What If...

The above title is always a common question in our society. We tend to reflect on what could have been, what will be, etc. One may ask, is a "what if" philosophy good or bad? As I think about the answer, I believe it could be both. Personally, I feel like I've used it for bad recently. I have tended... Sign in to see full entry.

OMG - Where Have I Been?

It is amazing how fast time goes. I have been off this site for a while. There are two main reasons for that. One is that I have been extremely busy. Besides finishing up another school year, I took on a second job temporarily. I had a very rewarding experience as my school's baseball coach, but it... Sign in to see full entry.

It's a Laughing Matter

The other day I was listening to a conversation. They were talking about an individual who spent a vacation with a group of people they didn't know very well. However, the person fit in perfectly, and his company was enjoyed by all. One of the reasons mentioned was that this person laughed a lot.... Sign in to see full entry.

Why My Family is the Best

I just returned from a weekend at my parents' house. I was there with my wife and kids, my parents, and my two sisters and their families. It's always a full house as one sister has 8 kids. It's a bit loud and crazy, but it's always great. There were three things I observed this weekend to further... Sign in to see full entry.

It's All About Faith

I can't believe I've only been able to write one entry on this site in the past two weeks. The amount of time I've had has gone down, and the demands of life and job have gone up. It's a bit frustrating because I feel like I can't accomplish some of the goals I have set for myself. What can I do to... Sign in to see full entry.

WIJWH

You may be asking, "what's with the weird title?" What on earth does it mean? I will say that, no, I haven't yet learned to blog in code. You may have heard the expression, WWJD. If not, it means "What Would Jesus Do?" The point is to think about situations in our lives and see them as Jesus would... Sign in to see full entry.

Correcting Errors

I have always been a huge baseball fan. I played it, I watch it, and enjoy seeing young people learn the game. I recently became the head coach of my school's baseball team of 12-14 year old boys (and one girl). This is the first time I have ever coached a team. I have two excellent assistants, and...

Expect A Miracle

Mothers Day is always a special day as we celebrate the moms in our life. For this most recent one we spent a wonderful day with my mother in law. Per her request we attended service at her church instead of our own. I am very comfortable with my church and very much enjoy our services. However, I... Sign in to see full entry.

Focus on the Moment

I was watching a beautiful sunset the other day. It was just one of those classic, beautiful settings outside my kitchen window on a warm Spring day. I watched it for a few seconds and enjoyed it. That is, until I thought of all the the things I still had to do that day. At that time, I left the... Sign in to see full entry.

Focus on Success

Ok, here's the question of the day...what do baseball players and weather predictors have in common? Answer....many are making millions of dollars for failing most of the time. It's an interesting concept. The best baseball players get hits 3 out of every 10 times at bat. That means they come up... Sign in to see full entry.
