Where we begin our day and where we end our day will determine our day… I was helping a friend the other day who is dealing with an addiction. He has been in and out of recovery and sobriety for a number of years. He has everything it takes to make it because he wants…
Do Right*
“Always do what is right. It will gratify half of mankind and astound the other.” ~Mark Twain If you struggle with “right” you may want to take a look at what is driving you. Is there a power greater than you helping you with right, or do you allow the world to help you determine…

“We must learn to live together as brothers or we will perish together as fools.” ~Martin Luther King Jr. On the evening of July 13, 2013 a not guilty verdict was handed down from the jury of the George Zimmerman trial. Zimmerman is the man who was charged with the murder of a 17 year…
Reality*
“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.” ~Philip K. Dick You may have heard this from me before but a person’s character is demonstrated in the way he or she handles the demands of reality. I’ve been on both sides of the “reality tracks.” I lived several years when…

“The worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it.”  ~James Bryce A couple of you emailed me and asked me to share the other books that are beside my bed along with my Bible: 1. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen Covey–best book ever…
Matter*
Last night I was doing some writing for my next book, “FEAR-PROOF,” and my wife, Lori was in her “studio” doing some painting. For some reason I looked at my watch and noticed the date and then I thought about what happened on July 8th, 2010. At the very young age of 22, Brandon Haskins was tragically taken…
