“The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.” ~Friedrich Nietsche I am preparing a presentation for a group of 5th and 6th…

Edge Time
If you haven’t figured it out yet, one of my new goals for 2012 is to try to provide a “nugget” of inspiration every day in order to help you stay on course toward achieving greatness in all aspects of your life. Hopefully you all know what my P.E.A.C.E. acrostic stands for. Many years ago…
PEG and an unconventional Winning Formula
Philippians 4:6-7, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (NIV) 1 John 5:5:, “Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who…
Competing for the Spirit
Galatians 5:22, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” I facilitated a business course last week and what a blessing it is to be able to interact with people who are both creative and driven to success. Â Whenever I teach this course at some point…
Idol Power
1 John 5:21, “Little children, keep yourselves from idols.” I was sharing with a group last night about the transformation that took place in my life several years ago. The transformation took place in a very subtle way and happened without me really knowing. Evidence in the transformation taking place appeared in my thought processes…
Answers to prayers for DUMMIES…
1 John 5:14-15 (NIV) “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us–whatever we ask–we know that we have what we asked of him.” Read the above scripture a few times and reflect on what…
Just a thought…
John 1:1-3, “In the beginning the Word already existed. the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He (Jesus) existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through Him, and nothing was created except through Him.” (NLT) I remember the first time I ever stayed at a Hampton Inn several years ago. Back…
Proverbs 4…It’s all about the heart…
This is my favorite Proverb as it really hits to the core and heart of my soul. …Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! (v.7) …If you prize wisdom, she will make you great. (v.8) …listen to me and do as I say, and you will have a long, good life. (v.10) …Take…
Defining our “vomit”
Proverbs 26:11, “As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his foolishness.” The 26th Proverb is a great lesson about fools and the 11th verse is a translation of one of my favorite quotes, “the definition of insanity is doing things the same way and expecting different results.” I don’t know about you,…
“Jesus is Just Alright”
He came, he experienced, he was exalted, he was rejected, he was denied, he was betrayed, he anguished, he wept, he thought about turning back, he was betrayed, he was beaten. he was whipped, he was abused, he was spit on, he was mocked, he was nailed to a tree and left for dead, he suffered…
