Thank Goodness It’s Friday….1/31/14
Thank Goodness It’s Friday! While I complained about the state of sports in our culture yesterday, I also said that I was and always will be a sports guy because I believe there are a ton of life lessons that can be learned from training, practicing and playing on a team. The importance is keeping […]
Thank Goodness It’s Thursday….1/30/14
Thank Goodness It’s Thursday! I am a sports guy. Always have been, always will be. I believe that sports, especially team sports, teach a number of lessons that when carried throughout life make people better. Teamwork, hard work, sacrifice, conditioning, learning, sacrifice…these are just some of the lessons learned by being a team. But man are […]
Thank Goodness It’s Wednesday…1/29/14
Thank Goodness It’s Wednesday! Today I have just a quick reminder for you. William Penn said it best when he said, “Let’s see what love can do.” Love is meant to be the overriding force by which we do everything. Love propels service. Love propels forgiveness. Love propels community. When we all understand this and allow […]
Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday…1/28/14
Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday! I don’t think anyone would argue that we live in the generation of “me”. And worse yet, it is a generation of “instantly gratifying me”. Give me all that I want, how I want it, no matter what I have earned, no matter what it means to anyone else. And give […]
Thank Goodness It’s Monday….1/27/13
Thank goodness It’s Monday! I listened to a sermon by one of my favorite preachers this weekend (Matt Chandler). He was talking about the sanctity of life, an admittedly very difficult topic. But he made a statement towards the end of the message that has been with me all weekend. In talking about how to […]

Thank Goodness It’s Friday! I want to close out “video week” with a powerful reminder of the importance of focus and understanding why we do what we do. I love Eric Thomas and if you have never heard him, you will too. Be great today…..FOCUS
Thank Goodness It’s Thursday…1/23/14
Thank Goodness It’s Thursday! We will call this video week…. and today’s video reminds me of a couple of things. first, we are all meant to live in community and to care for one another. Somewhere along the way, we have lost sight of that. Sure we volunteer on holidays or give a little to […]
Thank Goodness It’s Wednesday…1/22/14
Thank Goodness It’s Wednesday! A quick video for you this morning. This is a commercial from the UK. While it is funny, it contains a great truth for us all. Quite often, amazing things are happening right before our eyes and because we are not aware we miss them. Sometimes we become so narrowly focused […]
Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday…1/21/14
Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday! I want to be short this morning and just give you this thought. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “You must do the things you think you cannot do.” I love that there is no doubt in that statement. Not “try your best”, not “don’t be afraid”, not “keep at it and you […]
Thank Goodness It’s Monday…1/20/14
Thank Goodness It’s Monday! Today is Martin Luther King day. Today we celebrate the work of a man who was committed to rooting evil out of this world. Specifically the evil of racism and racial hatred. Problem is, the evil in this world started long ago and is found in so much more than just […]
