Taking It to Work: “Where did the time go?” How often have you heard that expression? Whether we are in amazement that the year is half over already, or that our workday whipped by in a blink, it seems that time can easily get away from us. The busyness of life can do that to us. We can engage so Read more
Taking It to Work: Some of you out there are carrying a very heavy load. We wonder sometimes how this could be part of God’s plan, but it is. Jesus said to us clearly that in this world we could expect trouble, and the more ungodly the world gets, I think we can expect that there will be more to Read more
Taking It to Work: “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.” That may be a popular saying, but just because something is popular, or even accepted by most, it does not make it truth, and biblically, and experientially, that saying is far from true. In fact, I would risk to say that most of Read more
Taking It to Work: Is God fair? I just watched a movie on the life of Princess Diana. It gave me a surprising glimpse into the life of royalty. Although, not really what the movie was about, one of the realities that hit me is the incredible chasm that can exist between two infants born on the same day, one Read more
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? Well, maybe for you, but not for me. In fact, frustration likely brings out the side of us that we hate the most. If we are 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: Does God allow trials in our life? Well, experientially and biblically, we know the answer is, “Yes”. We have all had them, and in the bible we see many examples, great and small, of trials Jesus took his disciples through, as He was growing them into the men He wanted them to be. One of my Read more
Taking It to Work: How many notifications do you get a day? Instagram, Facebook, email, Signal, Snapchat? The list goes on and on, and is ever growing. Never before, in the history of mankind, have we had the ability to communicate at this speed and at this level. It’s incredible when you stop and think of it. In a blink Read more
