Proverbs 12…P.E.A.C.E
The 12th Proverb touches on several aspects of effective living. It was easy to pull a verse and match it with each of the letters of my P.E.A.C.E. acrostic. As I’ve touched on several times in the past; successful people have a Plan, put forth consistent Effort to execute the plan, have an Attitude that believes…

“All I want from tomorrow…
is to get it better than today.” These are words from Huey Lewis and The News’ song ‘Jacob’s Ladder.” I can remember listening to the cassette tape of their album “Fore”…yes cassette tape…over and over once I got into recovery. The two songs I clung to were this one and “Hip to Be Square.” Jacob’s Ladder” reminded…

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…

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…
