Here’s to another year!
This past Monday, I hit a milestone—my 1,000th mile in the pool. The journey began back in the spring of 2003 when I decided to compete in triathlons.
After my notable swim achievement, I paused to reflect, and one truth rose above the rest: we are living on borrowed time…sorry, not sorry for being “Debbie Downer.”
Cold hard facts…
When I started tracking my swim miles, I was 44. I’m now almost 67. At this pace, I’d hit 2,000 miles around age 90…ambitious, and maybe a bit unrealistic.
This year, I lost a couple of good friends far too soon, a sobering reminder that none of us knows how much time we have.
Good News…
The good news is that with Jesus, life doesn’t end here—it continues eternally —but He still calls us to make His world better while we’re still breathing air.
Take a hard look at how you’re living. Time is limited. Spend it doing what you love, with the people you love, and leave the world better than you found it.
Make 2026 your best year yet and…
Dream more.
Be more.
Live in the Light more.
and…
P.E.A.C.E. OUT TO 2025 and IN TO 2026
Purpose with a Plan
No matter how big or small, everyone has a purpose. Yours lives at the intersection of your passions and your gifts. Clarify your PURPOSE, then build a daily PLAN that helps you live it with excellence.
Effort
Purpose only comes alive through consistent, focused EFFORT. Great things don’t happen by accident—they are earned through disciplined execution.
Attitude
Belief fuels achievement. Your ability to live your purpose rises when you expect progress and refuse to quit. Your ATTITUDE determines your altitude—in every area of life.
Community
Nothing meaningful is built alone. The quality of your life expands with the quality of your COMMUNITY. You become the average of those you learn from, follow, and spend time with—whether in person or through books and teaching.
Energy
A purposeful life demands mental, physical, and spiritual ENERGY. Commit daily to rhythms that strengthen all three so you can show up fully and live on purpose.
