Some of the clients I get to opportunity to work with are going through very hard times in their lives. They are dealing with a divorce or custody battle, they owe the IRS a lot of money, they are threatened with losing their business or family. And while they are going through the pain, it [...]

Exposed: Have You Been Caught Skinny Dipping?
Last week I attended a real estate law seminar. My practice involves a little bit of real estate work, but I am pretty diversified with other practice areas. Whether that is really good or not is a question for another day. But, in this context it was a good thing because there was a lot [...]
Changing the “Stubborn”
I know that trying to do some progressive things in an “inter-generational” Southern Baptist church is difficult. Like the old Baptist jokes go, we have to send all decisions to a committee to be researched, then recommended to the deacons or the pastor, then to the church for a vote, then back to committee, on [...]
Don’t Be Lazy and Wicked: Use Your Gifts
Most people have probably heard Jesus’ “Parable of the Talents” from Matthew 25. In this parable Jesus told of a master who gave five talents to one servant, two talents to another, and one talent to the third servant. The first two servants invested their talents and doubled what their master gave them. The master [...]
How Good are You at Remembering Special Occasions?
Do you remember dates? I mean special events like friends birthdays, anniversaries, mother’s day, etc. I have never been really good at remembering dates for my friends.

Cole’s First Krispy Kreme Experience
Last night was a very big night for our one year old, Cole. He has been getting more and more adventurous with his eating and he gets to share what mommy and daddy are eating a lot more now than he has been able to. But last night was something special indeed. Something that will [...]
Book Review: Chazown by Craig Groeschel
I was recently in a “discount” bookstore and picked up a copy of Chazown by Craig Groeschel. I listen to the Lifechurch.tv podcasts every week and really enjoy Craig and his teaching. I also learn a lot from his blog posts every day. I didn’t really know what the book was about, but I knew [...]
Confession: I Strive for Glory
I enjoy my time in God’s word every morning. Well, almost every morning. Sometimes God gets a little personal with me and really convicts my heart. The last few days I have been spending time in John’s Gospel and today I read through chapter 12. Here’s what jumped off the page at me in verses [...]
