Revelation 22:12; “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.” (NIV) I was texting back and forth with a good friend last night as he and his wife are slowly digging themselves out of debt. One thing I “texted” him was the…
Victims and Victors
In life we have a choice whether or not we want to be victims or victors. A victim chooses to think “why me?†and stays stuck in his circumstance. A victor chooses to think; “why not me?†and makes the absolute most out of his life. A victim chooses to allow her attitude to be…
Everybody wants to go to Heaven…
…but nobody wants to die. I lost a good friend today. His death came unexpectedly and he leaves behind a wonderful wife and two beautiful children. Over the past several months I was blessed to have reconnected with my friend through a business relationship.  He was one of those guys I could go years without talking to and then…
Nothing to Prove
Philippians 2:3-4, “Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others.  Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.” NLT My third triathlon this summer was a 1/2 Ironman. This involves swimming 1.2 miles, biking 56 miles and running 13.1 miles all…
Ladders and Reality
This past week I had the opportunity to spend a couple of days doing what I like to do best from a professional standpoint, and that is to share my business experience, strength and hope with other business people in hopes of making a positive difference in their lives. On more than one occasion I…
Jitters and Fear
Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” (NIV) I was working with a client I am coaching last evening and he shared an acronym with me: FEAR=False Expectations Appearing Real. Nothing leads to defeat or a life of average to less than average more than fear. Fear is of the devil…
Light Representative
Matthew 5:16, “In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” When we make the commitment to do our best to follow Jesus’ ways, He calls us to be a light to the world and it is impossible for us to…
Slave
—for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him—2 Peter 2:19 (NIV) I try to do ongoing inventories throughout the day as a quick check on who or what is driving my life. If I am at peace and really cannot name anything that is bothering (i.e. mastering) me, then I know God…
Note to self…
Luke 6:37-38, “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give and it will be given to you.” (NIV) These simple words said by Jesus, when turned into focused deliberate action sure takes the friction out of my life….
Are You Rich Enough?
Proverbs 13:7, “There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing; And one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches.” If you knew the world was going to end in 30 days what would you do in those final 30 days? I’ve asked myself this question on more than one occasion and of…
