2:327 – I Needed That! #faithbites #faithjourney #RoadToEdD needed The kids and wife are gone for the weekend. Some would say it’s bachelor life, let’s party it up. For me, it’s a work and writing weekend. I am blessed to have a wife and family that understand what writing a dissertation means. The first writing weekend I had, I felt […]
2:324 – Want Service? Show Service! #faithbites #faithjourney Service Today, I dropped my kids off at morning care. We saw their principal, with a busted foot, setting up chairs for chapel. This is well over 200 chairs, mind you. I asked what was going on. He told me the janitor has a sick child and wasn’t able to be there. […]
2:296 – Different Strength, Different Challenges #faithbites #faithjourney different Tonight was parent/teacher conferences. It amazed me that even though my kids looked almost identical at the same age, they are so very different in their behaviors and interactions. While the teachers showcased their strengths and differences, they both have compassion and caring for all of God’s children. In our faith, […]
2:281 – Life’s Rough, Love Each Other #faithbites #faithjourney love Today’s been a bad pain day, a bad social media day, ok work day, and an ok parenting day. But I’m exhausted.

2:265: You Are For-Given #faithbites #faithjourney #redletterchallenge #for-given We’ve talked about how I’m a big ole hot mess. That no matter what I try to do, I still sin. I hurt people, I do what I don’t want to. As we enter the week of Forgiveness, I’m trying to forgive myself for the pains I have caused others. Jesus’s forgiveness […]
2:248 – For The Person Listening In #faithbites #faithjourney Listening Have you ever gotten into a debate and someone tells you it’s not worth it because you will never change the person’s mind?

2:230 – An Example Of…. #faithbites #faithbites example When you say who is a great example of a leader, who do you point to? A President, A manager, a boss? When someone asks who is an example of a great performer, maybe you point to Taylor Swift, Queen, The Beatles. How about a good example of a teacher? You probably […]
2:216 – Never A Bad Time For Prayer #faithbites #faithjourney prayer We hear a lot about thoughts and prayers lately. There is never a bad time for prayer, no matter what. Today, we were dropping of girls from our troop at scout camp. Before we left, I asked if we could have a prayer. We all prayed and it set […]
2:189 – Quiet Can Be Wonderful #faithbites #faithjourney quiet Quiet is probally not a word most people would use to describe me. I’m loud. I’m obnoxious and love people. As I get older, I feel the need for quiet time. There is so much noise and activity that it makes my anxiety go nuts, leads to irritability, and makes me […]
2:178 – Work Hard and Be Nice #faithbites #faithjourney nice My wife and I have been watching the new show Mr. Iglesias about a Latino History teacher in California. It’s a hilarious show. As a teacher, he has two rules in class: Work Hard and Be Nice. That’s it. Simple. We know that Jesus tells us to Love God and […]
