One Way To Measure Success

I’m always honored, and a little mystified, when someone invites me to speak to a group. I’m honored because someone believes our story is inspiring or interesting enough to be worthy of the group’s time. I’m mystified because, well, it’s just me. As part of the FREEDOM Tour, I received perhaps my most curious speaking […]

Open

Happy Monday! Including others in the latest tour prompts today’s word-of-the-week… OPEN I know I diminish my relationships when I cling to material possessions. It’s all a gift from God to be held with open hands. Doesn’t mean I always live out that principle, but it’s clearly my goal. But what about less tangible items […]

Focus On One Word

I’m a simple guy who tends to make life complicated. On our recent FREEDOM Tour, the team got lost because I provided bad directions. I’d like to say I welcomed the challenge. “Hallelujah,” I exclaimed. “The Lord hath provided an opportunity for growth.” Yeah, right. The truth is, I was scared, and fear turned into […]

104 Degrees

I knew Praise Church in Pueblo would be special when Pastor Darron met us as we pulled into the parking lot. “We’re taking good care of your friend Jim.

Last week we celebrated Independence Day in the US. Two weeks ago our team rode more than 400 miles as part of Front Range FREEDOM Tour to raise funds and awareness to fight […]

What Can You Learn From A Yo-Yo?

Happy Saturday! I love watching people stretch limits. There’s something magical about a person finding his passion and pursuing it relentlessly. It’s the essence of art. BLACK is a yo-yo artist. Don’t judge or dismiss until you watch this short talk followed by a graceful, thrilling performance. Watch carefully—don’t miss the trick with the tablecloth. […]

Helmets Up!

Front Range FREEDOM Tour wasn’t a bike ride. Colorado offers plenty of serious bike rides. Ride The Rockies. Courage Classic. Triple Bypass. MS 150. Anyone searching for a hard-core, go-at-your-own-best-speed, put-your-head-down-and-get-cranking bike ride has lots of options. The FREEDOM Tour would have frustrated riders seeking that sort of experience. Our team cycled more than 400 […]
