Today, we begin a four-part series focusing on what to do in four specific decades: 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s. (No offense to those 60 and beyond. I just haven’t gotten there yet!) Before you discard the decades you’re not currently in, think of someone who is and forward this email to them. One of…

This past Sunday marked 10 years since my Dad passed away. That’s 3,650 days without him. I’ve missed him each and every one. On Day 3,650 without him, this past Sunday, I was intrigued to notice which memory surfaced in my mind. I’m old enough to know to pay attention to memories when they surface…

  I was never truly ready. In fact, if I had waited until I was ready I never would have become a parent, written my first book, become a pastor, and launched my own business. In each case, I was in over my head. Honestly, I still am. It’s why I’ve often returned to this…

  If you’ve ever felt like you’re behind… If you’ve ever felt like people are ahead of you… If you’ve ever felt like you should be further along in life than you are, this week’s email is for you. Here’s the bottom line: You aren’t behind. You are where you are. You can’t start from…

I’ve never really thought of myself as a dog-person but for the past 12 years I’ve definitely been an Ellie-person. Ellie was our 12-year-old dog. She passed away last week. 12 years ago, when Wendy suggested we get a dog for the family, I quickly disagreed. She presented her case. I presented mine. So… we…

  Happy New Year everyone! Like many of you, I try to find a word or phrase to be the theme of the year. As some of you know, I also try to pick one of the characteristics of the fruit of the Spirit which is referenced in the New Testament: Love, joy, peace, patience,…
