From 2005 to Eternity

Day 165 — Sunday, June 14, 2026 Story — Stepping Into a New Week With God’s Word and an Open Hand God’s Word got him through a full and challenging week. As has been evident in each day’s post, God showed up every single day — carrying, guiding, and helping finish last week strong. That faithfulness is not lost on him as he steps into this Sunday, with a fresh reading from Isaiah and a fresh…

Day 164 — Saturday, June 13, 2026 Story — When the Praise Walk Becomes the Sermon: A Saturday Morning of Tears, Neighbors, and the God Who Arranges It All Saturdays have their own kind of quiet. The week does not end so much as it exhales. And this particular Saturday exhaled differently than the mornings that preceded it — no early training session to prepare for, no tight agenda demanding…

Day 163 — Friday, June 12, 2026 Story — Carried to the Finish Line by the Encouragement and Momentum God Built All Week Fridays have a feeling. Not the coasting kind — not the clock-watching, check-out-early kind — but the kind that only comes when a full week of leaning on God rather than self has built real momentum. That is exactly where this morning found him. He woke to the familiar…

Day 162 — Thursday, June 11, 2026 Story — Choosing the Present: Living in the Gift of Today Yesterday came and went — and it came with a full day. A great training session. Two visits to the house to inspect what had happened. A lot of ground covered. But here is the thing: it is yesterday. It is gone. He cannot go back to it, dwell in it, or get stuck in it. He can learn from it. He can look…

Day 161 — Wednesday, June 10, 2026 Story — Do What You Know to Do: Turn to God When the Way Is Unclear Ever considered when there is an obstacle, a challenge, an opportunity in front of you — what do, or will, you do? What if you aren’t sure or don’t know what to do? What do you do when you don’t know what to do? There’s a message that has stayed with him for years, one that speaks directly to…

Day 160 — Tuesday, June 9, 2026 Story — Surrendering a Busy and Important Week to God The morning arrived with rain on the roof and a cool, grey sky hanging over the neighbourhood. Before his feet even hit the floor, he paused to pray over his wife and kids — committing them, the day, and the week ahead into God’s hands. With earbuds in and the Word already playing, he headed outside to roll…

Day 159 — Monday, June 8, 2026 Story — Abiding Before Doing: Starting the Week in God’s Presence Waking up on a Monday morning with a long to-do list pressing in from every direction is a familiar feeling. But this morning, before the week gets started, before the tasks get tackled, before the emails get answered and the calls get made, something more important calls for attention. Being with…

Day 158 — Sunday, June 7, 2026 Story — Twenty-Nine Years of Faithfulness: Trusting God for What Is Still to Come Twenty-nine years ago, God answered a prayer that had been quietly forming in a young man’s heart long before he fully understood what he was asking for. Back in the summer of 1993, God sovereignly brought a beautiful woman to a university — and even to the same residence — so that…

Day 157 — Saturday, June 6, 2026 Story — Choosing Her: A Date Day, an Anniversary Eve, and the Gift of a Lifetime It is Saturday, and the alarm was never needed. The gift of sleeping in a couple of extra hours was enough to signal that today is not just another day — it is a day set apart. Tomorrow is their anniversary. Twenty-nine years of marriage, twenty-nine years of God’s faithfulness…

Day 156 — Friday, June 5, 2026 Story — When God Speaks Through a Shepherd, a Song, and Still Waters God has a way of connecting the dots in ways that no one could plan on their own. One of those connections goes back to a camp — a moment in the final hours of a gathering where a man named Sam stood up and said something so simple it could have been overlooked: if you remember nothing else,…

Day 155 — Thursday, June 4, 2026 Story — Seeking God’s Wisdom When the Risks Are Known and Unknown Ever tried to manage a project and then come up with risks? There are known risks and unknown risks. The known ones can be planned around — mitigation strategies put in place just in case something happens. The unknown ones are different. Are they known unknowns, the kind that could be…

Day 154 — Wednesday, June 3, 2026 Story — Humpday, Holy Spirit, and the Stewardship of Every Hour Heading into Wednesday — or as some like to call it, Humpday — the idea of time comes to mind. Tuesdays and Wednesdays tend to be longer days with evening schedules packed with things like Be The Dads, Grow Nights, or First Wednesdays. Even though there is but a fixed amount of time in a day — 24…

Day 153 — Tuesday, June 2, 2026 Story — Seeking God’s Wisdom Before the Day Demands an Answer There is something significant about what happens before the day officially begins. Before the acceptance testing, before the Be The Dads gathering, before the questions that don’t yet have answers — there is the choice of where to turn first. This morning, he woke a little earlier than expected,…

Day 152 — Monday, June 1, 2026 Story — From Information to Transformation: Putting God’s Word Into Practice Ever considered how much information is available to us? Ever considered that just because we know something doesn’t mean we are transformed by it? Real transformation requires that information move from our heads into our hands and feet — from hearing into doing. We need to go beyond…

Day 151 — Sunday, May 31, 2026 Story — When God Redirects the Plan, He Never Derails the Purpose Yesterday ended on an incredible note after a start that had held so much uncertainty. The core team had done a great deal of work planning and preparing for an all-day training, and yet situations and circumstances arose that could have derailed everything. But God showed up. The core team stepped…

Day 150 — Saturday, May 30, 2026 Story — A Grateful Heart: How a Godly Wife Changes Everything This morning he woke up with one word on his heart — gratitude. Not the kind that shows up when things go perfectly, but the deep, settled kind that comes from looking back across years and seeing the fingerprints of God all over a life that could have turned out very differently. Before his feet hit…

Day 149 — Friday, May 29, 2026 Story — Finishing Strong When It Counts: Trusting God Over Self at the End of the Week What does finishing strong actually look like? Is it the image of a runner reaching down into a reserve of energy that nobody knew was there, legs churning, lungs burning, pushing past the invisible wall to break the tape? Is it about raw effort — that extra ounce of willpower…
