Right Now
February 27th, 2009
One of my favorite rock songs of all time is Right Now by Van Halen. Great tune with an awesome keyboard opening and powerful lyrics. One of the greatest causes of the death of dreams is procrastination and over-analyzation. I learned a long time ago if you are going to do something then do it! That is [...]
Great Thinking

“Walk with the wise and become wise, associate with fools and get in trouble.” These powerful words come from the book of Proverbs 13:20. When I read these words a week or so ago I thought to myself “one of the main differences in my life today compared to my life of addiction is the [...]

“Crawling” with a Purpose
February 7th, 2009
As I mentioned in my last post it is virtually impossible to consistently achieve worthwhile goals if we don’t take the time to prioritize our lives.

Running with a purpose…
February 4th, 2009
So how are the New Year’s resolutions going? I shared a couple of mine with you and so far I’ve been able to keep the promises I made to myself with the exception of starting on my book. I’m going to have to figure out a way to write in the morning because by evening my mind is [...]
