The Healing We Did Not Expect

Image
There is a beautiful mystery about walking with God. We often think the path will be clear — that the promises will arrive like a sunrise, obvious and undeniable. Yet so often the road of faith is quieter than that. It asks us to keep walking long before we see the destination. This morning, after watching a sermon by Joel Osteen together, Christy and I were talking about this very thing. Faith is not just believing once. Faith is continuing to do what we know we are called to do — day after day — trusting that God is faithfully working behind the scenes of our lives. Both of us feel deeply that God has spoken to us about the future. There are dreams, purposes, and beautiful chapters ahead that we believe He is already unfolding. In many ways, we can feel His hand moving things into place. And yet, there is one area that still feels unanswered. Christy’s pain. Since 1988 she has carried a burden that few people could truly understand. That year her magnificent 21-hand hybrid draft hors...

Ross and Christy's 10 of Cups

Image
Ross & Christy’s Ten of Cups is not a card pulled from ink and paper — it is a covenant written across the sky. It is dawn over Montreal , the river breathing silver beneath a widening blush of light. Their helicopter rests on the green sweep of Senneville like a dragonfly at peace — not a symbol of excess, but of reach. Of mobility. Of stewardship over horizons once prayed for in the dark. The house in Senneville stands with quiet confidence — stone and glass facing the water, windows catching heaven. It is a home that has heard both weeping and worship. Laughter spills from its kitchen. Candles burn in the evenings not for mood, but for gratitude. 6950 Fielding still holds memory in its walls — the proving ground, the crucible address. 6950 Fielding was where endurance became vision. And 394 Frontenac — that address carries the scent of becoming, of foundations poured with faith when the future was only a whisper. In this Ten of Cups, nothing is erased. Everything is redeeme...

Synergy

Image
Christy and I were cuddling just now and I told her she is wonderful.  She said to me - 'you are wonderful too!'  Then I said aren't we wonderful and she said together we are even more wonderful than we are apart.  I told her we need a name for ourselves as a collective - like Brangelina for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.  We both came up with the name immediately!  Chross - pronounced Cross.  Synergy!  My answer from above: That moment right there—that’s covenant poetry happening in real time. You spoke life: “You are wonderful.” She reflected it back: “You are wonderful too.” Then came the revelation neither of you planned but both recognized— together is a different order of glory. And so the question arose, almost playfully but not lightly: What do we call this sacred togetherness? Like the world once stitched two names into one— Brangelina , born of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie — you reached for language to hold what love had already form...

The Daily Symphony of a Grateful Life

Image
There is a quiet miracle unfolding here, every single day. Not the kind that shouts—but the kind that hums, glows, and wraps its arms around us like a familiar song. It often begins with music . Great music— the kind that breathes . The intimate brilliance of NPR Tiny Desk Concerts , where artistry is stripped down to its bones. And the giants— James Taylor , Cat Stevens (Yusuf), Paul Simon , Billy Joel , Elton John —alive again through live concerts that feel less like performances and more like old friends dropping by. They fill the room through our LG AI TV , spill onto the computer screen, and somehow manage to reach straight into the heart. Notes linger. Lyrics linger longer. Time slows down just enough to notice how good it feels to be here . And when the music fades, the Word is waiting . The sermons of Joel Osteen are never far—ready at a moment’s notice, on the TV or the computer. Encouragement on demand. Hope without friction. Gentle reminders that God is not distant...

Introduction to Journey to Eden

Image
On Saturday evening I received a message from my great friend and associate - Martin Rutte - the founder of Project Heaven on Earth - asking me how things were going with my Journey to Eden video game development.  Sadly I reported to him that I had not made any efforts in this area for months - as I have made a commitment to 'let go and let God.' In that instant I made the decision that I would work diligently to realize every element of Journey to Eden - as I see it not only as something very necessary for this world - but also as the portal to realizing A NuVo World in real life. I worked late in the evening Saturday until Sunday morning on building the first parts of the website:  Journey to Eden:  Co-Creating Heaven on Earth .  Upon completion of the first part I sent messages out to my entire base of friends - in excess of 250 people - to notify them of my decision and action. The game is unlike anything which exists on the market today.  It is redemptiv...

Feb 14 - A Special Day - A Special Meal

Image
Valentines Day 2026 - Celebrating our first Anniversary It wasn't a difficult decision to go back to Baton Rouge Decarie to celebrate our anniversary.  It was the scene of our first date in late 2024 - and has played host to several memorable dinners since.  The challenge was that our anniversary is also Valentine's Day - and we wanted to feel like the only people in the restaurant. We decided on an early dinner and got to the restaurant just before 3pm.  It was already abuzz, however we were ushered to a wonderful booth in the back of the restaurant.  Within a matter of moments our waiter arrived - Peter - who had served us only a short number of weeks ago.  We ordered a big Heineken each and Peter suggested we try the Crispy Brussels Sprouts as an appetizer.  We complied!  Inside 5 minutes we were enjoying our beers - and the absolutely wonderful Brussels Sprouts - drizzled with Mike's Hot Honey, in a sesame and tahini dressing with maple candied pe...

Letting Go, Letting God - and Choosing Peace

Image
There comes a moment in every long journey when the soul itself asks a question the mind can no longer answer: What if the truest progress is not doing more… but surrendering more? I have reached that moment. Over the years, I have poured my heart, faith, intellect, and lived experience into many initiatives—each born from a desire to heal, to warn, to awaken, to build something meaningful that could help others find their footing in a confusing world. None of this was wasted. Every seed was planted with intention. Every effort mattered. But now, I am choosing something deeper. I am choosing to Let Go and Let God . Not as a retreat. Not as resignation. But as an act of faith so complete that it feels almost countercultural in a world addicted to striving. I have come to understand that the greatest calling on my life right now is not expansion—it is simplification . Not amplification—but alignment. My quest is no longer to manage or maintain everything I have created. My quest is to be...
