Proverbs 10:4 “Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.” (NIV) My January 31, 2011 thought for the week “so if you’re tired of the same old story, turn some pages” is a line from REO Speedwagon’s song, Roll With The Changes. Check this link out for a beautiful acoustic rendition of their…
“Weight” management
Proverbs 21:20, “In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has.” Matthew 6:11-12, “Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” I would estimate well over 1000 people in the Miami Valley have participated in…
A Sad Day…22 years ago
1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” (ESV) On this “Super Bowl Sunday” back in 1989, Lori and I along with Jason (5), Jordan (3) and Michelle (1) were excited and having our own Super Bowl party as our Bengals were making…

Over the last several years I must confess that the car I drive has “reminder license plates” attached to them. Most people refer to them as vanity plates, but for me I choose to utilize them as reminders.  The first time I bought a pair of reminder plates was in 1998. The plates simply read…
Avoiding “negative come arounds”

Jeremiah 17:5-8, “This is what the Lord says: Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the Lord. He will be like a bush in the wastelands; he will not see prosperity when it comes. He will dwell in the parched places…
Unsung Heros…
   Luke 14:11, “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” (NIV)   The greatest thing that ever happened to me was hitting rock bottom on August 9, 1987. The good Lord is always trying to get our attention and he found the only way to…
