The way we think will determine the outcomes in our lives. Do you want to make a change in your life? Then start by changing your thoughts.
Read great books. Feed your mind with the stories of people in history who made a difference. Read the writings of the Apostle Paul. Ask for help to change and believe God will help you. He will.
Finally, get rid of every distraction that isn’t enriching your life. It’s time for change…
There has been a robbery! Not to worry, though, because the robber didn’t get your money or possessions. The robber is life, and life has stolen your identity.
When we started out in life, we were going to show the world a thing or two. Nothing could stop us. We couldn’t even be slowed down! Then life hit us. Hard. Setbacks, frustrations and hurts threw us to the ground. We get up, only to get knocked down again. And again. And again.
Start 2024 with a renewed sense of who you are. Life will continue to kick your ass. It’s time you kicked back. It’s impossible to stop a person who refuses to give up…
Children are completely innocent when they are born. Yet some grow up to become murderers and terrorists. Why?
Somewhere along the way they learned evil. Some people have been so disgusting that they teach evil deeds under the veil of religion. One of the most evil things you can do is to mislead a child.
We must continue to show light to the world. Lead by example. Stand up for what’s good and right. There will always be evil in the world, but our light cannot be diminished…
Giving up is never an option. Resilience is built during the hard times, not when things are going well. When we find our inner strength we grow.
There are some people who have given up on fulfilling their purpose, their dreams for their life. Life isn’t easy, and the world will do everything it can to tear you down.
If you are one of the ones who gave up on a fulfilling life, I encourage you to pick yourself up and start living. You can do it.
When life gets tough, be tougher…
There is something remarkable about the quiet. I truly revel during times I have only peace and quiet. I love music, yet I leave it off. My phone becomes my only occasional distraction. My mind clears and my spirit is restored.
I encourage you to embrace the peace that comes when you get quiet…
Christmas is the day we celebrate the birth of Jesus. People slow their pace on Christmas Day. And the closer we get to Christmas, the happier people seem to be.
Yet there are those who are holding on by a thread. They have suffered loss during the year, or maybe they feel like their luck has run out. Whatever is going on with them within, they are finding it difficult to feel any joy or peace.
Let’s stop and say a prayer for the desperate people. Let’s pray they find their inner light, and they rise again.
Merry Christmas…
Christmas is almost here and you know what that means. People are stressed. We want everything to come together perfectly and this includes the meal, presents and family time. Any imperfection runs the risk of ruining our “Hallmark moment.”
Set your expectations correctly. We are human beings living in a broken world. Things go wrong on this side of eternity. Don’t stress over little things. Enjoy every moment.
Slow down a little. This is the time of year to do some relaxing. And remember to be kind. Not everyone has a Hallmark family…
We are rebellious by nature. Our natural tendency to be rebellious dates back to the beginning of mankind when Adam and Eve rebelled against God. Some things never change!
Not all rebellion is bad. Think about the American Revolution. Our ancestors rebelled against the British, they won, and what eventually became The United States was established. Abraham Lincoln rebelled against slavery. Our country became divided, yet Lincoln’s resolve abolished slavery and the country was restored.
In today’s culture, we have those who choose to rebel against good. They will not prevail. In the end, goodness wins every time…
We love extras, don’t we? Unless it’s extra weight, most extras are welcome additions.
A Baker’s Dozen is thirteen. Extra effort is easily recognized. “Extra Extra” meant something big was happening.
Let’s strive to be extraordinary in our lives. Set the example. Lead others well. You don’t need to use words for others to recognize you are exceptional. Show them…
We all know people who have accomplished much in their lives. They have long, impressive resumes. But there is more to us than our accomplishments.
The heart of mankind tells all. What is our motivation? Are we selfish or selfless? Service to others shows true leadership. To effectively lead others, we must be willing to serve without calling attention to ourselves. God knows what we have done. He keeps an accurate accounting so we don’t have to.
Lead well…
