Advertisers tell us about “new and improved” products all the time. They set our expectations higher.
When it comes to self reflection, shouldn’t we be asking ourselves this question: How can I be better?
Create It!
We become what we think about, so where do your thoughts lie? And if you pray, pray expectantly, thanking God before your prayer is answered. Then believe it will happen…
The Madness
Everywhere you look it seems the world has gone mad. The craziest among us get the attention, and how dare we stand up for what’s right because we are marginalizing the minority.
Yet I believe in the goodness of mankind. There is good everywhere, too. You just have to look for it. And if you can’t find it? Be good…
Patience
It’s said that “patience is a virtue,” but I have a difficult time being patient. Yet I don’t think I’m without virtues.
My patience runs thin with ignorant, rude people. My patience’s is infinite with toddlers. Toddlers are just trying to learn how the world works. I’m trying to learn that myself!
If you struggle with patience, remember that you aren’t missing virtues. You are simply human…
Don’t Do It!
Life is hard. Sometimes it seems like every time you get on track, something knocks you back down.
If you ever feel like giving up, just step away for a brief time. But whatever you do, don’t quit. Quitting is never an option…
Help is Available
Mental health has been shredded during the past two years due to isolation. We are hardwired to be in relationship with each other. Anxiety and depression are up over 25%. Suicides and suicidal ideation are soaring, too.
There is help available. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, anxiety or contemplating taking your life, please call someone. Life is precious, and you can have a fulfilling life with purpose and meaning. Take the brave step and seek help. Don’t suffer in silence…

The Silence of Fear
Most people are living in fear of something. The genesis of fear can be traced to the past. Perhaps we have experienced loss and are afraid of losing again.
Fear remains silent because we don’t want to be seen as fearful. Facing our fears frees us from the hold the past has on us, allowing us to experience more from life.
Do you want to live fully? Face your fears and they become powerless over you…
Repeated Failures
Did you ever try to accomplish something over and over again, simply to become frustrated and irritated? We all have.
Don’t quit. Step away from what you are doing and take a walk. Maybe a short nap is in order. You must refresh your mind and change your thinking. A solution is waiting for you, as long as you’re willing to keep going…
Entertainers and Politics
For over 20 years, there has been a growing trend for those in the entertainment world to willingly share their views on political and societal issues. In my opinion, they may keep their opinions to themselves.
We go to concerts, movies and the theater to escape the real world for a short while. Life is still waiting for us after the show. We want the world to be right for just a couple of hours.
Only an outsized ego believes we care about the entertainer’s politics. Just my humble opinion…
My Interview With The Reverend Dr. Daryl Horton
The Reverend Dr. Daryl Horton has a remarkable humility about him. In our conversation, we discussed his calling to the ministry, his challenges getting there, the “rules of religion,” and how God has always shown up. Have you ever wondered how a pastor gives a eulogy for someone they don’t know? Or are you curious about how prayer works? It’s all there and more in our interview.
