Don’t Worry, Be Happy

Do you remember the song Don’t Worry, Be Happy (silly video, but Robin Williams cracks me up)? It was the first a cappella song to reach #1 on the Billboard Top 100. Released in 1988 and, even though it’s ranked #31 on VH1′s 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of The 80′s, it was still a great song. The…

Life Happens

As she walked down the aisle, arm in arm with her Dad, she looked beautiful.  Talking quietly & giggling, these two friends of mine had come to a significant day in their lives. Life happens.

As leaders, pastors, parents…we often “throw” a vision, a directive, or an idea to our team or kids in a way that cannot be caught,…

Making a Good Throw

Being the Dad of two boys, I’ve played a lot of “catch” with my sons.  Both of them have very strong arms.  My younger son excels at throwing a baseball, while my older son excels at throwing a football (though he throws awkwardly, like Phillip Rivers of the Chargers).
