Living in the Now
One morning last week I had coffee with an incredible young man. In fact six-seven mornings a week you can find me having coffee with incredible young men and women. It’s kinda what I do - disciple, coach, pastor. I’m not really sure what you’d call it. We normally discuss life, spirituality, character, family, the past, dreams, fears. And together we try to find some...

Last night Rusty and I sat on the deck and talked about the past 4 years of our friendship - the good, the bad, the ugly, and the ridiculous. But it...
