The Compass
Sometimes I wish I had a map in life. Something that told me exactly which decisions to make and which direction to take. Should I take this job or that one? Should I marry this person or that person? Should I go to this college or that one? What career path should I choose? Which

The Easy Swing
I have been getting more into golf this year, and one of the biggest lessons I have been learning is to let the club do the work. When I first started playing, I swung as hard as I possibly could every time. The result was almost always the same. The ball would shoot off into

The Angel
Don’t ask me why, but the other night, when my wife was out hanging with her friend, I was watching the 1994 classic, Angel’s in the Outfield. Even though this movie came out 3 years before I was born and it’s technically a kids movie, there is still a great lesson to be learned about

The Mustard Seed
It’s the little things in life that make the biggest difference. A few extra seconds tightening a bolt can keep a machine from breaking. A kind word can change someone’s whole day.

The Kaleidoscope
Have you ever looked through a kaleidoscope? You turn it just a little bit, and everything shifts. It is the same pieces inside, but the pattern changes completely.

The Little Chapel That Stood
September 11, 2001, started like any other morning in New York City, but then everything changed. The first plane hit the North Tower at 8:46 a.m. Seventeen minutes later, the second plane hit the South Tower. Smoke and ash quickly filled the streets as the buildings came crashing down. However, just one block away from

The Hero
Every story has a hero. From movies to books to video games, the spotlight always lands on the one who saves the day. Naturally, we want to put ourselves in that role in life. But when we try, we quickly realize we don’t have what it takes. We fall short. We make mistakes. The Bible

The Firework
I’ve never been a big fan of firework shows. I mean, once you have seen one, you have pretty much seen them all. However, one night I noticed something about them that I hadn’t thought about before. I noticed that the smaller fireworks would shoot up fast and pop almost instantly. But the bigger ones

The Architect
Every building starts with a plan. Nobody pours concrete or stacks bricks at random and hopes that it miraculously turns into a home. No, it requires months, and sometimes even years, of planning ahead of time. Every small detail on the blueprint has a purpose, and it is the architect’s job to make sure everything
