The question of the day on the radio this morning was, "What motivates you?' Thinking this through and listening to some of the callers answers, this is a wide open question. I almost want to take a camera and microphone around campus and around town and ask random people. I wonder, "what answers would I get?" … Continue reading Morning Motivation

Prove It!
Do you recall the "prove it" challenge from your childhood. I variation of "I dare you!" Your group of friends would start boasting about what you could do, how fast you could run, how far you could jump, how high you could climb in the tree. Then someone would call your bluff, "prove it!" You were … Continue reading Prove It!
One Thing
Only one thing. If you were told you had to vacate your house and other than the clothes you wear you can only take one thing, what would that one thing be? I have thought long and hard about that question. The noble part of me wants to answer a Bible. The nostalgic side of … Continue reading One Thing
When Wrong Makes Right
In today's political environment; in this day of violence and unrest; in this time of economic struggle for nations, states, counties, cities, and towns; in times like this I begin to think about how I can help.

A Living Sacrifice
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship (reasonable service). Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is … Continue reading A Living Sacrifice
It Isn’t Me.
"Who is making that noise?!" Mom asked. All three of us denied, "It isn't me!" It isn't me. Let me state that from a different direction and in the form of a question: Am I really me? Am I my own person? Western society touts the idea of being yourself, finding your own truth, living for … Continue reading It Isn’t Me.
