Snapshot Behind the Curtain
Sometimes I wish that we could peel back the curtain of life and see the spiritual reality that the Bible describes. We live in a very physical, tangible, see-it, taste-it, touch-it, and feel-it world. But our existence whether we recognize it or not is back draped by an intangible spiritual side as well. Several months…

“You’re Not as Bad as Everybody Says”
Reprinted from ReadyAimLife “I think you’re getting better.” I wasn’t sure exactly how to respond to my latest compliment. I think my evaluator’s heart was good but her choice of words left a little to be desired. Actually, a lot to be desired. Fortunately, my ego wasn’t that fragile or I could have gotten really…

Looking for God in the Bible
It’s funny where God is disappearing these days. In the late 1800s, Nietzsche said that God was dead and for many He began to disappear in their lives. Then they decided that prayer in schools was “un-constitutional” and He began to disappear from the schools. Some want Him to disappear in the pledge of allegiance. …

Thomas Akempis: Obedience and Subjection
IT IS a very great thing to obey, to live under a superior and not to be one’s own master, for it is much safer to be subject than it is to command. Many live in obedience more from necessity than from love. Such become discontented and dejected on the slightest pretext; they will never…

Living Large in Your Character
Reprinted from ReadyAimLife by The Howitzer I am not much of an actor. When the lights go on I get very self-conscious. I used to joke that I have been forced to do so many sketches over the years that I have skit-zophrenia. When I was in high school, I tried out and got a…

Thomas Akempis- Shunning Over-Familiarity
DO NOT open your heart to every man, but discuss your affairs with one who is wise and who fears God. Do not keep company with young people and strangers. Do not fawn upon the rich, and do not be fond of mingling with the great. Associate with the humble and the simple, with the…

Living Large in Your Friendships

Living Large with Your Health
Reprinted from ReadyAimLife by The Howitzer It’s funny that the old fat guy at RAL would write the vision piece about fitness. Normally, any article related to health is assigned to the person who has it all together and loves to put their picture up or someone who tells the before and after story of…
