I love to compete. Our competitive juices are stirred when we watch the Olympians compete for the top spot. We want our country to win. In the same sense, I like to win at whatever I’m competing in. The only part of that equation I have control over is how hard I work. Some days we are the best, and sometimes our best isn’t good enough. Whatever the outcome, let’s compete honorably and always do our best…

Bring Light
If you look around, and you don’t have to look very far, I believe you will agree there is much darkness around us. We live in a broken world. People fight with each other over pointless things, which further divides us.
I believe we should be a light to others, bringing goodness and kindness with us. We won’t help everyone, but we will help some. Bring light and life into the lives of others…
My Interview With Vic Feazell, Part 2
Vic Feazell was the District Attorney in McLennan County when he discovered some inconsistencies which aroused his suspicions from the confessions of a drifter named Henry Lee Lucas. Lucas had testified to over 300 unsolved murders, including three in McLennan County. When Vic challenged the Task Force set up by the Texas Rangers, this set off a maelstrom of events which could have landed Vic in prison for 80 years.
Don’t believe in the “Deep State?” You might change your opinion after watching the second installment of our interview. Vic and I cover this, plus forgiveness, how he got into the Guiness Book of World Records and coming full circle in this concluding episode of our time together on The Determined People Podcast.
Christmas Season
We are in the last week before Christmas. The true message of Christmas is hope whether you believe in God or not. Hope gets lost in the madness of shopping, wrapping gifts and attending parties. But hope is what keeps us going, even when it isn’t Christmas time. Stay hopeful. Better days are coming. Just believe…
Allies or Enemies?
Our minds are powerful. Our thoughts are either our allies or they are our enemies. We have the right to choose how we think. Choose wisely…
Acceptance
We humans are complex. We are constantly working on ourselves to improve, yet we can be so hard on ourselves at the same time. We want to be accepted, loved, cared for and cared about, while simultaneously we don’t fully accept ourselves. God the Creator of the universe made us precisely how He wanted us to be. He doesn’t make mistakes or ever second-guess himself. Accept yourself, but keep working and growing…
From The Inside…
If you believe everything you see on social media, you might think that everyone’s life is perfect. It’s not. We show people the outside, not the pain, the hurts, struggles and worries of life. Remember this when interacting with others. We don’t know what’s going on inside…
Victimhood…
No one is a victim in the sense that someone else is keeping them from succeeding. Yes, bad things happen to us, but the bad stuff only prevents us from being successful and impactful if we allow it. The battle is in our minds. If you have a good mind and can think…you can do. It’s easier to blame than to do…
Blind Spots
We all have blind spots, things we can’t see or refuse to see in ourselves. It’s important to have friends who will gently point them out to us, especially if our blind spots prevent us from being our best. Don’t be defensive or make excuses. Be proactive about doing better…
