Know When to say ‘NO’

Posted April 18, 2017 - Balance

You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage - pleasantly, smilingly, non-apologetically - to say 'no' to other things. And the way to do that is by having a bigger 'yes' burning inside. The enemy of the 'best' is often the 'good.

Are You Anyone?

Posted August 23, 2015 - Balance, Courage, Encouragement

Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. And this is what life really means.

— Robert Louis Stevenson —

  This quote by Stevenson is all about living in the moment. Tall order but really simple to do if you die to self first thing in the morning and allow God to live through you a day at a time.  And some days you may need to stop and start over. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Galatians 5:22,…
