One of the challenges I have faced during my Christian/recovery walk is the willingness to allow God to have all of me. This means the good, the great, the bad and the ugly. It is hard for God to do his work through me when I am still holding onto old stuff. As most of…

How may I help you God?
I was talking with a friend the other day and shared the fact that I felt as though I hit a dry spell in my faith walk. No matter how many different ways I prayed and read scripture it was like God wasn’t listening or talking to me. I was seeking guidance about something in…
Listening takes action…
Proverbs 1:33, “But all who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm.” There are times in our lives where we think we are listening to God and we really aren’t. The litmus test can be found in the Proverb above. God promises us if we listen to him (wisdom) we…
God Blesses Obedience
Proverbs 21:3 “To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.” (NIV) A couple of weeks ago I caught up with a friend who is in recovery. He had sought help from me a little over a year ago and I hooked him into a place that has transformed…

Phillippians 4:4-9 “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.

My best friend gave me the best advice…
He said each day’s a gift and not a given right Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind And try to take the path less traveled by That first step you take is the longest stride If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late Could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would…
Stepping it up…
For years I knew who Christ was but I didn’t understand what he could do for me. Then when I finally believed what he could do for me, I wouldn’t let him do it. Then I was introduced to the 12 Steps which originated from Alcoholics Anonymous. The 12 Steps served as a way for…
What is life?
James 2:8-If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. Each week I email a “Thought For The Week” to my business teammates throughout the midwest. It is usually something simple, but more often than not it invokes personal reflection and thought, which is the…
