Keeping Focus

January 1, 2021January 1, 2021 toddporterNo Comments

My pastor shared a version of this Chinese parable on Christmas Eve and I have been thinking about it ever since. There was once a farmer in ancient China who owned a horse. “You are so lucky!” his neighbors told him, “to have a horse to pull the cart for you.” “Maybe,” the farmer replied. […]

Which Way Do We Go?

September 15, 2020September 15, 2020 toddporterNo Comments

It is amazing how time flies. There has been so much that has happened lately and I feel like I am in a bit of a whirlwind. However, it is not a bad thing because I feel like things are going very well. It was interesting that I ran across a recent blog post I […]

Thank Full

November 28, 2019November 28, 2019 toddporterNo Comments

The dictionary defines thankful as feeling or expressing gratitude; appreciative. What is interesting is that at my church where Kim and I have been helping out with Players Box, which is a program designed to free students to love academics, arts, and athletics. One of the challenges we gave the students was to every day […]

Fitting Into My Type

November 14, 2019November 14, 2019 toddporterNo Comments

For the past few months, I have been doing some reading and self-discovery about the Enneagram and finding my type. There are so many personality types out there that it is hard to figure out which one is best. The thing I like best about the Ennegram is that the focus is not on just […]

Aggressively Playing

October 17, 2019October 17, 2019 toddporterNo Comments

I recently listened to the Play And Purpose series at Crossroads Church here in Cincinnati and it has me really reflecting on things. To add to it I feel like Brian Tome‘s The Aggressive Life podcast also hit on very similar subjects. So the past week or so I have had a lot of introspection. […]

Blowing The Dust Off

September 17, 2019September 17, 2019 toddporterNo Comments

It has been a long time since I last used my blog. Over a year and a half if you were wondering. I even changed the web address from thesnuffy.com to iamtoddporter.com since I have “rebranded” myself on social media that way as well. The last year and a half have been a busy one […]

The Least of These

January 16, 2018September 15, 2019 thesnuffyNo Comments

“Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him. To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.” When […]

A New Year’s Benediction for 2015

December 1, 2015September 14, 2019 thesnuffyNo Comments

I posted this several years ago and wanted to post it again as 2015 comes to a close. A Franciscan Benediction: May God bless you with discomfort,at easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships,so that you may live deep within your heart. May God bless you with anger,at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people,so that you […]

To My Daughter On Her Graduation Day

June 2, 2015September 14, 2019 thesnuffyNo Comments

The day you were born is one that I will never forget because it changed my life forever. I had no idea that this little girl all swaddled up in a blanket that I was holding in my arms would grab a hold of my heart like she did and has. Life would never be the […]

I Feel Like I Have Been Here Before

May 6, 2015September 14, 2019 thesnuffyNo Comments

Sometimes I feel like I am just stuck in a roundabout like Chevy Chase was in European Vacation just saying, “look kids, Big Ben… Parliament”. We have been house hunting for about a month now and it just seems like when we think we found the right place something happens and we don’t get the […]
