(can’t see the video above? Click here) One of the best movies I’ve seen recently was The King’s Speech, which deserved every Oscar it won, in my opinion. It’s the story of Prince Albert of York, second in line to the throne of England...
Read moreIt's All About the Timing
I love the AT&T flashmob commercial. I could totally be that guy: so into getting my part right that I totally lose track of everything around me. But the message of the commercial is clear: Timing is everything. I’m not sure there’s a better...
Read moreIt's Not About You
In college, my roommates and i used to watch classic, timeless movies. And by “classic and timeless,” I mean Arnold Schwarzenegger shoot-em-up action flicks. There was zero character development, and the plot was always pretty basic: bad...
Read moreWhen God is Silent
September 11, 2001 was a Tuesday. In New York as in Dallas, it was a sunny day, and it started off normal enough for most Americans. A little before 8am – just as I was settling into my cubicle – I got a call from my Dad, which was...

Read moreTrue Leadership
I’m a history nerd, and one of my favorite books is “The Mask of Command” by military historian John Keegan. In the book, Keegan compares several examples of military leadership styles, beginning with what he calls the “heroic” model of a leader...
Read moreSubmission is Not for the Faint of Heart
There are many upsides to having small kids. For me, one of the best is that I get to watch cartoons and animated films all the time. One of my favorites is The Incredibles, about a family of super heroes. Their super powers should sound...
Read moreAre You a World-Shaker?
And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything...
Read moreWould You Want to Know?
In the 2003 movie, Big Fish, a son tries to sort out truth from legend in order to discover more about his dying father. The son – played by Ewan MacGregor – feels like his Dad has lied to him all his life, telling him “fish tales”...
Read moreDissipation (Ephesians 5:15-21)
I think one of the most tragic words in the English language is “dissipation.” The image it brings to mind is waste. About a month ago, the Mississippi river reached record flood levels, and in order to limit the potential damage of all that...
