2 Corinthians 12:9 But he (Christ) said to me (Paul), “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (NIV) James 2:17 “In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” (NIV)Â Â A couple of weeks ago a friend met with me after…

The acronym P.E.A.C.E. serves as a simple way to become the best you can be at everything you do.
Doing what “it” says = Serenity
James 1:22 “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” One of the greatest tools I was given in the infant stages of my sobriety was the serenity prayer:    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change (other people, places and things), the courage…
The other “F” word
2 Timothy 1:7 “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and self-discipline.” (NIV) Beginning in early 2009 I began struggling with a new calling I was receiving from God. At first I didn’t listen and blew it off as a “grandiose thought,” which is something…
Smart as a tree…
Hebrews 12:1 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily hinders our progress. And let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us.” The other day…
Excellence

You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.” My EagleLaunch Thought For The Week; “Excellence is a dynamic, ever-evolving state created by those willing to continuously redefine and stretch their potential,†came to me as…
The Divine Blocker
Last night our beloved Ohio State Buckeyes opened with a dominating win over Marshall. I’ve always been a Buckeye fan but I especially enjoy watching them when they have someone on the team I feel a connection to.  Over the past 4 years our family has been rooting and pulling for Brandon Saine, the versatile…
Replacing Stupid with Christ
Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me…” The other day I was talking with a group of Christians and shared with them the fact that accepting Jesus would indeed save their souls but it would not save them from “stupid.” I got a mixed…
Help!
Proverbs 11:14 (Holman CSB) “Without guidance, people fall, but with many counselors there is deliverance.” Today’s Proverb jumped out at me as I just celebrated my 23rd anniversary of sobriety on August the 9th. I always tell people that nothing great in life happens by doing it alone. I also know first hand that conquering…
Keep the light switch “ON”
Matthew 5:14-16 (NIV) “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men,…
Heart Check
“For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12 (NIV). Throughout my career as a businessman and also as an athlete I often found myself using the phrase…
