When I teach marketing to authors and business clients, I often cite the old marketing truth, “Love me, hate me, just don’t ignore me.” Simply put, when readers or shoppers love you, it’s good, you’re getting noticed. When they hate you, it’s good, you’re getting noticed. It’s the “Eh, whatever …” attitude that will kill a business or an author’s …
A Secret for Dealing with the Exasperating People in Your Life
Do you have anyone in your life that treats you poorly again and again in ways that makes no logical sense? I might be able to help you deal with it. But first—to set up my insight–I have talk a little Survivor (the TV show.) There’s a contestant on the show this season that is the epitome of treating people poorly. If …
Happy Birthday to Moi
Yep, today I turned thirty-nine AGAIN! (I love having an easily deluded mind.) As with every year, the past 12 months have had highs and lows. But do you really want to hear about the downers? Nah, and I don’t want to write about them. So here are a few of the highs: At the end of August, Darci and I …

Dad & Son Do a Backyard Video About Memory’s Door
My oldest son Taylor is a professional photographer/videographer, so we thought it would be fun to put together a short vid about my latest release, Memory’s Door. We feel pretty good about the way it turned out. Here’s to hoping you will as well.
Regrets, Memory’s Door, and a Kindle Fire Giveaway!
Regrets. We’ve all got them. With the release of Memory’s Door, one of the questions I’ve been asked over and over is, “How can we move past our regrets so that we can see the work God is doing in our lives?” My reply? Read Memory’s Door! But, seriously, that is the main question the book answers. Regret is about …
Rewiring Our Image of God
(I posted this a couple of weeks ago on 3 Men Walk Into A Blog, a blog I share with buds Harrry Kraus, and Dan Walsh, but I’m guessing most of you aren’t readers of that blog so I thought I’d share it here as well.) If you can do it, think of God unedited by how you’re supposed to see Him. …
Got Freedom?
(Posted on Christians Read this morning, but here tiz again if you don’t read that blog.) Do you? Have freedom? I think it’s an essential question if you’re a follower of Jesus. Because that’s why he came–to set us free. “He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free,” Luke …
I Can Finally Invite You To My House
Yes, it’s once again been forever and two days since I last posted. But now that I have brand spankin’ new website I’m going to start up again. Well, I never really started in the first place considering that my posts per year have averaged around three or four spread out over 12 months. The reason? Because when I built …
