It has been 22 days since I last posted… pretty slack, I know.

I needed the break.

If you do not know me well, let me fill you in. I could write a dissertation, but I think my wife, Jennifer, sums me up quickly, succinctly and most importantly, correctly.

Jennifer describes me as an “all or nothing” guy.

I am a work in progress (Jesus still has some work to do… by some work, I mean A LOT of work…).

In my life I have been hot or cold. Black or white. Right or wrong. On or off. Happy or sad. On fire or dripping wet. Very rarely has anyone found me in between.

I am working on being more mellow and not so one sided in my thinking, my actions or my emotions, but this is difficult for me. I am a passionate man and sometimes my passion has blinded me.

I am trying to figure out this thing God created called life. Rick Warren wrote the now famous book, “Purpose Driven Life” helping all who read it find their God given purpose in life. I love the first line of the book, “It’s not about you.”

I realize “it” is not about me. “It” is all about God. I know this and I will live my life hopefully proving to you and everyone else that life is truly about God.

Without even realizing it, I just wrote my passion. You may not know it, but those three sentences above were a gift to me from God. I am not trying to be funny or melodramatic, but in this blog, at this very minute, God just gave me a breakthrough that I have been searching for for years.

I like definition. I thrive on direction. I need vision (Proverbs 29:18). I must know where I am going. This is part of my DNA. If I do not have a clear destination I am uncomfortable and in my discomfort I will wander.

It has been hard for me to sleep lately and tonight is not an exception. I thank God for this blog and for you reading it. If you could, say a prayer for me and pray for God’s plan for my life as I pray for you.

I believe God opened a door from Heaven today and I plan to walk through it.
