It was the eighties. I was in my early twenties and I was in love! This July, Angie and I will be celebrating twenty years of marriage. In all we have been a couple for twenty-three years. It's hard to acknowledge that time has flown by, yet the history we have made together is unforgettable. It just seems like yesterday I saw her for the first time as she walked into our campus chapel. Our introduction. Our first date (which I took her to the symphony, where I feel asleep!). Our first announcement to the world that we were a couple! Memorable anniversaries. The proposal at Newport Beach/Balboa Island. Planning the wedding! Our wedding day! Being newlyweds! Our first apartment. The days we found out we were going to bring little blessings into the world. Our girls birth. Our first house. Ministry. Mary Kay events. Vacation and so many memories! My wife has been such a blessing to me. Through my success and failures she has been the pillar that continues to lift me up to the heavens...

Happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) is the man who finds skillful and godly Wisdom, and the man who gets understanding [drawing it forth from God's Word and life's experiences]. For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, and the profit of it better than fine gold. Skillful and godly Wisdom is more precious than rubies; and nothing you can wish for is to be compared to her. Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are highways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold on her; and happy (blessed, fortunate, to be envied) is everyone who holds her fast. -Proverbs 3:13-18 (Amplified Bible) In preparation for the series, Business Through Solomon's Eyes, I came across a video that caught my attention. It was the words of the speaker that captured my mind and thought. I do not remember anything else except the following..."Great leaders are great readers." No...

For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 1 Corinthians 15:9-10 Today I would like to take a look at this passage...1 Corinthians 15:9-10. I read it this past week and was reminded of God's grace. It was one of those passages that makes you stop and take another look. When I did I was so moved by Paul's words that I could not help but thank God for his amazing grace and love for me! " For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God . But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me." Why would Paul say this? He was one of the ...

Last night I was driving home alone from running an errand. I threw on a CD and a song played that brought me into a place of worship. It had been a while since I have taken time to just be alone with God like that. As I pulled into our neighborhood, I whispered to myself..."I've missed that." In those few minutes of being in the presence of God, my cup that I had poured out throughout the week was filled! O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you,as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, when I remember you upon my bed,and meditate on you in the watches of the night; for you have been my he...
