Whenever I am called to instruct a firearm certification class for prospective Armed Security Officers, I wonder what I will find when I get there. Carrying a gun for a living, and all the responsibility that comes with it, demands character, work ethic, self-control, a spirit of excellence, and...

On Monday after I got home from work, we decided we would do a family workout on the beach. It was a perfect evening for it and after some swim time, Ana, Cady and Emma did her sprint drills in the sand while Cole and Kwamane and I ran...

Emma joined me for this workout. She did her own program but she was there to cheer her daddy on. I love when our kids workout with Ana and I. They enjoy it very much and are always proud of their workouts, how sweaty they got, and how strong...

Pastor Alex Pappas just returned from a family vacation in Europe. He was there when President Trump was targeted for assasination and saw first hand how America and all that happens here impacts the rest of the world. And then he spoke to every believer driving home the truth...

A few days ago, my son Cole and I went fishing for the first time. Few traditions between father and son are more revered than the boy’s first attempt at providing sustenance. It has been a historic rite of passage for generations of sons who while staring tentatively yet...
