1 Corinthians 15:33, “Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for bad company corrupts good character.” Paul’s statement in the scripture above is so simple yet so true. As I’ve shared many times, I use my P.E.A.C.E. acrostic as a simple formula to keep me on a successful track in life. I know first…

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…
Life “refreshener”
Proverbs 11:25 “A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed” In the 25th verse of today’s Proverb, Solomon gives us a key ingredient in bringing “freshness” to others’ lives. He simply tells us to refresh others. When it comes to relationships with others where do you spend your time? Do…
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…

Balance?
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…
“Just Say NO to Doubt” in 2011!
James 1:6 “But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the the wind.” One of my favorite quotes is “any belief worth having, must survive doubt.” In most anything we do, how we handle our doubt makes a…
Growth and Winning
Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (NIV) My EagleLaunch-Thought For The Week, “Winners use the past to grow from, the future to grow towards and the present to grow,” came to…
The “narrow road” and Championships…
Matthew 7:13-14 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only few find it.” During my career as a high school and college basketball player I…
The other “F” word
2 Timothy 1:7 “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and self-discipline.” (NIV) Beginning in early 2009 I began struggling with a new calling I was receiving from God. At first I didn’t listen and blew it off as a “grandiose thought,” which is something…
