If we are made in God's image, then as we understand the word image, God must be a being. So who is God to you? When I was younger I had this picture in my mind of this old gentleman with long flowing gray hair and a white robe holding a lightning bolt, like Zeus, Charlton Heston (Moses) or maybe … [Read more...]
Most of my life I have lived obligated. Obligated to the needs of others, obligated to what culture, family and religion expected me to be, and obligated to be something that inside I knew I couldn’t live up to. Nine months ago I looked at everything I was doing in my life and I asked the … [Read more...]
I had one of the best days with my family yesterday. Davis had a soccer game in Boulder, CO. Davis played a good game, but close to the end of the game someone fouled one of the other players in the box. They scored tying the game 1-1. When they came back to the mid-line in the field. I looked at … [Read more...]
Webster defines the word dismantling like this: To take apart; disassemble; to tear down. To put an end to in a gradual systematic way.

The kind of place where six locals are already watering up at 12:00 … [Read more...]
I actually wrote this post back in October, but it feels so real this morning as I sit listening to the blues,reflecting on my life, and writing. Hope you enjoy it. The Ride I decided to go bike riding with my son Davis yesterday. It was overcast, gloomy and gray, but we didn’t think much of … [Read more...]
Back in December I had one of the best days of my life. The little basketball team that I help coach one three straight games to capture the Northern Colorado championship (7th grade). My son is a phenomenal basketball player, but this was a team effort. Not one of the wins was pretty, but they left … [Read more...]
I posted a question on Facebook yesterday that I have been wrestling with over the last week as I reflected on this past year. The question was, “What is the most important thing in life?” I got most of the answers I expected to get: 1. God 2. Family 3. Jesus Christ 4. My … [Read more...]
I would love to tell you that 2012 was one of my favorite years, but I would be lying. It has been a tough year for me and for many people who I care about, but as I sit and reflect on the changes in my life I am excited about my life, and what the future holds. From the outside, people would see … [Read more...]
I am a student of life, a writer, a counselor, a coach and an executive, and this is my blog. This blog is the test bed for ideas before they become books, retreats or coaching exercises.
