Impact: The Story of Coppertop

I was talking last week to a very good friend, Scott Richardson. I asked him was he riding his Harley much lately. He said that he was, but what shocked me was what he said next, “you know I ride a Harley because of you.” What is funny is I don’t ride a Harley. He reminded me that I read the List of Things I Love to him over six years ago. He went and bought his first motorcycle two days … [Read more...]

Storyteller

I have had a couple of people lately tell me their favorite blogs are the ones when I write about a particular story in my life. At first I was ticked, because I want people to read my stuff and be encouraged to grow in their faith, but then I realized that experiencing someone's faith is a better teacher than someone teaching about faith. Don't teach me how to look through the eyes of the heart … [Read more...]

Child-Like Faith-My Sledding Adventure

We arrived at a snow covered hill west of town called Colorado State University Hill. There were hundreds of people enjoying the warm sun and the … [Read more...]

An Old Camaro-God Shows Up

A few years ago I had this ritual on Saturday nights with one of my best friends; we would ride around after the kids had gone to sleep much like we did in high school. We would smoke cigars and laugh about the old days, and wrestle with our questions about God. Riding with the windows down after midnight seems to bring up tons of memories and answers. This particular Saturday night we had … [Read more...]

The Call of Abram

I wonder what Abram was thinking when God asked him to "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you" at the ripe old age of 75. Why now? Where are we going too? What's the plan? What is the purpose? Do you think we could develop the next steps and develop a timeline? Boy, can I relate. Moving my family to Colorado has touched every emotion, … [Read more...]
