. Technology allows a human experience to discover a new mechanism for that experience. For example, people have always wanted to pass messages to one another.

A couple of weeks ago, my family and I had the privilege of hiking in Colorado's Rocky Mountains. With each hike I was blown away by the stunning views and sweeping vistas of the mountains, lakes, and the all-around beauty of the environment that surrounded us. When I experience something like this, I can’t help but to immediately think about God...

How is your level of patience? On a scale from 1 to 10 how would you rate yourself? How would others? For the first half of my life, I would have described myself as a patient person. I didn’t blow up easily or become angry quickly. I was a pretty calm guy. That is, until we had children. When my wife and I had our second son, there was a part of me who emerged that I had never known before...

When people think of you what is the first thing they think about? Scary question if you consider it. When someone considers your name what are the qualities about you that first come to mind? I ponder this regularly when I meet with couples who are preparing to be married. One question I ask every couple is this: What one character trait do you most love and admire about your fiancé? In reply, I’ve heard...

When I was a kid and I heard my mom yell my name with either a serious or angry tone… I knew there was trouble brewing. (Though, to be honest, usually it was my brother’s name… but I digress). However, when I heard my mom yell my name twice in quick succession,

Until I was about 40 years old, I called God, God. That’s not all that unusual. After all, that is what most of us learned to call him. It’s the name we use when we talk about him and to him. Several years ago, however, I learned a new posture toward God. I more often, now, call him Father or Dad.
