Go Find a “Rose Guy”
December 4th, 2010
Psalm 139:14 “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” (NIV) At the end of the Main Street/Grand Ave. exit off of Southbound Interstate 75 in Dayton, Ohio stands a man who sells roses for a living. On more than one occasion, I’ve stopped and conducted business with him. There is a place in my heart for [...]

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he (Christ) said to me (Paul), “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (NIV) James 2:17 “In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” (NIV) A couple of weeks ago a friend met with me after [...]
Help!
August 11th, 2010
Proverbs 11:14 (Holman CSB) “Without guidance, people fall, but with many counselors there is deliverance.” Today’s Proverb jumped out at me as I just celebrated my 23rd anniversary of sobriety on August the 9th. I always tell people that nothing great in life happens by doing it alone. I also know first hand that conquering [...]

Philippians 4:11-13 “I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well [...]

Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (NIV) In my years of helping others I have found that a person’s beliefs will eventually make or break them. From our beliefs we [...]
It’s not what you know…

it’s what you do with what you know. Jesus and the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector (Luke 18:9-14 NIV). To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the [...]

“Proverbs 25:28; “Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control.” (This is a continuation from my previous blog about the two steps in achieving a new goal; start and continue. The next several posts will deal with what it takes to continue.) Has the following scenario ever happened to [...]
“Wired” to be a Blessing
November 23rd, 2009
Proverbs 19:17 “If you help the poor, you are lending to the Lord and he will repay you.” There are hundreds of verses in the Bible pertaining to loving our neighbor and helping others. The Lord not only tells us to love and help others but he “wired” us to be a blessing to others, [...]
“The farther one travels…

the less one knows.” These are the words of George Harrison in the Beatle’s song “The Inner Light.” They came to me as I was reading Proverbs–”A truly wise person uses few words; a person with understanding is even-tempered.” (17:27 NLT), “Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions.” [...]
