The ads that have been surrounding me lately have mostly been about what tools to get dad for Father’s Day. As a father, the sentiment is nice.

A Stink in the Air
A few days ago I went into my workshop and noticed the worst odor known to man. I knew instantly what it was and immediately felt the tears raising in my soul. I keep a freezer in the back of this workshop and, because we live on a farm and process our own meat, itContinue reading “A Stink in the Air”
Sentiment
There are few things that are irreplaceable, but the things that matter most to me are the simple gifts that were given to me by the people I love most.

After perfection
If you have ever watched a child do a job that was just a little bit out of their ability, then you might understand the frustration of perfectionists watching someone do a job improperly.

Racing… for what?
Sometimes, life is almost like running a race. Waking up, rushing around, going to the things that have to be done that day. But what are we trying to achieve ultimately? What are we racing for? what is the point of the monotony? More precisely, what is the end goal of life? There is aContinue reading “Racing… for what?”
An alter call.
You may notice the title says an alter call, and not an altar call. If you are a church going person, you might be familiar with an altar call. This is when the preacher asks the listeners to come down to the altar and make some type of commitment. Let’s define the two terms: ThisContinue reading “An alter call.”
What do you desire?
What is the thing that your desire more than anything else? When hungry, what always sounds good? when you want a drink, what do you reach for? If you were stuck on desert island, what would you long for? That is precisely where David is when he penned the words of Psalm 63. He isContinue reading “What do you desire?”
