Tiny Words. Big Life.
A Daily Blog to Fill the Cup of Your Spirit... One Word at a Time.
What's the "Tiny Words. Big Life." blog all about?
First of all, it's built around my book by the same name. You can read more about the book on my Non-Fiction page.
Each day, I take the book's daily inspirational quote and write a short commentary about it's meaning.
Since all Tiny Words. Big Life. quotes deal with weighty issues that each of us face on daily basis such as faith, respect, wisdom, forgiveness, obedience, and love, you can be assured that they'll apply to you or someone you know.
In addition to the quote, each day is accompanied by a Bible verse(s) that provides a spiritual compass to emphasize the main point of the quote from the perspective of God's written word.
I invite you to check out the Blog. I'd be thrilled if you'd subscribe and receive updates from me that include the posts themselves as well as other things that I trust you'll enjoy and benefit from.
I hope you're blessed by reading it. I also pray for both you and I that we earnestly seek the perfect will of God to glorify His name throughout the earth. Amen.

1 Corinthians 15:35-38 Typically, when we think of sowing and reaping, we think of hard work and reward – something like planting a garden and then watching it grow from tiny seeds into something marvelous (and tasty). But like those that sow and reap, the terms can mean many different things. Let’s back away from…

You’ll never remain happy over something you bought and you’ll never remain sad over something you sold.
We spend a lifetime gathering stuff. Every day, the quest of getting more things continues. I don’t mean to suggest that wanting and having things is necessarily bad. We are certainly blessed to live in a country where this is possible. But with the blessing comes a curse. Or, at least the potential of a…
Read MoreRelationships are built like a sculptor carves a statue… if you keep chiseling in search of perfection, a leg will fall off.
If you picture this in your mind, it’s sort of humorous. Wouldn’t it be funny to actually watch a sculptor repeatedly tap and tap, seeking perfection, and then a leg falls off? Well, perhaps it wouldn’t be that funny, given the time and effort the sculptor has invested to make something he/she can be proud…
Read More“Striking while the iron is hot” can only be achieved if you built a fire when the iron was cold.
Wouldn’t it be nice if everything was easy? I think I could get used to that but I don’t think I would end up enjoying it very much. We all know the drill… Nothing that’s worth anything comes easy. Well, most of the time. And if it does, it turns out to be less amazing…

The jacket of your soul has very large pockets that will carry your life’s work to a very important meeting with a very important judge.
We probably don’t think of our soul being clothed very often. But in today’s Tiny Words. Big Life. post, I’m asking you to do just that… BTW, this is an audience participation post. Imagine your soul – after you’ve left this world. There you stand. You have no possessions. You have no physical body. In…
Read MoreThe sharp pain of confronting a fear is always less than the constant pain of living with it.
Which is worse, pain or fear? Well, neither one is good. They’re not something you’d say, “Hey, give me a double dose of both of them.” In short, we don’t like them. In today’s Tiny Words. Big Life. post, we’re suggesting that fear is painful. Does that mean it makes you go “Ouch!” No, you…
Read MoreThe measure of your word is ultimately determined by the value you place on it.
Many people trade the value of their word for the perceived reward of their selfishness. In other words, people lie. Have you ever known someone who would rather tell a lie than tell the truth? It’s like they’re incapable of telling the truth. Lies are one of the main tools of The Evil One. With…
