It may be hard to believe, but it’s true. A 26 year old named Craig Rowin used the internet to ask for a million dollars and a mystery millionaire named Benjamin is going to give it to him. Well, I need a million dollars too! When you give a million dollars to me, it will actually go to a 501C3 called Passion4Pastor, Inc. You will get a non-profit tax donation and you can feel good about your million being used [...]
How did this all start? Jim Nantz’s baritone voice booms over the airwaves, Dave Loggin’s instrumental version of “Augusta” makes my heart race. A tradition, like no other, The Masters! Well for me it was a brother’s love. The love of a game that was special to him, the love of his little brother that had no end. My brother, twelve years older than me, fell in love with golf, then along I came, and he fell in love with [...]
My wife and I will celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary on August 13th. I recently heard a line from the song Never My Love by the Associations which says, “Have I told you how happy I am that your mine?” Such a simple phrase with a very powerful message. Melanie and I have been around every dangerous curve in the road of life and thankfully God has been our constant beam of Light which has kept us on the road. Although Melanie [...]
Not that long ago, it was standard operating procedure for families to live together. I don’t mean you and your kids I mean the family. You know Grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters and their spouses and all the kids living together under one roof. The family. My father’s generation grew up that way going through World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II. With the economy the way it is right now many of us have been forced [...]

Take the fight to the enemy. Endless: Our Lord’s love is endless. Success: In all that we do we [...]
Bobby, my older brother, has and always will be my hero. You see my brother always wanted the best for me, constantly showering me with praise and doing everything possible to build up my confidence. He was a great mentor and motivator, leading by example. He taught me to love the game of golf. He would always tell me that with a lot of sweat and hard work I could become a great player. I worked very hard, sometimes hitting [...]
My son Tyler and I were discussing our two pets the other day. Tyler absolutely loves animals. For years we had an annual pass to the Ft. Worth Zoo and it seemed like we were there every week. Tyler still loves the zoo but he now gets his animal fix by watching Animal Planet TV. Our family has two pets at home, a Boston terrier named “Bogey” and a cat named “Zoey”. Tyler asked me the other day, “Dad, who [...]
My brother’s favorite ride at Disneyland was “It’s a Small World” and I really never understood why. The ride is one of the oldest and maybe the most boring rides known to man. You climb into a little boat with twelve of your closest friends and off you go. The boat moves lazily through a maze of little puppets all singing, “It’s a Small World after all, it’s a Small World after all, it’s a Small World after all, it’s [...]
Have you ever noticed how some people begin a countdown toward something that is very special to them? It may be their birthday, the last day of school, an anniversary or even retirement. The countdown begins with an arbitrary date or time. There are no set rules for this kind of thing; each one is custom tailored to the preference of the countee. Before the countdown can officially begin, the countee is obligated to announce the countdown to their world. [...]
