Ask Seek 4: Inspiration & Prayer

  • No Purpose – No Vision!

    Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Purpose and vision are intricately connected. Without purpose, there can be no vision, and without vision, we lose direction. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us…

  • Ready to High Five 2025!

    It was awesome having you guys, the WSU TF team and coaches, at the church for a “Welcome Back” meal this past Wednesday.  It was my privilege to pray for you as I prayed that God would give you an infusion of faith to trust in Him for a firm resolve in Character, an unwavering…

  • Storm & the Stillness

    Winter storms have a way of speaking to our soul. When it ices up and the snow begins to fall, blanketing everything around us, there’s a bit of a hush—a pause. Life slows down. Plans are canceled, roads are closed, and we find ourselves confined to our homes. It can feel inconvenient, even frustrating. Or,…

  • Our God of Second Chances

    So,  what was your New Year’s Resolution for 2012?  Too far back?  How about 2020?  What Resolutions did you make for that year?  If you do remember it might be because your resolutions are the same every year. : ) That’s probably not a fair assessment.  But… How many of you can tell me what…

  • Behold!

    Christmas is a time of imagination. So, put your mind into creative mode and think about something from God’s perspective. God is omniscient. He knows everything, right? So, imagine Him kneeling at the manger and looking at the Christ Child, His Son. God the Father looked into the face of Jesus, as a newborn babe…

  • The Shepherds’ Story

    Don’t you love stories? Stories play a significant role in society.  They serve as a cornerstone of human culture and communication. Stories are a means of conveying knowledge, values, and shared experiences across generations. We connect with a story.  The Old Testament was passed on to generations through oral tradition. Stories act as vessels for…

  • 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. Then, minutes before the gun goes off they do something crucial—they “bring it in.” The runners huddle together, forming a close…

  • Time On Red Bull

    Is time getting away from you?  Track and Field athletes are probably thinking, “Indoor is almost here.”  Cross Country athletes are thinking, “What?! The season has vaporized. Seniors may be thinking that a cap and gown is not that far away.  Most Freshmen are saying, “I didn’t think it would go THIS fast. Even though…
