May 17th, 2011
Proverbs 18:2, “Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions.” One of my favorite personal development books is “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” by Stephen R. Covey. Covey methodically goes through 7 Habits he has observed in all people who are highly effective. The 5th Habit is; [...]
What’s in your soil?
April 21st, 2011
Read Mark 4:1-20 I read the scripture above from the book of Mark during my morning devotion. Whenever I read this scripture, I marvel at how well Jesus paints the picture of the importance of doing things the right way. In essence he tells us we not only will reap what we sow, but the type of fertilizer [...]
Bad Company
April 16th, 2011
1 Corinthians 15:33, “Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for bad company corrupts good character.” Paul’s statement in the scripture above is so simple yet so true. As I’ve shared many times, I use my P.E.A.C.E. acrostic as a simple formula to keep me on a successful track in life. I know first [...]
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 [...]
Life “refreshener”
February 11th, 2011
Proverbs 11:25 “A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed” In the 25th verse of today’s Proverb, Solomon gives us a key ingredient in bringing “freshness” to others’ lives. He simply tells us to refresh others. When it comes to relationships with others where do you spend your time? Do [...]
Turn some pages…
February 10th, 2011
Proverbs 10:4 “Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.” (NIV) My January 31, 2011 thought for the week “so if you’re tired of the same old story, turn some pages” is a line from REO Speedwagon’s song, Roll With The Changes. Check this link out for a beautiful acoustic rendition of their [...]

Balance?
January 8th, 2011
John 14:27 (NLT) ”I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give isn’t like the peace the world gives. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” In the scripture above, Jesus is talking to a disciple explaining how he will leave believers with a gift (the Holy Spirit) once he [...]
“Just Say NO to Doubt” in 2011!
December 31st, 2010
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 [...]
