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…
First things First
Ephesians 6:10-11 “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” Recently I delivered the message at our church’s recovery service and I mentioned how important it is for me to start every morning in the…
Need Refreshed?
Proverbs 11:25, “The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.” (NLT) I’m always thankful for my daily Proverb and this one jumped out at me this morning. If you are feeling like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and everyone is against you and/or not paying enough attention…
Worry
Matthew 6:27, “Can all our worries add a single moment to your life?” (NLT) Nothing gets in the way of personal progress more than worry. Although worry is simply a part of being human, what we do with the worry has much to do with our spiritual condition. The devil is always lurking and looking…
Random thoughts…
I woke up this morning with several thoughts rolling through my mind. Most of them were about leadership and parenting. Since my kids are raised and I am now in the business of helping others become leaders, I thought I would share some personal words of wisdom in this blog. Great leaders… A great leader doesn’t…
What are Words?
I only watch a couple of shows on television. I watch “The Office” in order to pick up leadership tips from Michael Scott 🙂 and I watch “American Idol” because I love music and I love to watch people chase their dreams. This season has been one of my favorites and included a story about…
this is how HE works…
1 John 3:18, “Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.” I can remember years ago, while living in my self-imposed hell because of poor decisions, looking to the Lord for a miracle. Maybe you’ve done something like that yourself. You know what I mean; raise your hands…
“Set Your Minds on Things Above”
Colossians 3:1-2, “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on EARTHLY things.” Colossians 3:12, “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and…
Real Power
Psalm 121:2, “My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!” This week has been one of those weeks, good stuff bad stuff, crappy stuff and great stuff. Just a normal “day in the life.” Yesterday I was struggling (mentally) with some health issues a couple of family members were dealing with. You know how…
Just “undo” it
Proverbs 14:23, “Work brings profit, but mere talk leads to poverty!” (NLT) This past weekend I was at a business seminar and was blessed with the opportunity to listen to several inspirational stories. They all were presented in different ways with one common theme; nothing good in life will happen without focus and hard work. King…
