The Tin Man and His Heart

I am relistening to one of my all time favorite books on my iPod as I run…Waking the Dead by John Eldridge. Have you read it? This book followed another classic by Eldridge called Wild at Heart. I highly recommend both books if you are looking to really reconnect with your life, to get out [...]

Heart Matters

Do you ever have a topic or an idea that just seems to surround you all at once? That has happened to me recently on the subject of HEART.

Rivers of Encouragement

“A river reaches places which its source never knows.”   That, is a powerful statement from Oswald Chambers’ classic book “My Utmost For His Highest”.

Old School Integrity

I went to a funeral today. A parade of people stepped up to the microphone and painted a beautiful picture of a man that did it right. His story sounded almost fictional. A high school student council president, National Honor Society member, all-State and all-American in football. A three-year letterman for the Arkansas Razorbacks football [...]
