We took my dad to see the Alamo today. It made me think about the history of this great city of San Antonio. These brave men and women fought for what they believed in. They had people from all across the country come to defend and unite as one. They had a common goal, and stood by it.

This goal would ultimately lead to death but it sparked a fire that turned a nation around. That’s truly something amazing. They didn’t back down from what they believed in the face of adversity. To this day, “Remember the Alamo” is a powerful statement.

What is your Alamo for 2020? What is your goal this year and are you ready to lay your life down for it? Of course I’m talking about a goal that is bigger than a New Year Resolution. It is something that will take a few days to truly think about.

We smiled for the camera and had some laughs today as we pretended to be tourist, but so many years ago the same place we stood people gave up their lives for what they believed. For their Alamo.

My Alamo is my family and my faith for 2020. Family in the sense of keeping them front and center above any career decisions, hospital concerns, or financial craziness. Faith in the sense of keeping my eyes on Jesus as He tells me to step out of the boats this year. What is your Alamo for 2020? What is your place where you will draw the line in the sand this year?
