Minds and Worry

Little minds have little worries, big minds have no time for worries.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson —

  A life of faith also has no time for worries. Are you a worrier? Try expanding your mind and faith by choosing to let go and let God…and let Him keep it 🙂 P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Matthew 6:27, “And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?”

The Human Capacity

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.

  So true. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Romans 8:18, “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”

Fine Line

There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy, humor and hurt.

— Erma Bombeck —

  This quote is so true and I can’t help but think about our poor brothers and sisters who went to a Bible study in Charleston, SC without ever thinking it would be there last…at least on earth. I have two questions for you: 1.  When your day comes are you ready?  In other words…

Shifts Happen

Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.

— William James —

  Life is full of shifts.  Our response to the shifts will determine the type of life we live. A couple of years ago I got news about a problem with my health and I wasn’t real happy.  I don’t know about you, but for most of us when a setback takes place we go through…

Focus

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.

— Aristotle Onassis —

  Truth. I observed this (above quote) in an unbelievable way last week. The way the people of Charleston, SC and especially the people of the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church responded to the senseless, evil tragedy that took place is beyond anything I’ve ever witnessed in my life.  It is amazing how peaceful human…

Start is where it all Starts

Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start.

— Nido Qubein —

  It is never too late to start…just don’t be in a hurry. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Joshua 1:9, “Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Dad-Rock

And fathers, don't stir up anger in your children, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

— Ephesians 6:4 (Holman CSB) —

  Happy Father’s Day to my fellow Dads out there!  I also want to send prayers and thoughts to some of my Dad readers who’ve lost a child…Keith, I still pray for you every morning brother. Back in the formative years of my adult life I spent way too much time Rocking and Rolling and the rolling…

Whose Plan Is It?

If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

— Jim Rohn —

Living or Pretending

The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.

— Socrates —

  I am so blessed to be able to offer assistance to many leaders during this second half of my professional life.  I’ve always been intrigued with leadership and if there is a book on leadership, I’ve read it. The most important trait a leader must possess is the trait of walking the walk and…
