The holiday season is fast approaching and it is no great secret that this is the most difficult time of the year for friends, family and loved ones who are suffering from any type of addiction, whether it be directly or indirectly. The holiday season stirs additional emotions and feelings that often lay dormat throughout the…
“Why’s?”
Psalm 57:7 “My heart is confident in you, O God; my heart is confident. No wonder I can sing your praises!” (NLT) A few days ago I was talking with a young father as he shared openly about the challenges he has experienced with having a developmentally disabled child. He knew I could relate because…
The “Magic” Formula
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he (Christ) said to me (Paul), “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (NIV) James 2:17 “In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” (NIV)Â Â A couple of weeks ago a friend met with me after…
Doing what “it” says = Serenity
James 1:22 “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” One of the greatest tools I was given in the infant stages of my sobriety was the serenity prayer:    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change (other people, places and things), the courage…
The other “F” word
2 Timothy 1:7 “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and self-discipline.” (NIV) Beginning in early 2009 I began struggling with a new calling I was receiving from God. At first I didn’t listen and blew it off as a “grandiose thought,” which is something…
Dreams into reality…
As you may have noticed I have found a new toy that I added to the homepage of my website and that is a photo gallery. Of course my dear humble wife chuckled as she looked at the photos and mumbled something about “narcissism.”   There is a method behind my “narcissistic madness.”  One of the great gifts…
Discipline=P.E.A.C.E.
Hebrews 12:11 “No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening–it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.” My thought for the week (10/18/10) “success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines practiced every day,” comes from one of the most famous motivational…
Heart Guard
Proverbs 4:23 “Above all else, guard your heart as it effects everything you do.â€Â (NLT) When I read the Proverb above, I reflected back to a pivotal point in the history of our pharmacy business. That was when a team of us sat down and defined our vision (what we wanted to become) and mission…
Thought For The Week – “The Past”
Ancient Pharmacy “Sign” located on the main street of old Ephesus, Turkey “If the past is not being utilized as a means for creating a better today and tomorrow…try your best to let go and let God.” This thought came to me as Lori and I recently spent a day in Ephesus, Turkey. Ephesus is…
Looking for a few good Men and Women…
A couple of months ago a good friend of mine asked me if I used nutritional supplements and vitamins and I said yes I did and that I had come up with a solid regimen that I was quite happy with. He then proceeded to give me a website for a vitamin and nutritional supplement company he was…
