Seeing God’s Calling
Seeing God’s Calling A lot of people talk about wanting to know God’s calling on their life. Some even think they know what their calling is. Today I want to share a little bit on my take on this topic. Big idea thoughts: I believe that everyone does have a...
Family Matters
For the last few weeks, I have been sharing how God has redeemed some of the things that happened when I was a child along with me not having any biological children of my own. He is pretty amazing the way He has been able to give me some of my heart's desire in some...
Give it to God
Last week I challenged you to acknowledge something you feel that you missed out on as a child and do something positive to fill that spot in your life or fill it for someone else. Did you? I pray you did. When we take a positive step in the direction of healing some...
Be the Change
Happy almost August! If you are in Texas, like me, you know that the heat is intense this time of year. I do my best not to complain about it though because after all it is Texas and it is supposed to be hot. Back on Father’s day this year I spent some time...
What are you living for?
One of the best lines from my favorite TV show was “it’s easy to find something worth dying for. What are you living for?” When you have something worth living for, suicide is not an option. It hurts my heart to see so many suicides in the world. God created you for a...
It’s a wrap
This week is wrap up week for the PLACE series we have been covering over the last few weeks. I chose this image to use because knowing your PLACE really is a gift. I hope you have enjoyed the blog series and you have been able to open the present of knowing...
You are here
E - Execute It is time to take action. Imagine you are driving your car and are at a 4 way intersection. You have some choices, correct? You could turn left, right, go straight or even make a u-turn in some cases. There is another option though. You could stay...
Seeing clearly now…
Wow - the last few weeks we have covered a lot of information. Discovering your PLACE in this world is work! In my opinion, it is very much worth the effort. I have asked you to rate yourself each week on a scale of 1 - 10 in regard to how you are doing in the...
Building bridges
The last few weeks we have been rating ourselves on a scale of 1 - 10 in different areas of our lives. The goal is to understand our P.L.A.C.E. in the world. As you begin (or continue) to work on these areas of your life, it is my prayer that you will see small...
Love is a verb.
This week we are going to talk about Love for the L in PLACE. Last week we talked about your purpose. On a scale from 1 to 10, how are you doing on that? What about love? We may need to define love a bit as there are many different meanings. The American culture, and...
How to find your flavor.
A few weeks ago we talked about living your dash to the full and last week we talked about finding your flavor within your calling. This week we are tying them together. Living your dash is where you get to create the legacy that you want to leave behind. This could...
What’s your flavor?
Last week we talked about how maybe there were a few things you could improve on and I asked you to make a list of the things that came to mind for you. Then I asked you to consider picking one of them to act on. Did you? If so, I would love to know the results or...
Know your place
Know your place. Sounds like a big deal. It is. Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing some examples of how I believe you can find your place. We will be using an acronym for the word PLACE. P – Purpose L – Love A – Acceptance C – Clarity E – Execution We will...
Live your dash
We aren't really sure who actually said this quote that is usually attributed to Mark Twain, but whoever it was nailed it. Two Most Important Days in Your Life: The Day You Were Born and the Day You Discover Why If you have been following me for a while you will...
Pain vs Pleasure
Last week I wrote about how pain is a motivator and asked several “what if” questions. This week I want to talk about pleasure. The two great motivators in life are pain and pleasure. Pain appears to be a more urgent motivator as you want to get away from the pain....
What if…
The last few weeks have been a little bit surreal for many people, myself included. I mean really, what are the odds of living during a worldwide pandemic? I have been reminded of so many things that have helped me continue on my path of significance. One of these...
Pivotal Moment
With so many people being furloughed from work right now this blog post seems to be even more timely than I thought it might be. In 1992, I was at lunch in the company cafeteria with a group from our job, and everyone was griping about the latest benefit cut. And out...
Who moved my comfort zone?
Are you feeling out of sorts? If so, you are not alone. Over the last few weeks many people have been moved out of their comfort zone and into a brand new place. Many people are NOT happy about this. Change is hard, that is for sure. I am wondering though if it is...
One life.
The last few weeks have shown me something very clearly, again. It has shown me the real importance of knowing who you are. I know that the Covid-19 situation is not good however I am enjoying finding the "good" in the situation. One of the good things I have noticed...
Zoomin’ again…
Last week I shared some Zoom user tips and got some great feedback on what was shared. With that in mind I created a quick tutorial video that will give you the "must-have" info on how to use zoom for a networking/group type meeting when you have several people on the...
