This morning I was awake at 5:02. I sat up and thought to myself, “It sure feels warm in this house this morning.” (It’s always freezing in our bedroom… just ask the penguins that moved in last week.) Back to the early morning wake up call… I put my head back down and thought, “What [...]

Early Morning Conversations
Posted: November 25, 2008 in Conversation with God, Focus, Prayer, Random Thoughts0
Earlier in the month I asked the question, “What would you say is… the most powerful force on earth?” The motivation for asking the question was an infomercial of sorts I heard on a local Christian radio station. The Pastor was talking about all sorts of things that pertain to his church and then made [...]
Are you being changed?
Posted: November 16, 2008 in Bible Reading, Bible Study, Calling, Discipleship, Faith, Family, Focus, Oswald Chambers, Spiritual GrowthI don’t have the opportunity to see either of my parents very much. In fact almost never. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen either of my parents. I was hoping to make the rounds this Thanksgiving and Christmas season to see them both. My Dad is in South Georgia and my Mom is [...]
It’s time to be a warrior.

I’m convinced of “one thing”
Posted: November 8, 2008 in Calling, Family, Focus, Movies, Oswald Chambers, Prayer, Psalms, Spiritual GrowthWhat are you convinced of? Does life make sense to you? Do you know what the secret to life is all about? My life has been a journey of discovering that “one thing”. But it seems that the “one thing” always seems to allude my grasp. As soon as I think I have discovered what [...]
Reaching out to someone I don’t know
Posted: November 7, 2008 in Faith, Focus, Intercessory Prayer, Oswald Chambers, Prayer, Spiritual Gifts, Spiritual Warfare, Trials and TestingIntercessory prayer is a wonderful way to serve others. Have you ever spent time praying for another person without them knowing about it? If you have then you know the joy that is associated with the time spent praying for them. You know of the burden that is carried for someone else… the heavy heart. You [...]
When I drive to work in the morning I do not listen to anything. I use that time of quiet to talk with the Lord and drink my cup of coffee. But this morning about halfway to work I decided to turn on the radio. There was this commercial of sorts on the radio. The [...]
Have I lost my focus? I’ve received a couple of emails, txt messages, and a phone call about my focus… “have you lost your focus?” “No posts lately.” “Have “they” shut you down?” Who is “they”? No, I have not lost my focus! No “they” have not shut me down. It’s a bit strange. The [...]
Do you live with vision?
Posted: October 30, 2008 in Dreams, Focus, Leadership, Making memories, VisionAt Catalyst, Andy Stanley quoted Michael Hammer in the quote below. I now have it in my office. This quote has challenged me about my own life vision… my dreams… my future. When your memories exceed your dreams, the end is near. I have a good friend (Mike). Mike is one of the most encouraging people I know. [...]

Catalyst… It’s still bugging me! Catalyst… I can either run to the Truth and embrace it… or I can run from it. From all indications there is no running from it. Total surrender is the only acceptable response. God is on every street corner. He is in the midst of every [...]
