Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday…12/31/13

Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday! Today is the last day of the year.  What a quick and crazy year it has been. I want to be brief this morning and just remind you of a great truth. This life is not meant to be lived alone, in a vacuum. We are deigned to be in relationships and […]

Thank Goodness It’s Monday….12/30/13

Thank Goodness It’s Monday! Heard a great message in church yesterday.  Several great points about getting ready for the new year.  The pastor (who used to be a football coach), reminded me a fact I had forgotten about Bear Bryant, the former great coach at the University of Alabama.  In talking about his success, Bear […]

Thank Goodness It’s Friday….12/27/13

Thank Goodness It’s Friday! Many of us will spend the next week or so coming up with New Year’s resolutions to be different or do different in some aspect of our lives.  Some will decide to follow their dreams more.  Some will decide to work harder.  Some will decide to change their mindset.  Some to […]

Thank Goodness It’s Christmas Eve!

Luke 2:1-20 (NKJV) Christ Born of Mary 2 And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. 3 So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. 4 Joseph also went up […]

Thank Goodness It’s Monday….12/23/13

Thank Goodness It’s Monday! I wanted to share this simple but powerful story with you this morning…. Once upon a time two brothers who lived on adjoining farms fell into conflict. It was the first serious rift in 40 years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labor and goods as needed without […]

Thank Goodness It’s Friday…12/20/13

Thank Goodness It’s Friday! I know many will be leaving for family trips or just taking time off starting today so I wanted to just share a little joy with you and remind you who we are supposed to be celebrating during this season. Read for the full story in Luke Chapter 2. May you […]

Thank Goodness It’s Thursday…12/19/13

Thank Goodness It’s Thursday! This morning I just wanted to share a quick thought and question (maybe 2) with you.  It seems that so many of us get stuck in routines and in thoughts that ultimately hold us back.  They focus on the negative and don’t invest in all of the good, strong and positive […]

Thank Goodness It’s Wednesday…12/18/13

Thank Goodness It’s Wednesday! Yester was my wife’s birthday and today is my mothers (December is a very busy “celebration” month for me).  The best thing about having these birthday’s back to back is that as long as I remember one, I will always remember both…:) Mothers (especially mine) are the most overlooked treasure in […]

Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday…12/17/13

Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday! Today is a very special day.  Today is my wife’s birthday!  I love this day for a multitude of reasons, one being that it’s the day I get to embarrass her over and over and there is really nothing she can do about it… But as I think about what I can […]

Thank Goodness It’s Monday…12/16/13

Thank Goodness It’s Monday! I think many of us will at times find ourselves admiring someone else’s life.  Whether it is some “celebrity” or even someone we know from work or community, we look from the outside and wish we had some or all of what they have.  Often thinking that they have no worries […]
