A few weeks ago, Scott Nickel shared this quote by William D. Brown: “Failure is an event; it’s never a person.” Instead of wallowing in self-pity, God wants us to learn from our failures, change, grow and seek wisdom and strength from Him. “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength […]
No matter what you face today, God is working on your behalf. “…Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.”” (John 5:17) “Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.” (Psalms 68:19) Keith Madison SCORE International
My grandfather used to say, “people are like a hog under an oak tree. They eat the acorns but never look up to see where they come from.” Let’s look up today! “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting […]

If we are constantly worrying about tomorrow we can’t live our best life today! We’re too distracted. No matter what you are facing today, love […]
Self evaluation time (I’m doing this, as well). The Apostle Paul gave very good advice to the church in Corinth in the beautiful letters we know as 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians. This morning, I zeroed in on two verses and that’s when I began to self evaluate. Be on your guard; stand firm in […]
*Wash your hands, often, with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. *Stay at least 6’ from those around you. *Wear a mask if you must be around other people. These are smart, respectful things to do. But we are instructed hundreds of times in the Word of God, “Do not fear!” I […]
“We’re all broken. That’s how the light gets in.” (Ernest Hemingway) “For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to […]
If you are in a leadership position, in my opinion, you need to either pursue or keep these four things: KNOWLEDGE “An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.” (Proverbs 18:15) PASSION “A leader without passion is like a river without water.” COMPASSION “People don’t care how much you know […]
