What We Can Learn from the Atlanta Falcons

I live in Atlanta, Georgia, was born and raised here, and I love the Atlanta Falcons. It is a thrill for me to watch professional football players perform at that level. Have you ever thought about what it takes for those guys to get there? It takes hard hits, years of practice, and likely some [...]

You Decide

Proverbs 1:8 says, “My child, listen when you father corrects you. Don’t neglect your mother’s instruction.”  Think back when you were a child. Did you ever say to yourself, My parents just don’t know anything? I sure did. I used to think, There is no way my parents know more than I do about life [...]

“My heart needs a surgeon, my soul needs a friend . . .”

So many of us don’t even realize we’re desperately searching, day in and day out, for whatever will finally satisfy—the one thing I need that will give me peace in life, will finally fill me up. We search for it, and we get something we think will do the trick, but then that doesn’t do [...]

Do You Even Know My Dad?

Proverbs 1:7 says, “Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.” Not only does the Bible promise it will make us smart; fearing God is also how we avoid the destruction of following the wrong crowd.

And You Thought You Had Family Problems . . .

I love the story of Joseph. It’s one of those where when you hear it, you say, I thought I had it bad, but this guy really had it bad. Joseph had a wonderful life. He was the baby in a fairly prosperous family, and his father adored him. Everything was good until the day his [...]

The Gold Standard

Rehabilitation acknowledges a need for and allows for repairs, alterations, and additions to create a new use for an existing structure. Picture an old storefront with its exposed brick walls now housing a chic little coffee shop. Preservation, according to the guidelines, means “taking measures to sustain the existing form, integrity, and materials” of an old [...]

If We’re Honest . . .

Those who think they know it all have no way of finding out they don’t. -Leo Buscaglia If we're honest with ourselves, we will admit that we don't know it all and that we are fully capable of doing stupid things, no matter how smart we may be. But, regardless of how badly we've messed [...]
