When you meet someone, are you merely looking at them? Or are you looking deeper within them…at their heart level? Someone might be physically beautiful, but they are so much more than that. Look at them for who they are…

Trade-offs
The culture of America is to work hard and get ahead. I believe in hard work. Getting ahead sometimes accompanies our efforts. But there’s a trade-off. What are we losing by placing our focus solely on getting more? This is something worth considering…
Time
Albert Einstein proved through mathematics that there is no such thing as time as we know it. We have constructed time to block out our lives in ways that are meaningful to us. Speaking of meaningful, I encourage you to use your time wisely. Our time is the greatest gift we can give someone. Use it well…
Falling Down
All of us have fallen down when we are pursuing a goal. Get back up and get after it, knowing you may fall again. The path to success is never a straight line. Just keep going…
The Thief
There has been a robbery! But not to worry. What was stolen can be regained. The thief is comparison. Comparison robs us of our identity when we start looking at our current standings versus others. People compare over money, looks and jobs. You are who God created you to be. He doesn’t make mistakes, nor does He look at his work and think you could have been improved.
Embrace your uniqueness, accept yourself as you are, always trying to improve. God is the authority over our lives. That’s good enough for me…

Last night I had a car wreck that could have ended my life and the lives of the young men who hit me. All of us are pretty banged up, but we will heal physically. God protected us, no doubt. He’s not finished with us, and I am forever grateful to Him…
What You Believe
Self acceptance begins with the messages our parents gave us. If they believed in us and taught us that we can overcome adversity, then we probably had a solid foundation from which to grow. But for those of us whose parents told us we would never amount to anything, we had a steeper hill to climb.
Listen to the inner voice that encourages you, the voice that speaks the truth into your mind. Then go to work…
Unsung Heroes
In a culture where celebrities and athletes are revered, my admiration and respect goes to our unsung heroes…
Commit…
Figure out what your true purpose is in life, and commit to it with everything you have in you…
Living Before Dying…
A hospice worker wrote an article a while back about her experiences with people who were facing death. One of the reflections she recorded was, patients often said they “wished they had lived their own dream.” God created us for a bigger purpose than making money. Remember to live His purpose, not ours. This is where you will find fulfillment…
