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 […]
Do Something Today!
Several years ago, I heard the story of Larry Walters, a 33-year-old man who decided he wanted to see his neighborhood from a new perspective. He went down to the local army surplus store one morning and bought forty-five used weather balloons. That afternoon he strapped himself into a lawn […]
Be slow to speak!
The word of the day is slow. Slow may seem like an odd word to speak over yourself, your family and your business. But consider it in light of the scripture below. James 1:19 “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow […]

Touchdown!
The word of the day is goals. Everyone needs goals in their life, marriage, relationships and work. I can remember as a kid going outside to play football with my friends. Whether we were playing in the front yard, the schoolyard, at a park or after church on Wednesday […]
I Love You!
The word of the day is “I Love You.” These are the three most powerful words ever spoken. Three words that can change someone’s life. How many can remember a time when someone said to you, “I love you,” and you weren’t expecting it? Did it make you nervous, […]
Fighting in the Sistine Chapel!
What could be more of a thrill than to walk through the Sistine Chapel and see first-hand, with my very own eyes the incredible masterpiece artistry of the one and only Michelangelo? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. It doesn’t get much better than that. However, to hear […]
