Be still!

“Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:11

Two words that make such a difficult challenge. That’s what God Word says to do in Psalm 46:11. “Be still and know that I am God.” How can you be still when you have a full time job, run a non-profit organization, coach soccer, and have 4 kids?
I did something crazy the other day while driving to school. I turned off the radio! (I know I’m such a rebel) It was the closest to stillness I had been in months. Close to a million thoughts probably zipped through my mind, but there was one that stuck… I knew there was a God! If you are in doubt that there is a God, turn off the radio, stop moving, and you will know that you couldn’t be more wrong. BE STILL!

A Sports Kid!

The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. Psalm 138:8

“Dad I wasn’t made to be some farm kid. I was made to be a sports kid.” That’s what Ty said to me the other night on the way home from Pray & Play. Apparently he thinks by making him take a nap I want him to grow crops, and milk cows. Anyway the awesome part is that he actually realizes God made him with a purpose. I’ve preached that over and over again for the last 5 years at Skybacher Ministries. Atleast one person is getting the message. God has made you with a purpose!!!! Whether He made you to be a farm kid, a sports kid, or something else. Know that he has a purpose for your life this very day!!

Riding Scooters, and All the Time in The World

Last night I watched my kids riding their scooters down a hill, and chasing after a bunny. Not too exciting to most people I’m sure. But for me it took me back to time when I was riding not a scooter but my big wheel down a hill, without a care in the world. No stress, no sense of time, no bills to pay. I miss that ol’ black & gold “big wheel” with a hawk on the side. I miss having no stress, sense of time, or bills to pay. I thank God for kids and the reminders they bring!!
