Imagine standing on the bow of a large ship in the vast ocean. Looking out on miles and miles of beautiful open sea. Out there, bobbing around in the water, as far as you can see, are fish tanks—aquariums. Some square. Some round. Some large. Some small. In the aquariums, are fish. Some alone. Some…
…is headed to the printer! After many edits, it should be out before the end of October. If you know me, you know I am not a ‘details’ person. Writing/publishing has much to do with details. So, I have had the help of my wife and many friends!!! Thank you all! This book is about…
Back in 2004 I was part of DreamBuildersNetwork in Orlando, Florida. Kennan Burch, a great friend of mine, had a dream of helping men to find and live their dreams. Not dreams they drum up from the fleshly desires of society, but dreams God gave them. The works He has for us to do. “For…

A few years ago I was helping our church look for a church partnership in Wales. My first trip over there I got to spend some time with a young pastor. He had worked his way through Bible school and had been given an old church building to use to plant a church. It was…
From time to time I go back and read this parable. And Christ again reminds me I am free in Him. But free to ‘what’? Free to love others as He did. Free to follow His Spirit as He leads. Free to draw as near to Him and as close as I can. For, “In…
