My pastor Mike Slaughter, whom I have much respect, did his annual “LIFE PURPOSE” message this weekend. He challenges us to look deeper and create a vision and mission for our lives driven by God. After the service last night a recovery friend of mind, Kathleeen, came up to me and asked me to pray with her. She was…
Category: P.E.A.C.E.
The acronym P.E.A.C.E. serves as a simple way to become the best you can be at everything you do.
Spirit Pleasing & Discipline = Eternal Life
There are days that I think discipline has become a four letter word in the United States. It seems as though we’ve become a society willing to depend upon other people, places and things in order to find health, wealth and happiness. If you don’t understand where I’m coming from watch the news. How about the lady that…
“Crawling” with a Purpose
As I mentioned in my last post it is virtually impossible to consistently achieve worthwhile goals if we don’t take the time to prioritize our lives. We become easily distracted if we haven’t claimed what is important to us (prioritizing). Keeping first things first is the most effective way to keep the priorities straight. Many years…
Running with a purpose…
So how are the New Year’s resolutions going? I shared a couple of mine with you and so far I’ve been able to keep the promises I made to myself with the exception of starting on my book. I’m going to have to figure out a way to write in the morning because by evening my mind is…
Leading Jesus Style
A friend of mine gave me the book “Prepared to Win” this past week. The book is a compilation of stories about the 1977-2008 boys state tournament basketball coaches of west central Ohio. As I was reading through the stories I came across a quote by one of the coaches who is an old basketball playing…
He will never forsake you…
Last night the weather report indicated we were in for a winter storm. We could expect rain, snow, ice and all of the above. People rushed to the grocery to get extra food. Most schools cancelled all activities for today because of the much anticipated storm. I like snow, I was excited because snowy days…
Community Part 2
There are two parts to the Community portion of the P.E.A.C.E acronym. The first part (as I wrote about 2 blogs ago)involves surrounding ourselves with healthy community and being willing to seek help from those in the community. The second part involves extending a hand in order to help others. In the recovery process we find as…
Community (Part 1)
Proverbs 13:20 “Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.” I love Proverbs. Solomon is so wise and I have this burning desire to become as wise as I can become. It was foolishness and folly that caused me to stumble years ago. The thing that scares me the most is…
Attitude
One of my favorite sayings to my kids has always been “you’ve got to control what you can control and your attitude is one thing you have control over.” A for Attitude is strategically located right smack dab in the middle of the P.E.A.C.E acronym. Attitude affects the outcome of almost everything we do. Studies…
Effort
As I noted a few months ago, I have this acronym P.E.A.C.E. which serves as a simple formula for success in the various roles that the good Lord has placed me in. I also mentioned that before implementing P.E.A.C.E., it is important to identify and prioritize your roles. Nothing creates more stress and havoc in a person’s life than to…
