Slow Lane
I do things fast - I eat fast, complete checklists fast, pursue goals fast, and tend to even have my interactions with others fast. Clearly, when it comes to getting things accomplished promptly, without delay, and multitasking various things to expand workloads, efficiency, and capacity, I’m the guy. But this comes also at a high …
Just In Time
The adventure I have taken has been filled with beauty, hard work, and uncertainty - and God’s goodness has been all over it. I have a mountain of material to learn within a short amount of time and yet my days have been filled with much activity that the time to learn has been tight. …
Kinder To Self
“Be kind to yourself,” I felt God’s loving voice say to my heart. I had been studying material completely new to me, and wasn’t doing too well on the practice tests. Yet, I unrealistically expected myself to know the answer to most every question, and each one I missed fired a missile to my heart. …
Fun with God
Do we think of God as being fun, or more as a kill joy, and always deadly serous, stern, and somber? Our image of God, or as AW Tozer said, What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. If this is true, I wonder how many …
Done Wrong
It hurts when someone does us wrong. Especially when it comes from someone close to us. Unfortunately, most of us know of this pain far too well, and sadder still is perhaps the wrong we have inflicted on others. Often times it is our wounds that manifest into insecurities, fears, pride, ego, lusts, and anger, …
Facing Troubles
Troubles come and go - they are like waves of the ocean - constant, continuous, and consistent. However, so is God’s goodness, love, and faithfulness. Yes - troubles will come, but we don’t have to make them worse. Instead, we can trust God with them. Seek His guidance, and direction, and instead of trying to …
What’s Love Got To Do With It?
Someone once said, “look closely. The beautiful may be small”. Good reminder when what so often can win our attention is the broken, and chaotic. And though those things have their time and place to be engaged, making the effort to not miss the beauty also present, and to perhaps even to offer it, makes …
Don’t Just Do Something – Sit There.
We’ve all heard the expression don’t just sit there - do something, but sometimes, it’s the exact opposite that proves more true. We do a lot of “something” all the time, and that constant doing, can reek havoc on our mind, body, and soul. Just think about the shame, guilt, and condemnation that can sink …
Business with Soul
Having been corporately trained the majority of the decades I have been in finance, and although I received and experienced great value from the training and development, I always felt a bit out of place knowing there had to be more to what we were doing than merely driving for and being measured solely by …
Peace Out
Finding fault in others and even ourselves is easy. But what I love so much about God’s advice to us is He is constantly reminding and encouraging us to hold each other up, to pursue peace, and to find the beauty in everyone, over faults. To do this however, we must be content, confident, and …
