Top 3 of 2014
Even though 2014 was a bit of a down year for "Rak Chazak", it doesn't mean that I am giving up on this blog. I love the opportunity to share what the Lord has taught me, and will continue to teach me in the years to come. One thing is for sure, 2014 has been … Continue reading Top 3 of 2014
The Great Danger
"The great danger…lies precisely in his constant contact with divine things." ~ Benjamin B. Warfield (1911) When asked, "Give me a few things that when you first saw them, you were in awe?" A very common answer that comes up time and time again, the Grand Canyon. What is it about this monstrosity of a … Continue reading The Great Danger
5 minutes inside eternity

What is it that motivates you to sacrifice day in and day … Continue reading Marriage on Purpose (part 1)

I could easily split up each of these events (and yes, each term applies to a separate event) and rattle off the fun I've had dealing with … Continue reading Open up your heart and speak

(My thoughts and ramblings after reading an article posted in The Atlantic on March 19, 2014 entitled, "The Overprotected Kid" by Hanna Rosin) Like most parents my age, I have memories of childhood so different from the way my children are growing up that sometimes I think I might be making them up, or at … Continue reading When the street lights come on
Be a man!
“What is the answer to the ultimate question of our need to belong, to be loved…to be part of something enormous and greater than ourselves?” (quote from upcoming movie Irreplaceable) This is a great question that plagues just about every single person in the world. Each and every one of us has this desire embedded in … Continue reading Be a man!
