From my personal experience I know it is impossible to enjoy balance, joy and peace as well as true success in life without being aligned with God’s will. Ego is definitely “easing God out,” and when I ease God out I am letting Jay in and when Jay is the center of my universe…
Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity.

Every morning I receive an email that includes a piece of writing from C.S. Lewis. A couple of days ago I received the following and just needed to share it with you because it is very good. The real problem of the Christian life comes where people do not usually look for it. It…

Life is short. John 6:27, “Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.” P.E.A.C.E. jay@eaglelaunch.com

If you want to identify me, ask me not where I live, or what I like to eat, or how I comb my hair, but ask me what I am living for, in detail, ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully for the thing I want to live for.

In our 3rd Thursday leadership group I often share with the group the 3 questions we must all ask ourselves and create answers to: 1. Why am I here? (Purpose) 2. What do I stand for? (Principles) 3. How am I doing? (Progress) The final question Merton poses in his quote above will be…
