Start Digging!

If you knew you had a treasure, worth enough to radically change every facet your life, buried deep in your front yard what would you do? Would you say: I just don’t have time right to do all that digging right now. It’s going to take way to much time and the work is going to […]

Be Ready!

Out of my mind… If you had told me 6 years ago, heck even 1 year ago I’d be applying for American Ninja Warrior I would have told you, “you are out of your mind!”  But events HAVE lead us to this point. The video is done (looking forward to sharing the video soon) and the application submitted! Now it’s in the […]

Joy Awaits…

The question the Father asks that cuts directly to the heart of finding JOY is: “Do you trust Me?” The doctor delivers the news that your husband, wife, or child has cancer… Do you trust Me? Things at work have slowed down and they will have to let you go… Do you trust Me? My spouse has […]

Perpective

When you are oriented, standing further away from a large object, like say, a mountain or the moon, it seems small. As you move toward the object it “grows” bigger and bigger.

Be Still and Hold

  There are times God puts us in a mandatory “time out” for a bit. It was a normal Saturday with tasks laid out before us. The day before I had picked up a load of mulch to finish the Ninja Course play area to make the it safer in the event of a fall…  like a fall would ever […]

Lessons from Obstacle Training

  The Warped Wall – So I have built “obstacles” in my backyard for my kids to play on…  ok, who am I kidding?  I built it so I can play too, I am still a kid at heart, even though I was born in 1967.  Anyway… of all the obstacles we have built, the toughest yet is the 14’ […]

Not the running type, but always a runner

I am not the running type. I was never a college or high school athlete. I never even played a sport in elementary school. Well, I played softball a couple of years, AND I cheered…before cheerleading was considered a sport. In high school we did some pretty cool stunts, but if you ask my sister…still […]

Hard Work or Is It?

[metaslider id=191] A lot of people have commented on all the hard work I have done to lose weight.
