The world can feel overwhelming at times. As sat in the drive-through at Burger King today, I was listening to the news. I am hearing about wildfires in several states, primary election results across the country, the Russia-Ukraine war, and I find myself feeling well – a little helpless. Why? Well, I can’t put out…
Well, I am pivoting on what I was going to write this morning. Why? Because of my grandkids. My wife and I have six grandkids, ages 10 and under. Four of them live in Colorado while the other two live on the east coast. Fortunately, we get to see the Colorado crew all the time.…

Championing Living on Purpose and the concept that Monday’s Matter, is something I have been passionate about for over 40 years. In that time, I have written about living lives that are consequential; I have spoken in a variety of settings about it; and have taught about the fact that “Retirement” is actually not a…
Author Alistair Begg, in his book “Brave By Faith” raises the issue of drawing a line that you won’t go past. He is writing specifically about moral lines as he wades into the world of seeming confusion. There was once a time in this country when the majority of people had a common belief in…
As most of you know, I have a passion for helping people discover their purpose in life and gaining insight into how to live it. Back in December I posted a quote that said, “Don’t live the same year 75 times and call it a life.” But my friend Paul Batura, who writes a weekly…
