“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…
Whose Dream are you Living?
My recent EagleLaunch “Quote for the Week” came to me as I was preparing for this blog: Living a “reactionary” life creates a life subject to others’ dreams and goals. Be proactive and create a life subject to your own dreams and goals. This thought came to my mind as I was reflecting on a thought…
“Just Say NO to Doubt” in 2011!
James 1:6 “But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the the wind.”  One of my favorite quotes is “any belief worth having, must survive doubt.”  In most anything we do, how we handle our doubt makes a…
Just Doing “It” for God
Proverbs 16:9 “A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps.” As I was reading my daily Proverb the verse above jumped out at me and said “blog me.” So I did. One of the biggest challenges of living a life for God is to make certain that the direction we take in life…
“Bound” to continue…

The next several posts will deal with what it takes to continue.) Has the following scenario ever happened to…
Break free from your SHELTER…
2 Timothy 1:7; “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (fear), but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.” (NIV) The other day my wife was looking out the back window of our home observing our new “rescue dog” Boyd sprinting across the yard having fun with his “brother” Onyx….
“Fixing” our gaze…
Proverbs 4:25-“Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you.” Years ago, when I returned home from my 5 week stay in a chemical dependency center, I hooked up with my first sponsor. I remember this like it was yesterday because what he did that day, though it seemed small to him,…
Spiritual ADHD
Proverbs 1:33-“But all who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm.” (NLT) For years I have had to learn how to handle my very “active” mind. Basically I am a self-diagnosed sufferer of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and I’ve learned to live with the disorder pretty effectively. Having a…
God Blesses Obedience
Proverbs 21:3 “To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.” (NIV) A couple of weeks ago I caught up with a friend who is in recovery. He had sought help from me a little over a year ago and I hooked him into a place that has transformed…
