Philippians 3:13, “Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.” (NKJV) I’ve pretty much resolved myself to the fact that anything that causes me to be anxious or to worry is of the devil….

Process of Elimination
Ezekiel 36:26-27, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. I will place my Spirit within you…” I ran across this scripture the other day and reflected on how much my heart has softened over the…
me to WE
Years ago Rick Warren, in his bestseller, “Purpose Driven Life” told us in the first sentence of the book; “It’s not about me.” As an American it is a real challenge to not only read Rick’s words but to believe them and live them. Â We live in a very “it’s all about me” society these…

Victims and Victors
In life we have a choice whether or not we want to be victims or victors. A victim chooses to think “why me?†and stays stuck in his circumstance. A victor chooses to think; “why not me?†and makes the absolute most out of his life. A victim chooses to allow her attitude to be…
Everybody wants to go to Heaven…
…but nobody wants to die. I lost a good friend today. His death came unexpectedly and he leaves behind a wonderful wife and two beautiful children. Over the past several months I was blessed to have reconnected with my friend through a business relationship.  He was one of those guys I could go years without talking to and then…
Nothing to Prove
Philippians 2:3-4, “Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others.  Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.” NLT My third triathlon this summer was a 1/2 Ironman. This involves swimming 1.2 miles, biking 56 miles and running 13.1 miles all…
Ladders and Reality
