Those Ants!
Self-motivation is the driving force that helps us to take initiative, persevere through challenges, and achieve our goals. Willpower alone is not going to cut it. The true catalyst for meaningful accomplishments stems from a deeper purpose and understanding of who we are and what we are called to do. Self-motivation aligns with our faith…

A Quiet Thanksgiving
First light is an amazing time of the day. Yesterday, from a tree stand north of Kechi, I watched darkness give way to a soft morning glow and the darkened images below emerge into distinct sentries of the woods. Watching ever so carefully and keeping quiet in the stillness, I saw birds begin to bustle…

Bring It In!
There are two things I look forward to during a cross country meet. I love watching the teams warm up as they roll through the course together as a picture of unity and strength.

Hard Words

I mean, who does that? I’m sorry to…

I’ve Got This!
2 Timothy 2:2 (NIV) “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.” Confidence is a crucial factor in the mindset for success. But, are we to take on life on our own and not expect or allow…

Bummer!
Well, I am certainly identifying with several of you right now. Some of you are facing injury and have been “set aside” for a time of healing and recovery. I’m kind of feeling your pain. I have a knee issue that I thought would be taken care of with surgery. However, as it turns out,…

Prayer and Athletics
In the world of athletics, physical strength, discipline, and strategy often take center stage, but there is another element that many athletes rely on to navigate the pressures and challenges of their sports: prayer.
