“WINNING”
October 19th, 2011
Hey everyone, This is Jay out on my EagleLaunch “cloud” and I just wanted to let you know from time to time I go into a creative lull. I am presently in one of those lulls and it happens. There are some things “brewing” as I will be writing a blog about dreams, 24 hours, [...]
Attach a plan to your “Yes or No”
October 13th, 2011
Proverbs 13:4, “The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.” (NKJV) (This is a continuation of “Yes or No”) A phrase I often say to myself is “the only thing separating success from failure is a plan reduced to writing.” Although having my [...]
Yes or No?
October 12th, 2011
Matthew 5:37, “But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’, and your ‘No’, ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.” (NKJV) I can remember many years ago sitting in my group therapy session during the early parts of my treatment center stay and the counselor asked us how we felt. The decade [...]
Trading Addictions
October 1st, 2011
I had a friend email me a question about a common behavior in the addiction/recovery community and that is the act of trading addictions.

Press On
September 29th, 2011
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
September 28th, 2011
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
September 24th, 2011
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. We live in a very “it’s all about me” society these [...]
The Ultimate Lifter Upper
September 21st, 2011
For the past few days I have had many blog topics come to me but I couldn’t blog them due to technical difficulties with my blog engine. I don’t believe in copying and pasting my blogs for a later date. I like for them to be fresh with very little editing (I’m sure you all [...]
Nothing to Prove
September 5th, 2011
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
September 2nd, 2011
This past week I had the opportunity to spend a couple of days doing what I like to do best from a professional standpoint, and that is to share my business experience, strength and hope with other business people in hopes of making a positive difference in their lives. On more than one occasion I [...]
