I Like Big Buts
"Buts" are familiar. They allow us to stay in our places of unhappiness . . . and they rob us of the life we were created to live.
Have you ever thought, "I want to be happy, but . . ."
"I want to be happy but my children are going down a ...
Snarky Sarcasm
Sarcasm is one of my love languages.
I'd love to say it stems from my wittiness, but the truth is, there is much more to it than that.
There are times that I use sarcasm just as a means of communication. Rarely WHEN I use it, am I consciously ...
They will ultimately rub off on you!
Someone once sat in my office explaining that they just didn't think they could continue being friends with someone. "They are such an Eeyore." When they said that, I knew exactly what they meant.
Eeyore is a character in "Winnie the ...
Are you ok with who you woke up with?
. . . and eventually you look into the mirror.
There.
That is who you woke up with.
No - not the person beside you in bed (hopefully you DO know and are ok with waking up with him/her!) 🙂
The person I'm referring to is the person in the ...
Living with No Regrets!
My later years with my father were tenuous at best.
He fell prey to senior adult "scams" and was convinced he'd won the "Sweepstakes" and a check for multiple millions of dollars was coming his way. He believed if he gave them thousands of ...
What if we realize . . .
On the last night of our first trip to Uganda 10 years ago we were supposed to walk from the hotel where we were staying to Pastor Geoffrey's house for a final meal together.
It wasn't a far walk at all, but the problem was it was growing dark ...
“You are going to wear those?”
We were going to do a short hike up to Linville Falls.
After we parked and began walking to the trail my friend asked, "You are really going to wear flip flops? Didn't you bring tennis shoes?"
Yes, I had tennis shoes. But I feel like they hold ...
Stay in Your Lane
"Stay in your lane" is a pretty popular saying now. It's in the media, we use it in our conversations . . . sometimes in jest, but there actually is some wisdom to that concept.
Have you ever ridden with someone and they keep veering off the ...
Don’t Live Like a Pinball Machine
A wise mentor once taught me that if we aren't careful, we will live our lives like the ball in a pinball machine. We will just go from "hit to hit" without any intentionality. Pretty soon, before we know it, we will be exhausted with our lives ...
The Last Trip
When we were in Uganda the summer of 2018 as people asked about future trips, I found myself repeating, "Yes, West will continue our relationship with Acres of Hope. For me personally, however, this is my last trip."
Having been six times, I ...
What’s the worst that can happen with rejection?
Yesterday's devotion was about a young "Make a wish" family and how I had to work through my courage to tell them that I had been praying for them.
I always love it when you write me with insights, questions, and feedback to the ...
The “gut” said “yes,” the brain said “no.”
The worship production team and I are attending a conference in Orlando to learn how to better utilize the technology we have available and to also see where the "future" of church media is headed.
Brad, Josh, and I took a little time on ...
