During the time I served as a Youth Pastor, we often took our youth on various types of trips, such as youth camps, Missions Trips, Ski Trips, etc. One particular year, the youth had turned in their monies. I had taken it to the bank to deposit it. Then […]
Be Bold Today!
The word of the day is boldness. Boldness is the confidence to say and do what is right. We’ve all heard of the boldness of David against Goliath and Daniel in the lion’s den or Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the fire. There are times we all need to […]
Let’s Laugh!
Laughter is the word of the day. Proverbs 17:22 says, “A merry heart does good, like a medicine.” What does that mean? It means that laughter is good for you. Paul McGhee, Ph.D. said, “Your sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you have to make […]

The very first night my team and I held a church service under the bridge on the streets of Houston, started the journey of many exciting experiences. One of the firsts of which I will never forget. Our order and strategy was simple. Sing a few songs, preach a […]
God wants to be your Everything, Everyday!
The Christmas tree has been put away. The Christmas lights have been taken down. The fireplace mantle has been emptied of the Christmas stockings. All of the other Christmas décor has been placed back in the boxes and tubs and stacked away in the garage until next year. I don’t […]
I Was Blind But Now I See!
Perception is the word of the day. I was the guest speaker at a church in Texas. As I stood on the platform, the worship service had ended and the Pastor invited everyone to turn and greet one another. I turned to the choir behind me and started shaking […]
Shut up and kiss me!
Some of you are going to really like this and some of you are going to hate this. But since this is primarily about better relationships, bear with me. The word of the day is kiss. That’s right! Kiss. In the same way that research has proven that a […]
