How Do You Talk To Others?

How do you speak to and about others? The way we speak to others determines much about what is in our heart. We build others up by our words of encouragement to them. If we are always tearing others down and speaking negatively about them we will never truly value people. In order for God’s […]

Do You Talk To Yourself?

Do you talk to yourself? You know you do, just admit it now. EVERYONE talks to themself. So what kind of words do you say to yourself? Our words are like seeds. They have power to grow into self fulling prophecies for our future. The value of our words determine the value of our belief. If […]

Mission Drifting…

It is easy to get off course and mission drift if we don’t feed our mission daily. Have you ever noticed that whatever you look at when you are driving a car is where you steer towards? I am notorious for this phenomenon. When I fix my eyes on something other than the road ahead […]

Crowd Control…

Remember the question…”If everyone jumped off a bridge would you do it too?” As a teenager you would quickly answer…”NO!” to this question.

Erin and I have 2 beautiful daughters that love to play with cash-registers. Kids have a fascination with the whole idea of ringing items up and the transaction of buying goods from them.

Image Inspiration…The Door…

Doors take us places. They exist to separate one area from another. As you walk through a door you enter into a brand new arena with possibilities waiting for you there. We walk through doors all day long to get to where we need to go. Life is full of decisions we need to make in order […]

I would like to start a new series of blogs called…”Image Inspiration”. I will be taking images that speak a truth for us to learn. It has been said, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”. Image Inspiration says, “A picture is worth a lesson to be learned.” So this week I am going to be […]

Are You Powerless?

Are you plugged in? Appliances, lights, electronics, tools, etc… are useless unless they are plugged into a power source. They were created for great purposes but never reach their potential unless they are plugged in. They may look pretty, feel great, be hand-crafted by the best, but if they have no power they have no […]
