At present Saudi Arabia and surrounding countries (the oil cartel states) are for the most part boycotting American goods. Would you be willing to return the favor?

Read MoreHave you ever wished that you could take these monkey’s lead in how you conduct yourself in life? I know I have. It’s like a moment frozen in time. Take speaking for instance. I am listening to someone or watching something, and before I realize it, I have opened my mouth, inserted my size 12+ foot in it, and just chewed on it for a while. Maybe you can related. If we want our lives to prosper even as our soul prospers, we must protect and nurture our soul. Here…
Read MoreThroughout the history of our nation, Americans have instinctively known the dangers of pornography, and, as our nation’s moral beginnings would have it, we as a society have resisted its intrusion for the most part. Even as late into the 20th century as the 1970’s, Americans have been repulsed by the idea that such an industry would even make an attempt to open for business in our communities.

There is something magical about those moments in the beginning – whether those moments last a few months or a few years. You feel like you are on top of the world and have the corner on the market on what love truly feels like. It’s that place of absolute excitement and anticipation of what is to come, and you can’t wait to get there. Have you ever had that?…
Read MoreWhen it comes to raising children, your words and how you say them are powerful, but there is nothing more powerful than living what you say. Learning how to speak to your children and living out what you speak is so much easier to talk about than to do. I am speaking from personal experience, and from the experience of others that I have spoken with over the years who have been truthful enough to admit it. Saying and doing do not always see eye to eye. Maybe you can…
Read MoreWhile reading about heaven today – having one of those homesick days – I was reminded of a conversation I had with my son Nathaniel when he was about 7 years old. We were sitting on a tree branch over a creek in Bear Creek Canyon in Colorado with his brother Joshua, and he asked me, “Daddy, how big is heaven?” I answered him and said, “Son, it is big enough for everyone who wants to be there, and everyone who will be there will have a mansion all…
