Philippians 3:6-7, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (NIV) I try to not follow the news these days. First of all it…
Listen…
Psalm 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations I will be exalted in the earth.” The other day I was doing a little coaching with someone who was frustrated over their current job. My job as a life coach is to not tell someone what they…
Lent 24/7
Isaiah 58:2-11 (NIV) …the following comes from the mouth of the Lord through the prophet Isaiah… “For day after day they seek me out; they seem eager to know my ways, as if they were a nation that does what is right and has not forsaken the commands of its God. They ask me for…
Eternal Hope
Proverb 23:18 “There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.” This weekend at our Next Step Recovery celebration our personal testimony will be given by a lady (Gwen) who has had to deal with an unbelievable amount of tragedy in her life. I met her about six years ago…

First things First
Ephesians 6:10-11 “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” Recently I delivered the message at our church’s recovery service and I mentioned how important it is for me to start every morning in the…
Need Refreshed?
Proverbs 11:25, “The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.” (NLT) I’m always thankful for my daily Proverb and this one jumped out at me this morning. If you are feeling like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and everyone is against you and/or not paying enough attention…
Worry
Matthew 6:27, “Can all our worries add a single moment to your life?” (NLT) Nothing gets in the way of personal progress more than worry. Although worry is simply a part of being human, what we do with the worry has much to do with our spiritual condition. The devil is always lurking and looking…
Random thoughts…
I woke up this morning with several thoughts rolling through my mind. Most of them were about leadership and parenting. Since my kids are raised and I am now in the business of helping others become leaders, I thought I would share some personal words of wisdom in this blog.
