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…
“Weight” management
Proverbs 21:20, “In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has.” Matthew 6:11-12, “Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” I would estimate well over 1000 people in the Miami Valley have participated in…
A Sad Day…22 years ago
1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” (ESV) On this “Super Bowl Sunday” back in 1989, Lori and I along with Jason (5), Jordan (3) and Michelle (1) were excited and having our own Super Bowl party as our Bengals were making…
PR 410
Over the last several years I must confess that the car I drive has “reminder license plates” attached to them. Most people refer to them as vanity plates, but for me I choose to utilize them as reminders.  The first time I bought a pair of reminder plates was in 1998. The plates simply read…
Avoiding “negative come arounds”
Proverbs 2:1-5, “My son if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,…
RE-birthday and 30/22…
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…
This “Jesus thing” and turning on the Pilot light…
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…
