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…

The acronym P.E.A.C.E. serves as a simple way to become the best you can be at everything you do.
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…
Bad Company
1 Corinthians 15:33, “Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for bad company corrupts good character.” Paul’s statement in the scripture above is so simple yet so true. As I’ve shared many times, I use my P.E.A.C.E. acrostic as a simple formula to keep me on a successful track in life. I know first…

“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…
Why….not me?
Philippians 3:6-7, “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) I try to not follow the news these days. First of all it…
Listen…
Psalm 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations I will be exalted in the earth.” The other day I was doing a little coaching with someone who was frustrated over their current job. My job as a life coach is to not tell someone what they…
