My prayer this morning with the Lord was something He showed me a little over a year ago that I have prayed many times. “Lord, let me be a sensitive to your voice as I am to my cell phone!” In the environment in which we currently find ourselves, change is a daily and [...]
So I am currently reading through the Old Testament (Old Covenant meaning old as in obsolete) right now and if there is ever a time that I speed read through the Bible it is in these beginning books! But this morning a verse rang my spiritual bell and while I know it is very familiar [...]
I find that many times many people want everything to come together perfectly before they are willing to start something.

If I truly have the mind of Christ, then I really should be thinking His thoughts! About myself, about others, and [...]
It is October and every farmer in my area is full bore into harvest. Funny thing about harvest is you only get to harvest what you planted months previously. You don’t have the privilege of determining what you need now and decide to harvest that. You had to decide months earlier what your needs [...]
Leadership is about casting vison that can be turned into reality. If we were already experiencing it, it would not be vision. Vision is the place we want to go, the thing we want to pursue, the picture of what we want future reality to be. When we are casting vision, we are painting a [...]
It’s time to lose weight! The writer of Hebrews says it is imperative to success! Heb 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down…. As I interact with society around me and look [...]
