Do you know what it means to course correct? As I understand it, it is when an airplane is on autopilot and it is heading towards the destination. Every so often, it checks if it is on course and adjusts accordingly. Perhaps it is flying a bit east of it’s destination, so it redirects slightly […]

Unexpected Beauty
Do you ever get so busy with life that you fail to look around you? Sometimes life can be so demanding we fail to recognize and appreciate the unexpected beauty around us. It seems in our never-ending rush to get it done, we forget to stop and smell the roses. I have no idea what […]

A Day Off
Life has seemed extra busy lately. In between work, home projects, and life in general, there just hasn’t seemed to be a chance to press pause and breathe for a moment.

A Fresh Perspective on Waiting
Perhaps you – like most all of us – are waiting for something. Be it a job, direction, a home, etc. I believe I’ve shared before waiting is not my favorite thing. It requires patience and pause, and being the red-blooded American that I am, I want to go at life full throttle. But what […]
Where to Begin
Do you ever wonder where to begin? You want to change things up a bit, make a shift and reach for new goals, and yet you feel a bit stuck in a rut? How do you decide where to begin, what changes to make and what goals to pursue? This is a fun question because […]
Exciting Outcomes
When you play it small, you play it safe. But when you take a chance, a calculated risk, exciting outcomes enter the equation. Small efforts and requests may lead to safe answers and minimal disruption, but as Christians are we really called to lead lives of insignificance? The Circle Maker I am currently reading a […]
