Taking It to Work: Where do you get your peace? What do you hunger for? I woke up the other morning and my favorite, safe-bet, low-risk stock completely tanked, 22% in one day. It reported underperformance and got hit with a lawsuit on the same day. I’m not going to lie; it shook me. In our culture, and most cultures Read more
Taking It to Work: Talking about our faith at work can be very intimidating, especially talking with those who are not yet Christians. I say not yet, because it is very likely that some of those non-believers are being drawn to the Father, and will at some later time answer His call. The thing to remember is ‘sometimes’. He wants Read more
Taking It to Work: Frustration always brings about the best in us doesn’t it? When things go wrong, when mistakes are repeated, when plans fail, this is when we are at our best, right?

Taking It to Work: Could you imagine what would happen if some of the key players in the government were to be saved and started following the Holy Spirit’s lead, in voting, making policy, and truly living out their faith at those high positions? Just a half dozen or so in Congress, a few more in the Supreme Court, state Read more
Taking It to Work: I once played a game where I was blindfolded and had to be led around like I was blind. It is hard to imagine that some have to live that way – no light, just total darkness all the time. I often think about if I had been born blind, and never saw an image of Read more
Taking It to Work: Can fear and true faith exist together? That sounds like a loaded question doesn’t it? If we say we don’t fear, we know that’s not true, but does admitting we have fear show our faith in God is not true, or strong, or real?

Taking It to Work: Are you a good listener, or do you think you are a good listener? I have to admit, when I really pay attention to my listening skills, I’m really not very good, but I also don’t think of it as a spiritual issue. I say to myself, “I just think a lot,” and sometimes that thinking Read more
Taking it to Work: What do you want to be when you grow up? That has got to be one of the most common questions posed in the early years of life. When my boys were little they loved when the garbage truck would come each week. Not so much to see the truck, but to see the man of Read more
