For Our Educators
This time of year, I’m always aware of the preparations teachers go through as a new school year begins. Our daughter, Reagan, has been in education for 26 years. Along the way, she enlightened us about all of the hard work required of our educators behind-the-scenes — work that most of the general public isn’t […]
Praying for Others
Are you praying that the people dear to you will turn their hearts to Christ? Years ago, I learned about the effectiveness of praying with words straight from the Bible. During my morning walks I prayed for the neighbors inside each house using the words of 2 Corinthians 10:3-5. In the first two verses, we […]
11 Countries and We’re Not Done Yet
Recently, I announced the translation of our entire online course of The Heart Healer to Spanish. El sanador de tu corazón is not only ready – it is already in use! I am so in awe of God and the multiple doors God is opening! I wish you could have joined me as I met […]

A Personal Message
I’ve waited a very long time to write this message. You may know me through my book, The Heart Healer; but I have also presented messages about our four basic personalities and relationships, in business settings and to church groups, for over thirty years.

Shannon’s departure
When we first returned to Texas after several years in Los Angeles, one of our California daughters came for a brief visit. As much as we loved returning to our home state, thoughts of my disconnect with our family members in California had been difficult to process during the previous weeks. I had grieved and […]
His Story Will Change His Family
Last night I received a call from a friend, Richard, whose story was told in The Heart Healer. He and his wife graciously agreed to review the Spanish translation as it is Richard’s first language. As they read the Spanish version of his story, Richard began to cry tender tears of joy. His story paraphrased from The Heart Healer: […]
No Perfection
Too often, I get bogged down in blogging perfection. Why wait to craft the perfect words when just a simple conversation with you will do? Lately, I’ve thought a lot about who God is and what He is able to do. “He who forms the mountains, who creates the wind, and who reveals his thoughts […]
When You Don’t Have the Words
As I listen to the Santa Ana winds blow outside my office window in Los Angeles, I’m reminded of God’s remarkable creation. Yet, with all He has going on, because He is God, He is able to simultaneously pause to listen and respond when His people pray. Recently, I received this message from a young […]
