Knees shaking…sweating like a faucet…heart pounding…this is just some of the symptoms of the #1 fear among most people. It is the fear of speaking in front of others; a.k.a. public speaking.
I’m not sure why so many people find themselves immediately crippled with fear when confronted with the smallest of notions that they will be required to make a public speech; however, I do know how they feel, because I was one of them.
It’s amazing how life can pile on the problems. One just isn’t enough. That was my day yesterday, but you know what? In the words of the most electrifying man in sports entertainment, The Rock, BRING IT. I’m also reminded that the Word of God clearly states many, many times that I can’t be defeated. [...]
Definitely not as easy as the picture above. Of course, I’ll take success. The only way I’ve found to cope with the gravity of a tough choice is to rely on God (hmm…that seems to be a pattern in our life together). Sure, a decision will be made, but it is God who makes the [...]

I’m probably going to take a lot of heat for this, but here goes. I hate to be a buzzkill, but this is exactly what happened this weekend on Facebook. People were changing their profile pics to an image of a cartoon from their childhood. It was great for a laugh and maybe a bit [...]

This commercial is full of awesomeness. Sure, this is a liquor commercial, but you’ve got to admit. You laughed the first time you saw it. Okay. Forget the liquor. Consider the message behind the commercial. John Jameson fought back against the weather, the sea, and the octopus to deliver his beloved barrel. It was his [...]
It’s funny because its true! Especially when it comes to deciding what to eat. That’s the hardest decision ever. I wonder if this will work to help decide what someone wants to do with their life?
James 4:14, “Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow.” I hate that I can’t see into the future. I’d love that superpower. Alas, I can only wish. That’s what makes tomorrow scary. We don’t know what’s going to happen. All we can do is prepare and hope for the best. No wait! [...]
