Michael Phelps: Living in the Fast Lane!

Monday, August 18th, 2008

I have been thoroughly caught up in all that Michael Phelps has been doing at the summer Olympics in China. When he was only 15 years old, Michael Phelps competed at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, placing fifth in the 200m butterfly. The following year he broke the world record for the event, becoming, at […]

Preson Phillips: A Tampa Alternative

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

A couple of weeks ago I found myself reflecting on culture pubs while sitting at the King Corona Cuban Café in Ybor City. I was enjoying a Cuban sandwich with a guy I have been coaching. We spent a few hours talking as we listened to the heartbeat of the city.
Knowing the Heartbeat of Your […]

“‘Smiley’ Face, Happy Face!”

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

Yesterday, my youngest daughter and I were in our local ‘member’s shopping club’ and she kept asking me for a smiling face like her older sister gets. It reminded me of an article I wrote a few months back for  California Newspaper.  I have included it below. Enjoy!
This past week my daughter and I were […]

Making Rounds

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007

One of my former interns is now finishing his final year of Medical school. He recently told me that the part he enjoys the most is ‘making rounds.’  Interfacing with patients is the best way to quickly reach a proper diagnosis.  It also proves to be an integral part in process of healing.  Medical research […]

“We Are Sorry . . . Please Forgive Us . . .”

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Love Unreturned

Friday, February 9th, 2007

Over the past few months my three year old daughter has been saying, “When I grows up I’m going to marry my daddy.â€?  To be honest, I really liked hearing her say that.  One day her older brother was trying to explain to her that she wouldn’t be able to marry her daddy.  She got […]

Just coming through Father’s day has caused me to muse about “rearing” or “raising” kids.This Is what I am learning - the list I try to live by:
Have an eye to conversation with them everyday.    Even when your kids are little, let them feel that you are more interested in their little minds and situations […]

Tragic Son, Tragic Father

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

Some of the most facinating and instructive persons in the Bible are hidden away in places we might easily miss them. Give them a name that is vertually unknown in our time and they will more than likely be missed. Let their story be the kind that is at face value uncomprehensible and […]

Lessons From The Hunt

Friday, April 21st, 2006

After the MosaicRC Easter service lots of fun began! Our community of fiath, love, and hope planned to put on an egg hunt for the community of Rancho Cucamonga.  We believe that “Small things done with great love will change the world!â€? At Mosaic we also state, “The Church is not here to meet our needs. We are the […]
