The national theme for the Men and Young Men’s Alliance (COGOP Men’s Ministry) is “Aspiring Towards a Job-like Engagement.” The Old Testament character Job was certainly a good man engaged with his family, faith and community.

The Wall
As a father, I found myself asking the question of whether I’ve ever hampered, hindered or harmed the relationship with my son. Being a parent (and a naturally reflective individual), I look at my children and wonder how responsible I am for their temperament, success and hiccups. During one of my recent work commute devotions,Continue reading “The Wall”

High Performance
I love sports cars; and while researching vehicle performance I learned the following: Your vehicle can experience what’s called “glazing,” which is a build-up of carbon along the piston walls, which makes it difficult for the pistons to fire and operate correctly. To the driver, this will appear to be a power loss…. But theContinue reading “High Performance”
