Last night, approximately 300 people joined me at Habersham Cinema to view Fireproof. I must say I was challenged to take the "Love Dare". What is more, my commitment to my wife and family was powerfully reinforced.

If you have not seen the movie, or if you have not secured a copy of Love Dare, you should do both. You will find yourself emotionally moved and spiritually challenged.

I trust that my wife will find a better husband and my children will find a better father at home today. I plan to get to day 43...nobody says I have to stop.

I had the privilege of hosting my wife's family this weekend. My sister in law recently lost her husband to CJD. His death marks a turn in the road for all of us. As I talked with each member of our family, I was challenged afresh regarding the brevity of life. James 4:14 tells us that life is like a vapor that appears for a moment and then disappears.

Though we use the cliche "no one is guaranteed tomorrow," few of us really process just how frail life can be. Truthfully, it appears for a moment and then disappears. That knowledge has challenged me to...
Smell the roses today...tomorrow may not come
Re-prioritize my family...a family member may not be here tomorrow
Honor God will all my life...I may face judgment today
Have compassion on those in grief...their hearts are broken
