I am currently sitting in a hotel room in Charleston on family vacation. Some would argue that I should not write a post this week and simply take advantage of some much needed time off. I, partially, agree with this statement and plan to enjoy my week away from the office, but I struggle with [...]
I love my kids. I have a four year old boy, a two year old girl, and a baby on the way. Our family is growing and I am in love. I count it a great blessing that God has chosen me and Erin to raise Gavin, Summer, and [insert name here] – we haven’t [...]
Where are we to stand? Do we stand on the right side of the fence or the left side? I have spent much of my adult life idolizing politics instead of truly thinking about people. I have spent much of my time, if I'm honest, leading with hate instead of love. This does not mean that I [...]
Today’s post is different. Today I simply wanted to offer some practical application for you to join the life movement. The next few lines will serve as an invitation and a challenge. I want to challenge you to support HOPE and the work we do day in and day out. I want to challenge you to think about [...]
I recently came across a story about a WWII hero. This man did not fly helicopters, carry a big gun, or lead a large military invasion. He was a simple man with a passion for life. A man that loved others more than himself. A man that refused to sit idly by while millions lost their lives. [...]

Baby showers are a time of joy and happiness. They are truly celebratory events. It is a chance for all of our loved ones to rally together in support of our child and our family. Sure, we receive gifts and necessities, but the true meaning behind the baby shower is to show love to a friend. [...]
Two years ago this past week, authorities raided the offices of Kermit Gosnell in Philadelphia. This raid began as a prescription drug bust, but turned into one of the most gruesome discoveries in the history of this country as officers in this raid saw far more than a drug ring. They were met with blood [...]
I am a thinker. My mind tends to wander on a regular basis. Most of the time my thoughts turn into questions. These questions often haunt me. They convict me. These questions weigh on my mind every single day. I think this is healthy, but oftentimes, if I am not careful, this healthy thought process reverts to a [...]
Hope Resource Center can be described as a number of things, but I can sum it up with one word…love. We love the men and women of this community. This is what ultimately led a group of people to open our doors in 1997, and this is what keeps these doors open today. We are [...]
