I believe with all my heart that touching lives is the single most important thing we can do – every day. Today is not only the first day of your life… it could be the last, how do you want it to be remembered? What do you want to ‘accomplish’? What’s important? I would argue […]
Actually, do you go into your day consciously equipped? Do you make certain you have all the resources you need to do your day? Frivolous questions? Hardly! Assuming of course that your goal for the day is to be fruitful, fulfilled, and effective. Yes, I know… you don’t have time for all the prep work
Or maybe the question is what do you believe? What are those beliefs, standards, etc. that you stand unwaveringly upon, and what is your authority for these? Do your words and actions confirm this?

Occasionally I find myself sighing and wishing I was more like my ideal me. Do you? This can be my mindset when I find myself acting on what I call Paul’s lament – doing what he doesn’t want to and not doing what he does want. Then after a few sighs I typically find myself
I can’t take credit for that title… Joyce Meyer talked on this topic (you should check out her video teaching). However, it is such a great line, that I wanted to use those words. First we need to realize that ‘guilt’ has many faces. There’s the guilt we feel when we do or don’t do
