I have been working with a man who may be one of the finest men I have ever met. For the first time in his life he is beginning to believe how special he is as a person. He is one of the finest horsemen in Colorado, and one of the few cowboys that I know who are real cowboys, not posers like most guys you see with boots and cowboy hats. Underneath his cowboy exterior I found an undiscovered gem; … [Read more...]

Expectations
January 5, 2012 By 10 Comments
Christmas has come & gone. The question has been asked, “Did you get what you wanted?” In other words, “Were your expectations met?” We live in a world of expectations. In business, employers and customers have certain expectations. In our personal lives, we place expectations on others, and often wonder and ask ourselves if we are living up to the expectations of others. We even do it … [Read more...]
Impact: The Story of Coppertop
December 21, 2011 By 5 Comments
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...]
My Sexual Culture
December 19, 2011 By 2 Comments
I asked someone who has become a good friend to share with my readers some of the messages she received about her sexuality from her past. I met June (not her real name) through my blog. We had a couple of very candid conversations about sexuality and uncovered the source of her pain. I hope this helps someone out there recapture their sexuality, and their life. And I want to think my friend for … [Read more...]

We have a saying at Eyes of the Heart and Men's Adventure that we hold as the crucible of our ministries, One Man at a Time!

Where Do You Place Your Trust?
November 14, 2011 By 10 Comments
I am increasingly frustrated by the reactions of those around the world to government cutbacks that are taking place in order to avoid the functional equivalent of a national bankruptcy. Greek citizens are rioting because of austerity measures requiring cuts in national entitlements. Some Occupy Wall Streeters are upset that they have mountains of student debt and few job prospects. Public health … [Read more...]
“How to Unravel a Sweater”
October 3, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Poetry, life, and the unraveling of sweaters. I enjoy the wee bit of poetry now and again and have tried my hand a few times, finding that the more I express myself where it won't be seen by any other reading thing (including our Yorkie) the more I am able to express myself here. One book stands out for me. Poem Crazy by Susan Goldsmith Wooldridge, subtitled Freeing Your Life with Words, … [Read more...]
