When Someone Crosses Your Mind (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes people just cross your mind, you know? And what do you do when that happens, you just let the thought fade? I was chatting with my wife Heidi last night when I got home from KCBI, and I said, “Hey, guess who I was thinking of when I was driving home?” “Who?” “LuAnn,” I said. Then Heidi went, “Oh, LuAnn! I wonder how she’s doing?” LuAnn and I used to work together back in the day, and she was our wedding photographer, so when she crossed my mind, I sent her a text, asking her if she nee
The Fireman's Prayer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In many firehouses across the country, there’s a poem hanging on the wall called The Fireman’s Prayer. It was written in the 1950s by Wichita, Kansas firefighter A.W. “Smokey” Linn. With the wildfires we’ve seen across North and Central Texas lately, I thought you might appreciate taking a moment to read or hear it.

God Grows Us (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When was the last time you looked back and noticed how far you’ve come and grown? It can be surprising, right? Growth sneaks up on you, like a plant.

But over time, with the right conditions, they’ve been qu
Guard Your Heart (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With the kids going back to school, pumpkin spice stuff back in stores, and before you know it, a season change, maybe now is the time for a social media change? Not everyone deserves a front row seat to…your peace. So, if you’re following someone or a page that posts things that make you feel anxious, angry, discouraged, drained, or brings back bad memories, you can just unfollow or mute. I do this all the time. Not unfriending but simply choosing to guard your heart. You don’t have to explain
The Blessing Of A Detour (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes detours happen, right? You're heading down one path, and then God redirects you to something new. Sometimes it's literally a detour when you're driving. That happened to my wife, Heidi, the other day. She takes the same route to work every morning, but overnight (thanks, TxDOT), construction completely shut down her usual way. Who knows when it's going to reopen? She found another route and managed to make it to work on time. Everything turned out fine, but it was still annoying. Then,
