No rewind…

John 14: 1-3; “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me [...]
Why….not me?
April 9th, 2011
Philippians 3:6-7, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (NIV) I try to not follow the news these days. First of all it [...]
Lent 24/7
March 26th, 2011
Isaiah 58:2-11 (NIV) …the following comes from the mouth of the Lord through the prophet Isaiah… “For day after day they seek me out; they seem eager to know my ways, as if they were a nation that does what is right and has not forsaken the commands of its God. They ask me for [...]
Need Refreshed?
March 11th, 2011
Proverbs 11:25, “The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.” (NLT) I’m always thankful for my daily Proverb and this one jumped out at me this morning. If you are feeling like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and everyone is against you and/or not paying enough attention [...]
Random thoughts…
March 5th, 2011
I woke up this morning with several thoughts rolling through my mind. Most of them were about leadership and parenting. Since my kids are raised and I am now in the business of helping others become leaders, I thought I would share some personal words of wisdom in this blog. Great leaders… A great leader doesn’t [...]
What are Words?
March 1st, 2011
I only watch a couple of shows on television. I watch “The Office” in order to pick up leadership tips from Michael Scott and I watch “American Idol” because I love music and I love to watch people chase their dreams. This season has been one of my favorites and included a story about Chris [...]
this is how HE works…

1 John 3:18, “Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.” I can remember years ago, while living in my self-imposed hell because of poor decisions, looking to the Lord for a miracle. Maybe you’ve done something like that yourself. You know what I mean; raise your hands [...]
“Set Your Minds on Things Above”
February 24th, 2011
Colossians 3:1-2, “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on EARTHLY things.” Colossians 3:12, “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and [...]
Real Power
February 19th, 2011
Psalm 121:2, “My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!” This week has been one of those weeks, good stuff bad stuff, crappy stuff and great stuff. Just a normal “day in the life.” Yesterday I was struggling (mentally) with some health issues a couple of family members were dealing with. You know how [...]
Just “undo” it
February 14th, 2011
Proverbs 14:23, “Work brings profit, but mere talk leads to poverty!” (NLT) This past weekend I was at a business seminar and was blessed with the opportunity to listen to several inspirational stories. They all were presented in different ways with one common theme; nothing good in life will happen without focus and hard work. King [...]
