Happy Monday! I took a really winding path to today’s word-of-the-week… BELIEVE Do you really believe what you believe? A guy told me a few days ago that the most important thing we can do is tell people the truth of scripture, especially when it hurts. I asked him to explain. He said people need […]

Pigs And Perfume
My dad had a lot of “sayings.” He seemed to have an adage for nearly any circumstance. Most were funny, many weren’t suitable for this blog or any other polite company. One of his favorites was “pouring perfume on a pig.” After he retired, Dad once served as an expert witness for an attorney in a […]

It’s never too late…or too early…to be thankful. This time I have something truly special to share with you. I hope you enjoy it. Please check out this post-Thanksgiving edition of Rich’s Semi-Regular Newsletter.

I don’t remember being this excited about sharing something with you. Monte and I made a cool new book promo with some extra-special music. Last year we chose Martina McBride’s “Anyway” as the Rich’s Ride theme song. I’m honored and humbled that my friend Kristin Orphan and her incredible band agreed to allow us to use this beautiful […]
Continue readingEver Been A Victim?
I have. I observed an all-too-familiar situation this weekend. The details don’t matter, but the principle is essential. It sounds like the lyrics to a bad country song. When you look around at where you are, the one thing you know for sure is…there you are. Circumstances just are. Perhaps we could have made better […]
Continue readingBooks!
Just in time for Cyber-Monday, I have another way for us to bring some people into the circle surrounding RICH’S RIDE. This one’s easy—you can pre-order a copy or three of RICH’S RIDE: Hope Changes What’s Possible. I’ve always been a reader, but I’m not sure I ever understood the real power of a book […]

Happy Monday! My desire to be part of our current unofficial national sport inspires today’s word-of-the-week… SHOPPING As a kid, I thought Thanksgiving involved some combination of food and football, and I never was quite sure which was more important. I’ve learned to value the “thankful” aspect of the holiday. But sometime Thursday afternoon it […]
Continue readingLet’s Connect
Last time I promised I’d ask for some help as we work together to expand and enrich the circle around RICH’S RIDE. So today I’ll use my spiffy little graphic to talk a little about connect and spread the word. Connect is about enhancing a conversation inside the circle. Please don’t think of this as […]
Continue readingA Thank You I Didn’t Intend To Write
This started as the kind of Thanksgiving post I thought I was supposed to write. I guess I let myself get sucked in occasionally by some self-imposed set of expectations. For some reason I had this idea that a Thanksgiving message “should” have a particular religious message. I don’t know where crazy stuff like that comes […]

Happy Monday! A random encounter with a radio dial brings me today’s word-or-the-week… MAIN You know how it works. You jump in the car, flip on the radio, and you’re inserted into whatever’s happening on that particular frequency. I arrived just in time to hear the guy proclaim, “The MAIN POINT in life is to […]

Our small group has been working through the book of Mark. It’s curious, because Mark relates incidents without a lot of explanation or background. If you don’t look carefully it can seem like a collection of isolated events. In Mark 10, Jesus wanders around Judea with His disciples. He does a few miracles, heals some […]

I posted this video over at RICH’S RIDE yesterday. I want to share it here because it’s really about a lot more than a bike ride and I’d like to hear your thoughts. I also included the “subscribe” button below for the RICH’S RIDE blog. I want to encourage you to consider clicking. I know […]
