Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday….9/30/14

Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday! I have to travel very early this morning, so a simple, yet amazingly powerful thought for you today.  Winston Churchill once said, “To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique […]

Thank Goodness It’s Monday…..9/29/14

Thank Goodness It’s Monday! It is always amazing how different people respond to someone seeking to be excellent.  One may view the same actions by a person as amazing, while the other sees them as off-putting.  The reality is, our response says more about us and our commitment to excellence than it does about the person […]

Thank Goodness It’s Friday……9/26/14

Thank Goodness It;s Friday! Thank Goodness It’s Friday We have been speaking a lot of making radical change and figuring out who we really are.  Sometimes, we get so wrapped up int he journey itself, we forget to step back and enjoy it.  We are meant to have life and to have it abundantly.  And […]

Thank Goodness It’s Thursday…9/25/14

Thank Goodness It’s Thursday! Most people strive their whole lives to be independent.  We can’t wait to grow up and get out the house.  We can’t wait to finish school and get out into the world.  We can’t wait to get that promotion so we can be the boss.  We can’t wait to pay off […]

Thank Goodness It’s Wednesday…9/24/14

Thank Goodness It’s Wednesday! Yesterday we spoke briefly about radical adjustments.  We spoke about how we often hold off making changes until they become so difficult that they generate fear and confusion, often causing us not to act at all.  Often times when this has happened, the reality is we find ourselves in places where we […]

Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday…9/23/14

Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday! Change is not easy for most people.  Because of that, we typically wait until things are at their worse before we even begin to think about change (and sometimes we wait even longer than that). The problem with waiting so long is that the longer we wait, the more difficult and […]

Thank Goodness It’s Monday…9/22/14

Thank Goodness It’s Monday! I was reading this morning and was reminded of 1 Corinthians 9:24 – “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize?”  I recall how often this individual is used to describe the importance of living life properly and to do everything you […]

Thank Goodness It’s Thursday….9/18/14

Thank Goodness It’s Thursday! It is amazing to see how much fear controls people.  Whether it is work related or relationship related, fear is often the emotion that controls decisions.  And fear is the absolutely worse position to make decisions from.  Fear is a binding emotion.  It locks you down and keeps you away from […]

Thank Goodness It’s Wednesday…9/17/14

Thank Goodness It’s Wednesday! AW Tozer once said, “In what I have to say I may not be joined by any ground swell of public opinion, but I have a charge to make against the church. We are not consciously aware of God in our midst. We do not seem to sense the tragedy of […]

Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday…..9/16/14

Thank Goodness It’s Tuesday! I was watching a TED Talk video the other day and the speaker made the following statement.  “I believe more in learning than education.  You see, education is what somebody does to you and learning is what you do for yourself.” What a great and powerful statement.  And it also points […]
