“Weighing” our words…
Proverbs 15:28, “The heart of the righteous weighs its answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil.” (NIV) I can remember sitting with a group of mentors/peers and one from the group said to the other, “Dan, you are always so quiet, what are you thinking?” Dan responded, “Oh you know there is a…
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…

Help!
Proverbs 11:14 (Holman CSB) “Without guidance, people fall, but with many counselors there is deliverance.” Today’s Proverb jumped out at me as I just celebrated my 23rd anniversary of sobriety on August the 9th. I always tell people that nothing great in life happens by doing it alone. I also know first hand that conquering…
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…
Beliefs
Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (NIV) In my years of helping others I have found that a person’s beliefs will eventually make or break them. From our beliefs we…
