Four lessons from Michael Jackson’s This Is It

One of my fondest memories of college life involves my own dirty laundry. I’ll never forget doing laundry in the basement of Holloway Hall, the dormitory I called home at West Virginia Wesleyan College. Between loads, I’d sprint to the break room to catch Michael Jackson’s Thriller video on the big, bulky TV. The synchronized dance sequences left this wannabe entertainer mesmerized. Over the years, I became less thrilled with the King of Pop and more enthralled with the King of Kings. Then recently, the Facebook chatter about Jackson’s This Is It DVD piqued my curiosity, so I rented the […]

Peering out my 18th-floor window at the Denver Grand Hyatt, I was delighted to see a fresh layer of snow blanketing the city. Ah, what a welcome sight for a perennial Floridian. I can’t recall the last time I awoke to the sight of the fluffy white stuff sprawled across the ground. It was the final day of the Jerry Jenkins Christian Writers Guild conference. After four days of sitting in hotel conference rooms listening to intense seminars and speeches stretching my mind and imagination, I was hungry to get a glimpse of the majestic Rocky Mountains, another rare sight […]
