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…

Proverbs 11…the gift of giving
One of my favorite recovery sayings is, “you can’t keep what you have unless you give it away.” One of the best ways to stay sober is to help others get and stay sober. It is so amazing how we grow thru the giving of our time, treasures and talents. God wired us to give. Let’s face it, have…
Proverbs 10…words
A worthwhile exercise I always suggest for my coaching clients is to develop a vision statement for their life. The vision serves to keep you on course and helps ensure time is not being wasted on “nonvision” activities. Having a vision statement allows you to step back from whatever you are doing and ask yourself,…
Proverbs 6…effort
Proverbs 6:6-11, “Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise! Though they have no prince or governor or ruler to make them work, they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter. But you, lazybones, how long will you sleep? When will you wake up? A little…
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…
Failing Forward
Proverbs 24:16, “The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again” A few weeks ago I was giving my testimony to an adult Sunday school class and when I was finished I was fielding some questions. One person asked me how I handled failure in my life. I told her “failure is a…
Wise Living…pretty simple
Proverbs 29:11 “Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back. …simply some food for thought…are you a fool or wise? I’ve been on both sides of that coin and can tell you choosing the “wise” route is much better for all parties involved. Anger drains energy and creates a general loss of focus…
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…
What’s in your soil?
Read Mark 4:1-20 I read the scripture above from the book of Mark during my morning devotion. Whenever I read this scripture, I marvel at how well Jesus paints the picture of the importance of doing things the right way. In essence he tells us we not only will reap what we sow, but the type of fertilizer…
