There is the Fool’s Way and then there is the way of the disillusioned ‘Sensible Man’ of handling those things in life that lose their novelty. Remember from Mere Christianity, by C.S. Lewis, when he wrote. “There was something we grasped at, in that first moment of longing, which just fades away in the reality.” “Now there…
There is the Fool’s Way of handling those things in life that lose their novelty. Remember from Mere Christianity, by C.S. Lewis, when he wrote. “There was something we grasped at, in that first moment of longing, which just fades away in the reality.” “Now there are two wrong ways of dealing with this fact,…
This past week marked a major milestone for Eye Need Hope. We’ve just announced our first conference. What?! That’s right on June 6th, from 9:00-12:00 we will hold our inaugural event. This makes the writings C.S. Lewis ring even more true. Here’s the second paragraph from the “Hope” chapter. “Most of us find it very…
My passion for inspiring others to have HOPE and helping them OVERCOME adversity has impacted many lives already. The largest impact has been to my own life.

At church today we read the list of people that have passed during the last year and another list of other notable deaths. For the third time, I can’t tell you how glad I am that my name wasn’t on that list. It puts a charge in me to get to work. It’s as if…
Not a day goes by that I don’t think of other things that I’d like to tell you. There are only so many hours in the day. That, and I have another speech to give tomorrow. 🙂 It’s one of the good things that has come from my adversity. There 4 primary types of adversity…
