One Foundation, Many Builders

A typical foundation in the early days of the Roman Empire. I have no construction experience yet I am always fascinated by the way structures go up.

Morning Shine Or Midnight Oil

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a morning person. While I buffet my flesh often and get up as early as I need to in order to get done what needs done, it is not my ideal.

The Best Defense is Good Offense…Believe It.

I know summer is coming, football season is over but I had to use this analogy. I love football because of its intensity, grit and the endurance factor involved. It correlates a lot to Christianity and a life of prayer in particular.
