• When You Don’t Hit Goals01/01/2026
  This was the background on my phone for the last two months of 2025: “Last [expletive] lap of the year. Run it hard. Two months. That’s all that’s left. Sixty days that’ll decide whether this year was growth or just another blur. This isn’t the time to slow down; it’s the time to lock in.Continue reading “When You Don’t Hit Goals”
• Thank You God for 202531/12/2025
  A baby became a toddler, learning how to talk, how to jump, how to ice skate, and how to snowboard. A boy was offered a spot on two separate hockey teams after a week of grueling tryouts. He sharpened his skills in multiple summer camps and he’s now playing at a whole new level. AContinue reading “Thank You God for 2025”
• The Quiet Week29/12/2025
  Between Christmas and New Years sits a beautiful 7-day period. (If you want to get technical, it just depends on what day you include in your counting. The point isn’t the math here.) During this period of time, many businesses are still open. Many people still report to work. But, many businesses also run skeletonContinue reading “The Quiet Week”
• Does It Make A Sound?28/12/2025
  If I didn’t take a picture of it and post it on social media, did it even happen? The answer is yes. My family and I do dozens of cool things every year that I don’t post on social media. I protest the idea that you have to share your whole life on social mediaContinue reading “Does It Make A Sound?”
• Failure (1)26/12/2025
  What a flat title. But that’s how failure feels, right? FLAT. “You fell flat on your face” – the common expression. I’ll share an easy failure first, so I can warm up to the topic. Perhaps it’s an outer layer. We’ll peel back the onion over the coming weeks and months. The onion is scary.Continue reading “Failure (1)”
• Indulge Me For A Moment20/12/2025
  Indulge me for a moment. I’ve been stewing on this idea for awhile, and I’m not exactly sure how it’ll pan out. Fiction writers talk about pantsers vs. plotters. Plotters have it all mapped out, outlined, and then just write according to the outline. Pantsers write by the seat of their pants. They don’t haveContinue reading “Indulge Me For A Moment”
• A Nod to Goats18/12/2025
  I saw a post saying that it’s been 28 years since Kobe and MJ faced off for their first game. MJ was a dominant force at that time. It was 1997. Remember the streak? 1991, 92, 93 NBA championships. Leaves for 1+ year to play baseball. Comes back and wins championships in 96, 97, 98.Continue reading “A Nod to Goats”
• More Talk = Less Truth16/12/2025
  You ever put your foot in your mouth? I’ve put my foot in my mouth more times than I can count, usually in conversations with my wife. Anyone who knows me, knows I try to stay quiet most of the time. In fact, I’ve had many people tell me they wish I’d talk more.  ButContinue reading “More Talk = Less Truth”
• Proverbs 10:4-515/12/2025
  4: Lazy hands make for poverty,
but diligent hands bring wealth. 5: He who gathers crops in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son. When you live in an agrarian society, these Proverbs are literally true. You don’t work; you don’t eat. You don’t work; you have nothing.Continue reading “Proverbs 10:4-5”
