James 2:8, “Come near to God and he will come near to you.” (NIV) James 2:10, “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.” (NIV) I was talking with a friend the other day and he shared with me his intent of focusing on hooking up with God the first thing in the…

The acronym P.E.A.C.E. serves as a simple way to become the best you can be at everything you do.
seek first to Understand
YOURSELF! This thought came to me as I was listening to a close friend share her most recent victory with me in her continuing quest to grow beyond the beliefs and bondage of her past. On more than one occassion I’ve talked about our beliefs and how they control our thoughts and our thoughts are the…
Another Season
Ecclesiastes 3:1, “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.” A couple of my blog followers have contacted me wondering if I am still alive as it’s been almost two weeks since my last blog. I am still alive and feeling pretty relieved right now. Over the last couple of…
It’s not Rocket Science
John 8:31-32, “Jesus said to the people who believed in him, ‘You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (NLT) Last week I played golf with my college basketball, assistant coach, Joe Campoli. He and I have always…
Why Humble?
Psalm 138:6, “Though the Lord is great, he cares for the humble, but he keeps his distance from the proud.” This is very powerful scripture written through David. In order to stay close to God we must humble ourselves. The best way this blogger with an ego that is just waiting to take things over…
“ITS”
Joshua 1:9, “This is my command–be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” A couple of days ago I received an email update from a dear friend who is fighting cancer. She is fighting a difficult battle and was quite candid in…
Proverbs 31…a great Proverb to end with
Proverbs 31:8, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless and see that they get justice.” (NLT) A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine sent me a text message and reminded me about a time in high school…
Proverbs 30…control
Proverbs 30:33, “As the beating of cream yields butter and striking the nose causes bleeding, so stirring up anger causes quarrels.” (NLT) Life is so much easier to live when we focus on what we can control and I’ve pretty much narrowed the “controllables” to our faith walk, our attitude and effort. Most of the…
Proverbs 28:27…give and never lack
Proverbs 28:27, “Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to poverty will be cursed.” (NLT) Ask anyone who helps the poor and they will tell you the blessings usually come back ten-fold. Even though we don’t give in order to receive, God always blesses us when we give. …
Proverbs 19…Who’s driving your life?
Proverbs 19:21, “You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.” This is one of my favorite Proverbs as it reminds me just how much control I really don’t have. I found out the hard way that it is much easier to swim with God’s current than against it and one way I…
