I like to tell the story of when my wife and I were first married. We got married in college as poor college students (don’t do that!). Besides the obvious power struggles that accompany new marriage (I lost by the way), we didn’t have any money… Yet, when we look back on those times, we…
If you are like me, and I’m assuming you are, then you like to take the time to try to figure out why things are going wrong or perhaps why you aren’t getting the results you desire. And while it is noble to assume responsibility and take matters into your own hands, there is…
Forgive me for overworking the YOLO cliché, but I’ve got something to say that I know will help you live a little better. If you think about how many times people use that cliché and it’s context, you’ll find something very interesting. Almost every time we say it, we are making some reference to…
How many books have been written that purport to tell you how you can use the “power of your mind” to get something that you need? It’s an alluring concept for sure, but one that simply isn’t true. There is no power of the mind other than the power to choose what you will. …
After having lived awhile on this planet, I know what can happen to a person. You start out as a youngster full of excitement and enthusiasm for the future. You have big dreams and you are going to be somebody! You are young and you are invincible. Your heart is open and receptive and eager to…
I was thinking, the other day, about my family and how well we all get along together. I mean we genuinely enjoy each others company! I wondered, “What is it that makes our family sing?” How did we get four children that not only hang out together but even live in the same apartments, with one married…
If you’ve spent any amount of time on Earth, you realize that there are things out there that hold you back. The things you really, really want in your life don’t come easily. It seems the more you want something, the greater the obstacles that stand in the way of you receiving it. So, how…
It never ceases to amaze me (and other well-worn clichés) how many folks there are that believe in God, but don’t believe in God! The idea that some folks (God bless ’em) go their whole lives confessing their belief in God yet never receiving a blessed thing from Him seems a little crazy to me. …
Boy, once you start getting honest with yourself, there’s just no end to it. LOL It seems that there are a whole bunch of people that live life with unmet needs and just like in the other categories of life, folks just aren’t being honest with themselves. I’ve heard people reduce need down to the…
I often hear people blame their difficulties on their parents and how they were treated when they grew up. You know the story, right? My daddy didn’t love me! My parents didn’t give me the love or encouragement I needed, therefore the troubles I’m going through today aren’t really my fault, right? Daddy didn’t treat…
