We walk by faith, and not by sight.
That must be our mantra if we have a desire to please God, and be at the right place at the right time, with the right people! I love this cartoon, it’s not where “I intended to go.”
In other words a strong reminder that everyday we have to die to what “we intend to do, or where we intend to go” and follow God blindly, recklessly and dangerously to the place we “Needed” to be!
If we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living.~Anatole France
Change is not the train we generally “run down to get on.” Most times we have to be taken at gun point to get on the “change train.” Therein lies the paradox. If we don’t change, we will never reach our dreams, fulfill our God given passions and visions. Continue Reading…
it took him forever to get the shot just right, and it shows the beauty and majestic presence of this beautiful bridge. It got me to thinking… we are supposed to be like bridges for people. Continue Reading…
You can survive on that….
You can survive, but never THRIVE when you feed on the over ripened fruit lying on the ground or the ones on the lower limbs! You know what I mean… don’t settle for anything less than all God has for you!
At times when it’s a struggle to reach the high fruit, the ones that seem to be out of reach. We may be tempted to “settle” for the easy to reach fruit. Because we are hungry…hungry to say we have accomplished something or have finished a task, we want to look for the easy and fast finish. But usually that’s a cop-out and… Continue Reading…
I face the Q-How Can I do THIS?.
In the middle of all “How can I” days over the years God has always come to me and spoken into me Continue Reading…
As a leader it is very difficult to keep things in balance, or at least what “feels” like balance. I heard a great man of God say,
…the hardest thing you will ever do as a leader is to maintain balance.
“Balance” is a myth, and an oxymoron for a leader, some say. I heard that some 20 years ago, and it still resounds as loud as ever with truth. High energy leaders go from extreme to extreme, and if they hit all the areas frequently enough with some “extremism” they feel they are balanced.
That’s CRAP! Not only is it crap, it’s Continue Reading…
We ordered in last night, one of my sons favorites... Taco Bell! Well, they screwed up the order! Shorted us 2-Tacos and an order of cinnamon twists. Wouldn’t you know it, the two missing tacos belonged to my son, he was not HAPPY! I told him he could have mine. He refused, but knowing he would enjoy them so much more than me, I offered him mine… He refused. I finally talked him into taking one of them. Continue Reading…
I spent the day yesterday with a young, ambitious, still seeking, not quite understanding, still questioning, big dreaming future leader. Through the day as we talked and laughed, he summed up all of his inquires with a a great question basically…
How do get what I need, when I don’t yet have it. (i.e., vision, passion, anointing & leadership skills)
He just wanted to know my story. I felt in some way… Continue Reading…
I have been running around and been real busy lately. All great “stuff” all kingdom stuff, but just too much stuff! Even the right things can so easily drain all our reserves and blur our focus. Well, I think that’s where I am today. Continue Reading…
