“Crawling” with a Purpose
As I mentioned in my last post it is virtually impossible to consistently achieve worthwhile goals if we don’t take the time to prioritize our lives. We become easily distracted if we haven’t claimed what is important to us (prioritizing). Keeping first things first is the most effective way to keep the priorities straight. Many years…
Running with a purpose…
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…
Thank God for the unseen…
Reading the newspaper and watching the news these days certainly causes someone like me to scratch my head and say what in the heck is going on? This morning I read 2 news articles and had to stop and do some scripture reading in order to maintain my sanity and serenity. First let’s talk stimulus…
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…

As infants and children our minds are programmed by the conditions we were raised in. As children our brains are fresh and very formative. The bad news is if…
He will never forsake you…
Last night the weather report indicated we were in for a winter storm. We could expect rain, snow, ice and all of the above. People rushed to the grocery to get extra food. Most schools cancelled all activities for today because of the much anticipated storm. I like snow, I was excited because snowy days…
Where is your Faith?
This morning I was reading Luke chapter 8 and was taken in by Jesus’ words “where is your faith?” He spoke these words to his disciples when they thought they were going to drown as they were caught in a nasty storm on a lake in a boat. Therse four (4) words are so powerful and…
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…
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas everyone! Remembering this day for what it truly means is a blessing for those of us fortunate enough to know Jesus. With that blessing comes responsibility to spread the Good News to others. As the new year approaches make a committment to yourself and God to spread the Good News whenever you can to…
