Life is a Full Contact Sport
Life is short, so we should go for it. Whatever God has put on our heart to do, whatever gifts He has given us, whatever talents and abilities He has put in us – we should play it out to the max. As Nike says – Go for it.
Psalm 1 Wedding Toast
We recently returned from a wedding, and it reminded me of the talk I gave at one of my son’s weddings. It is based on Psalm 1, and its premise is that the word “man” can also be understood as “husband and wife” based on the definition of man in Genesis.
