You do realize that Step 1 doesn’t always work… yes? Step 1 is precisely that – the first step! Are you going to give up at the beginning? Even when that first step isn’t your best ‘first’… is the goal worth pursuing? While it may not be easy, will you learn from the lack of […]
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!

Have you ever noticed that when the Word gives a directive, it gives the ‘why’ at the same time? You don’t have to seek the reason – it always presents what happens when you do obey and when you don’t. We never read a ‘ because I said so’ comment, contrary to what we practice.
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
