Why I was SO Annoyed at My Wife

by

20 Days of Believing God – Day 2 A number of years ago, my wife, Robyn, ruined the floors in three rooms of our house. It was thousands of dollars in damage. Money we didn’t have. I won’t even go in to how she did it. That’s not important. The floors were ruined. Can you […]

Praying for a Breakthrough

I used to pray for “breakthroughs.” For God to do something big, something unmistakeable to change my circumstances. Do you pray that way? My breakthrough prayers usually sounded something like this: “O Lord, You see my situation! I really need You to come through! I need a breakthrough today!” If it’s not finances for you, […]

Fitness Test

by

Yesterday, my 17-year-old son and I took a fitness test. It’s the first step in the 60-day Insanity workout program. We’ll repeat the test every two weeks so we can chart our progress. I thought the test was hard! My son outscored me on every exercise. My wife and daughter also took the test and […]
