What you Must do in the Wake of DOMA
The truth is that our culture has never held up the Biblical standards that every Jesus-following Bible-believing Christian holds up.
It should come then as no surprise that yet another ruling took place by our government yesterday shaking up the core Biblical standard of marriage.
Who didn't see it coming anyway?
The Secret of the Blind Stick
Once in a while in the ER the nurses have trouble getting IV access.
After multiple failed attempts, I get called into the room.
The first thing I do is try to feel for a pulse in order to attempt an arterial stick.
3 Principles for Walking on Water
I want to walk on water.
In the middle of the storms of my life I want to get out of the boat and fly. And I want to live to tell about it!
Peter was just like us. He was imperfect, he was impetuous, and cocky and the only one of the disciples who ever walked on water.Read more
What then is our Mission?
Everyone worries about mission.
Make a mission statement, live out your mission statement, but whatever you do, have a mission.
Hours are spent debating mission and how best to influence the next generation. We need to create culturally relevant meetings. Out with old fashioned methods. It's a new day. Let's create a new mission to shake our world for Jesus Christ.

When you're Benched
I walk into the room after checking the Xrays and sit.
I look him straight in the eye and I say it.
It's broken. Your leg is broken.
Back to the Basics
Sometimes you just need to go back to the basics.
I woke up yesterday with this verse on my mind:
Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make straight your paths."
Your Dream is Not Dead
We all have dreams.
They propel us forward.
They keep us hoping.
They bring us joy.
Except when they seem dead.Read more
What Makes a Doctor Happy
Midway through my shift yesterday, I walked into a room for a suture removal.
Right before walking into the room I glanced at the demographics and noticed that it was the 7 month old girl I'd sewn up 5 days earlier.
I remembered her well. The family dog had mangled her face.
