Ephesians 6:4, “And fathers, don’t stir up anger in your children, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.” (Holman CSB) Back in the formative years of my adult life I spent way too much time Rocking and Rolling and the rolling consisted of me running away from my duties as a husband…
Daily focalPOINT – Steps
An object at rest stays at rest, an object in motion stays in motion… As I was reading the 9th verse of the 16th Proverb today; “A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps,” I was reminded of the above fact brought to our attention years ago by Sir Isaac Newton….
Daily focalPOINT – Extra Effort
“The only certain means of success is to render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what your task may be…the surest way to doom yourself to mediocrity is to perform only the work for which you are paid.” ~Og Mandino I’ve lived long enough to confidently say, “you are correct…
Daily focalPOINT – View
Shallow and sad is an entire lifetime viewed through the same set of glasses inherited from birth… We are all given a set of glasses to view life through when we are born.

“There comes a time when you have to choose between turning the page and closing the book.” ~Josh Jameson Where are you today? Is it time to quit turning the page and simply close the book and move on? Our past was not intended to be our present and/or future. Sometimes it is best to move on…
Daily focalPOINT – Humble Spirit
“It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.” ~Unknown Today I know the more comfortable I am in my own skin the less I need for the world to know about my accomplishments. I also know there is a direct correlation between me being comfortable in my own skin and how…
Daily focalPOINT – More on Can’t
“If you hear a voice within you say “you cannot paint,” then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.” ~Vincent van Gogh If we are unable to bridle our thoughts, we become our own worst enemies. Back during our walk through the 47 days of lent I wrote about the devil and his…
Daily focalPOINT – Value
“Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.” ~Albert Enstein You have to believe on judgement day the good Lord will have a list of the ways we gave of ourselves to add value to His world and a list of the ways we took from the…
