I jotted the thoughts below in my journal on a day I was reflecting on just how screwed up our world is. The fact of the matter is our world has been screwed up ever since Adam and Eve chose to not listen to God. Those of us living today only have our lifetime to…
Daily focalPOINT – Prayer
“Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts.” ~Mother Teresa Last night I received a text from a former co-worker and friend requesting prayer. She is fighting cancer and is refusing to lose but admits she…
Daily focalPOINT – Limitless Possibilities
The sky is not the limit…I am. ~T.F. Hodge The ability to overcome our self-imposed limits is the first step in being able to experience the type of life we once thought unrealistic. I often find myself cringing inside when I am talking to someone who speaks in the terms of “if only.” If only I…
Daily focalPOINT – Eternal Peace
Colossians 3:2, “Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.” I know; easier said than done. When things are really challenging and intense in your life a great way to “escape” is to take your thoughts to eternity and heaven. I know for me personally, I often catch…
Daily focalPOINT – Real Change and Real Benefits
“All appears to change when we change.” ~Amiel The greatest change that took place in my life is when I quit chasing and lusting after the “benefits” of the world; and instead began trying to become a benefit for the world.

Daily focalPOINT – Patience
“Patience is the companion of wisdom.” ~St. Augustine …I learned this one the hard way on more than one occassion. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Romans 8:25, “But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.”
Daily focalPOINT – Vita Nova
“The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their…
