I’ve had a few breakthrough moments in my life and one of those was when someone many years ago told me I had a choice whether or not I allowed another person to hurt me. There are still times today when people disappointment me but that is as far as it goes with me as I…
If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.

As most of you know, I enjoy competing in triathlons. I believe they are the ultimate test of an athlete…my opinion. Recently my body has been trying to tell my mind it is time to give them up (due to my old age) but thank God my mind keeps telling my body to just keep…
Courage is looking fear right in the eyes and saying, "get out of my way, I have work to get done."

 Courage is also fear that has been prayed for. How is your courage these days? If you are struggling with fear and anxiety, maybe it is time to speak and pray at your fears and if that doesn’t work try reaching out to someone you can confide in and try a “tag-team” approach at…
Faith is believing God is going to take you places before you even get there.

Reflect on this morning’s quote. When you place your  life in God’s hands are you confident He is going to help you or are you just hoping? If you are only hoping then that type of hope is simply postponed disappointment. We have a God who could care less where we are and where we’ve…
This morning’s quote came to me as I was reading the third chapter of John a couple of days ago. In the 30th verse of the 3rd chapter of John, John the Baptist says, “He must become greater; I must become less.” The “HE” John was referring to was Jesus. When we become less and…
Three choices in life...Give up. Give in. Give it all you've got.

It’s not difficult stopping an old habit and starting a new one. The difficulty lies in staying stopped or started. As I’ve said many times; “there are only two steps in changing a habit; start and continue.†We just completed a seven week process of starving an old destructive habit and/or starting a new productive…
HAPPY EASTER!  HE IS RISEN! GOD IS VICTORIOUS-ALWAYS! This is the final day of our HabitFast Journey and for those of you who’ve kicked a stupid life reducing habit…CONGRATULATIONS! I am hoping you all took God along with you on this journey. He may not take our habits from us but He sure does provide the…
The minute you think of giving up, think of the reason why you held on so long.

We only have two days left in our HabitFast Journey and I don’t know about you, but whenever I am trying to change and improve there seems to be an increase in obstacles thrown my way. Â Sometimes these obstacles set me back to a point where I’m scratching my head and asking myself, “why do…
Without darkness there would be no need for light...

 Darkness cannot prevail in the light… As we are coming to a close on The Second Annual HabitFast Journey, I wanted to take you back over 2000 years ago and remind you of what Jesus went through for us. No matter what it is we are trying to overcome or change, the pain associated with…
The real world doesn’t reward perfectionists. It rewards people who get things done.
— Unknown —
Are you getting it done?  Have you been able to get your habit starved or started?  Have you made progress?  Progress beats perfection every day of the week. 2 Samuel 22:31, “As for God, his way is perfect; the Lord’s word is flawless. He shields all who take refuge in him.” (TNIV) There is only…
