Matthew 16:25 “For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.” Fifty two years ago on this day, my Mom dropped my bare butt out of her womb and into the world, and yes Dr. Girouard was there to catch me, swat me on…
Thought For The Week
“There are basically two types of people in the world; complainers/consumers and contributors/difference makers. You can tell them apart pretty easily. The complainers/consumers suck the energy out of a room when they walk in and the contributors/difference makers inject energy into a room when they walk in.” –Jay Meyer Philippians 2:4, “Each of you should look…

Jeremiah 17:5-8, “This is what the Lord says: Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the Lord. He will be like a bush in the wastelands; he will not see prosperity when it comes. He will dwell in the parched places…
Character
Proverbs 10:9, “The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out.” Character and/or integrity is something we all have and is molded and shaped throughout life. The stronger our character, the better we are able to handle life and the realities that come with life. Simply stated, character is the…
Proverbs 12
Proverb 12:1 “Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.” (NIV) Solomon sure had a way with words. How is your discipline and knowledge these days? Reading a daily Proverb and choosing to act upon it is a great way to overcome stupidity…take it from me…I am still a work in progress; not quite…

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…

Looking for New Year’s Resoluters (sp?)
In a blog almost 3 months ago I told the “world” I was sold on the AdvoCare Nutritional products. After much research as well as personal experience and testimonials from others it is safe for me to say that AdvoCare is a solid company with products that work. Being a pharmacist, it was important for me to know…
Proverbs 1
It’s a new year and the first day of a new month and I just got done reading Proverbs 1. For years part of my morning discipline of prayer and devotion includeds reading the Proverb that corresponds with the day of the month. It always amazes me how many times I can read scripture from the…
