OK, it’s a new day. And this is the day to get started on your life, if you haven’t already. I’m talkin’ about your abundant life. The life that’s yours for the asking. But seriously, get started today. Because tomorrow is too late. And that’s a guarantee. You absolutely can’t do a darn thing about yesterday. It’s gone. Let it go. And tomorrow doesn’t … The rest of the story…

The good ol’ American can do attitude. Remember that? If you’re only a couple of decades old (or less), you might not. But it’s what truly made America a force to be reckoned with. Because when you have a nation of people who believe most anything, do-able, is possible, watch out. That’s why it’s so sad, to me, to look around and see so … The rest of the story…
There’s a fast-growing cancer just under the surface of this world. It used to be held in check by a country known as the land of the free and the home of the brave. But the cancer is spreading like the western wildfires even in America. And there seems to be no cure. But I’d like to suggest that maybe God is the answer. … The rest of the story…
During my “dating days” (way back in the 20th century) I probably dated two or three girls who were “into meditation.” And I’m talking about the actual sit-down, pose with palms on the knees and pointed upwards kind of meditating. I also knew a couple of guys who were into it. But I never knew what their preferences were. Because 1: it wasn’t a … The rest of the story…
Rhymes without reason in church Have you noticed how many rhymes without reason there are in church songs these day? And I say church songs because so many of them aren’t worship songs. And they don’t even rhyme all that well. Am I biased about this? Of course. But I’m also right. Rhymes without reason are almost like treason. Not treason against “the state.” … The rest of the story…
One thing I do… Social media is so anti-social. Because many (if not most) people spending a lot of time there are clueless about how conversation works. Interaction. Exchanges of ideas. So, one thing I do, when I’m on social media, is keep my mind focused on truth. And yes, there IS truth. Even universal truth. But only for those who don’t hate the … The rest of the story…
From this moment forward stop saying fail forward. Lots of well-meaning people are using the expression, “fail forward”. And it makes me cringe every time I hear it. In fact, I’m actually pretty darn sick of hearing it. Especially from people I like and/or respect. I wish they’d stop using that nonsensical phrase and get back to much more appropriate words. And I know … The rest of the story…
Do you have a positive outlook on life? There are plenty of reasons to be positive about things in this world and in your life. Still”it’s good to face reality and take it head on even if it doesn’t agree with your positive outlook. The “news” is a perfect example of how emotions, outlooks on life, and even major events in life are manipulated. … The rest of the story…
Intense frustration – has it ever hit you? If you’ve ever been hit by a deep and abiding sense of intense frustration, here’s what you do…give up. That’s it. Problem solved. Let’s move on. OK…I’m not really moving on. I do wanna talk through this a bit with you today because I’ve been experiencing some intense frustration this morning.

I challenge you to try and understand the peace of God For as long as I can remember…as long as I’ve been alive, in fact, men and women have talked about peace on earth. And for as long as I’ve been alive, that ideal has remained only an ideal…not a reality. Peace talks seem to take place every year somewhere. Usually the focus is … The rest of the story…
