It’s often said that success hinges on knowing the right people or being in the place at the right time. However, I believe that true opportunity comes from being faithful, available, and obedient to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Instead of attributing events in your life to mere coincidence, embrace the journey be prepared for the incredible possibilities that await. Hold on tight, this ride is just beginning! 

Some years ago, I traded the technology fields of data communication for an agri-business career with family in the cattle industry in Southwest Kansas.  In seeking relief for my young family and I from the pace of life in a large metropolitan city, I would not have predicted the path before me.  But humility has a way of refocusing your journey.  Within a couple of years we would find our way past the hurdles and flourish where the Lord had blessed us. 

What followed was opportunity after opportunity to plug in to and serve the Lord.  School board member for six years, praise band member for twenty years, published two books and then wrote a column for a monthly publication for three years.  And now with my wife of 38 years, we will see our three adult kids who have families of their own, have a positive impact on those around them.

Be available.  God bless.
