I woke up this morning with several thoughts rolling through my mind. Most of them were about leadership and parenting. Since my kids are raised and I am now in the business of helping others become leaders, I thought I would share some personal words of wisdom in this blog. Great leaders… A great leader doesn’t…

What are Words?
I only watch a couple of shows on television. I watch “The Office” in order to pick up leadership tips from Michael Scott 🙂 and I watch “American Idol” because I love music and I love to watch people chase their dreams. This season has been one of my favorites and included a story about…
this is how HE works…
1 John 3:18, “Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.” I can remember years ago, while living in my self-imposed hell because of poor decisions, looking to the Lord for a miracle. Maybe you’ve done something like that yourself. You know what I mean; raise your hands…
“Set Your Minds on Things Above”
Colossians 3:1-2, “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on EARTHLY things.” Colossians 3:12, “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and…
Real Power
Psalm 121:2, “My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!” This week has been one of those weeks, good stuff bad stuff, crappy stuff and great stuff. Just a normal “day in the life.”  Yesterday I was struggling (mentally) with some health issues a couple of family members were dealing with. You know how…
Just “undo” it
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…
Turn some pages…
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…
“Weight” management
Proverbs 21:20, “In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has.” Matthew 6:11-12, “Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” I would estimate well over 1000 people in the Miami Valley have participated in…
A Sad Day…22 years ago
1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” (ESV) On this “Super Bowl Sunday” back in 1989, Lori and I along with Jason (5), Jordan (3) and Michelle (1) were excited and having our own Super Bowl party as our Bengals were making…
PR 410
Over the last several years I must confess that the car I drive has “reminder license plates” attached to them. Most people refer to them as vanity plates, but for me I choose to utilize them as reminders.  The first time I bought a pair of reminder plates was in 1998. The plates simply read…
