So how are the New Year’s resolutions going? I shared a couple of mine with you and so far I’ve been able to keep the promises I made to myself with the exception of starting on my book. I’m going to have to figure out a way to write in the morning because by evening my mind is…

Leading Jesus Style
A friend of mine gave me the book “Prepared to Win” this past week. The book is a compilation of stories about the 1977-2008 boys state tournament basketball coaches of west central Ohio. As I was reading through the stories I came across a quote by one of the coaches who is an old basketball playing…
Deny Self + God = Success
I hope all of you are making New Year’s resolutions that will equate into successful living in 2009. For me, success is a continuous journey of setting and accomplishing predetermined worthwhile goals that make a positive impact on the world. Several years ago when I surrendered my life to Jesus I added the last part…
Let go AND GROW
Being in recovery and following Jesus has taught me many things. But one of the greatest gifts I have received is the ongoing willingness to grow. At some point in my recovery I finally figured out that “comfortable” meant I was being lazy and not growing. God would have another adventure in store and I would start…
Sowing and Reaping
Every year in November my pastor conducts a sermon series about finances. If you would like to listen to these great messages you can click the Ginghamsburg Church link in the right column and then click sermons. He does a remarkable job of explaining God’s vision for our financial future. Bottom line is God wants us to have…
Be Still
“Be still and know that I am God” Psalm 46:10. Taking time to be still every day is a key component of my recovery program. Years ago I was told about the importance of having a morning recovery program. What started as a quick prayer and a devotional read that took less than 15 minutes…
Truth is a process
Last week I wrote about honesty and how important it is to get honest with ourselves in order to be set free from our afflictions and addictions. I just read a post on my pastor’s blog where a person from another church said his church taught “the real truth.” This comment made me reflect on the…
Depression Proof
This morning one of my devotionals was from Psalm 91:1-2 “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.” We are facing the worst financial disaster since…
what’s your PLAN?
A few posts ago I wrote about my acronym P.E.A.C.E. Each day I ask the Holy Spirit to breath life into each part of the P.E.A.C.E acronym. He helps me with my Plans, he fuels my Efforts, he balances my Attitude, He helps me get along with and draw strength from the Community of people I…
Prioritize
I believe very strongly in having a life mission statement. In a previous post I mentioned how I use the acronym P.E.A.C.E. to help me fulfill my life mission a day at a time. My mission statement is pretty simple “To make a difference in God’s world in all of my roles and responsibilities.” During the mission…
