Matthew 22:37-40 “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” As we approach the most…

Go Find a “Rose Guy”
Psalm 139:14 “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” (NIV) At the end of the Main Street/Grand Ave. exit off of Southbound Interstate 75 in Dayton, Ohio stands a man who sells roses for a living. On more than one occasion, I’ve stopped and conducted business with him. There is a place in my heart for…
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…
“Why’s?”
Psalm 57:7 “My heart is confident in you, O God; my heart is confident. No wonder I can sing your praises!” (NLT) A few days ago I was talking with a young father as he shared openly about the challenges he has experienced with having a developmentally disabled child. He knew I could relate because…

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…
Keep the light switch “ON”
Matthew 5:14-16 (NIV) “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men,…
Heart Check
“For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12 (NIV). Throughout my career as a businessman and also as an athlete I often found myself using the phrase…
No Eggs
Philippians 4:11-13 “I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well…
