I’ve noticed a difference in the American heart this year. I was even talking to my friend about it last night. It seems to me that people are buying less, and are focussing on the more important things this year. I’ve heard many people say, “We’re not doing much, just thankful to have a job”....

Seventy Four Hours.
Our church just finished doing something incredible. It’s the first time I’ve ever heard of a church doing this, and at it’s conclusion, I think it’s something every church should consider. We read through the whole Bible in 74 hours. Non-stop. They put up a sign up sheet with 15 minute time slots starting on...
Leadership & Misc
So, I’ve continued my study of leadership. I’ve done a little bit of reading on Martin Luther King Jr and Hitler and I’ll soon be checking out people such as Mother Theresa and Abraham Lincoln. As you can see, I’m trying to get a wide range of people. I guess my goal at this point...
Leadership, It's Not a One Man Show – Part 1
I’ve started a new study on leadership, except I’ve started this study different than have in the past. Because normally I would look up all the verses in the Bible on a particular topic and then read those passages until something really popped. This time I’ve decided to change things up a bit. I will...
"I Will Hold Your Hand"
Thus says God the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk on it: ’I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand; I will...
Great News.
After an interesting turn of events yesterday, I was informed that I got the job at Starbucks. I will start tomorrow. Here’s how it went down: Yesterday morning I woke up at 8:00 and decided I wanted some pancakes. However, I did not have the necessary ingredients, so I decided to ride my bike to...
One down…
Well, I officially have a place to lay my head at night. God provided a spacey, cheap apartment, conveniently located close to the big downtown Ocala. The first night started off exactly how I would’ve wanted it to. After going to singles, and then the dollar store for essentials, and then Publix for the essentials...
Have You Lost Heart?
I was encouraged by God Himself today. I was praying this morning, asking Him where I should read. It seems recently I’ve heard numerous times about how difficult it is to get a job here in Ocala. Yesterday I spent a good 6 hours online applying and looking for opportunities. So, I was just talking...
The next big thing.
Life with the Lord is always an adventure! I think we should think about taking the word “settled” out of the Christianese vocabulary… Sunday I leave for the busy metropolis know as Ocala, Fl. My fried Chad and his wife Ashley are going on vacation for a week and so I’ll be crashing at their...
Who's With Me?
Here is an excerpt from my daily devotional Jesus Calling: Try to stay conscious of me as you go step by step through this day. My Presence with you is both a promise and a protection. My final statement just before I ascended into heaven was: ‘Surely I am with you always’. That promise was...
