I turned a youthful 52 years of age on October 8th. If anything, I’ve always treated my birthday as a special day of reflection on my life … how far I’ve come, and how much more there is left to do, God willing. One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is the ability toContinue reading “Am I a Mistake?”

Changing the world for the better is a noble aspiration. We all think we need to do things outwardly in order to change the world. I think the best way to change the world is to take care of yourself. Take care of your body. Take care of where you put your time and energy.Continue reading “To Change the World, Take Care of You”

I was reading something this past week, and I came across the word avarice. I did not know what it meant so I looked it up. It means extreme greed for wealth or material gain.

I’ve discovered the fountain of youth. I’m not referring to a mythical spring that restores the physical youth of anyone who drinks from it or bathes in its waters, but I am talking about an authentic feeling of youth. Getting old is inevitable, however, feeling old is not. With the proper attitude, we can beContinue reading “Would You Like Room for Grace?”

I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday about a controversial local issue in our community. We were both passionate about it, and we both had formed our narratives about it. As we were talking, I could feel his energy and emotion increase. Mine too. As I was listening, I could empathize with hisContinue reading “Let’s Just Agree to Disagree”

What if the most valuable asset God has given you to steward is not a strength, but a weakness? We oftenContinue reading “Play to Your Weakness”

Like professional athletes training for a sport, we have to train to build the skill, endurance, and habits to be successful in life. For my life coaching practice, I have built a system for my “athletes” to experience what it means to operate within the power of the Holy Spirit. We refer to it asContinue reading “Train to be Fordriven”

What would the world look like if we traded in our pursuit of the American dream for friendship with God and others? The American dream is the ideal by which equality of opportunity is available to any American, allowing the highest aspirations and goals to be achieved. The inherent problem with the dream is thatContinue reading “The (New) American Dream”

Purpose: To help adults who feel disturbed and drained by the daily onslaught of negativity by starting and ending their days with gratitude and positivity. Promise: To unlearn what you have learned by renewing your mind 1% every day. To build new habits, passion, and purpose little by little, drip-by-drip. What is it? The MindWolvesContinue reading “MindWolves Re-Mind Program”

It’s hard not to wake up to an onslaught of negative news. Sadly, it’s the norm. Traditional media and social media are ladened with hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, immorality, and impurity. These are the fruit of the Flesh. In fact, they make waking up hard to do. Contrast that with theContinue reading “Rising Early in Dark Days”
