1 John 5:14-15; “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.” Back in my basketball playing days I spent hours studying the art…

Whose Dream are you Living?
My recent EagleLaunch “Quote for the Week” came to me as I was preparing for this blog: Living a “reactionary” life creates a life subject to others’ dreams and goals. Be proactive and create a life subject to your own dreams and goals. This thought came to my mind as I was reflecting on a thought…
“Just Say NO to Doubt” in 2011!
James 1:6 “But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the the wind.” One of my favorite quotes is “any belief worth having, must survive doubt.” In most anything we do, how we handle our doubt makes a…
Growth and Winning
Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (NIV) My EagleLaunch-Thought For The Week, “Winners use the past to grow from, the future to grow towards and the present to grow,” came to…
The “narrow road” and Championships…
Matthew 7:13-14 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only few find it.” During my career as a high school and college basketball player I…
Dreams into reality…
As you may have noticed I have found a new toy that I added to the homepage of my website and that is a photo gallery. Of course my dear humble wife chuckled as she looked at the photos and mumbled something about “narcissism.” There is a method behind my “narcissistic madness.” One of the great gifts…
Excellence
Matthew 25:23, His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.” My EagleLaunch Thought For The Week; “Excellence is a dynamic, ever-evolving state created by those willing to continuously redefine and stretch their potential,” came to me as…
Possibility Thinking
“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.” (Proverbs 17:22 NLT) Recently I had an interesting discussion via email with some friends as we openly debated an issue relevant to the Christian community worldwide. It always amazes me how much can be learned from others through candid discussion. After this exercise…
The Final Step…Productive Effort
Ephesians 6:5-8; “Slaves obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were…
Smart Work + Hard Work = Diligent Work and Luck…More on Productive Effort
Proverbs 13:4; “The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.” (NIV) As I pointed out previously, putting forth productive effort takes more than hard work. In fact if we don’t avoid time wasters like excessive talk, excuses, setback paralysis and thinking we have all the answers, our work…
