I started walking into work around 6:30 one day this past week. The sun was just starting to light the morning sky. I could see maybe 20 feet in front of me, but not much else. It had just snowed during the night. There was a fresh dusting of white, powdery snow on the sidewalk…

Life is just so fast paced and it seems like things are progressing towards “the day” that the Bible talks about continually, but yet we know that it will be in God’s perfect timing. Jill Miller and Darren Clausen lead our Intercessory Ministry and they wrote a song and a prayer directive for December of…

“Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one--the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts,…” That quote is from the C.S. Lewis book, “The Screwtape Letters”. It’s a fictional book authored from the viewpoint of a senior demon instructing a lesser demon, his nephew, on how to guide the…

Last winter we had a really cold day. It wasn’t a “I should wear a jacket today” cold day. It was a “My nose hairs turned into icicles when I breathed through my nose” kind of cold day. I remember I had to run home from work to get something. Luckily, we only live one…

I’ve had many roles in my 44 years: • I’ve been an Assistant Manager of a national restaurant chain that employed over 50 employees and served hundreds of people per day. • I managed a coffee shop that had people waiting to get in at 6 o’clock in the morning and was steadily…

I’m reminded that today is the 13th of the month. The 13th is usually a big day for our family. There are no birthdays on the 13th of any month in our immediate family. No anniversaries either. The 13th of each month is the day that the data plans for our phones refresh. Without doing…

Earlier in the summer, my friend Darren and I were the designated prayer team for a week at a Youth for Christ camp for middle schoolers designed for kids to encounter their Savior. Preparing for this week, we knew we were entering into a war over these young lives. We knew the week would be…

The Road to Remarkable
