I have a deep desire to “let my ceiling be their floor“, as it pertains to the most important life lessons, many of which I didn’t grasp until half-time (I’m over 50).Resilience is one of the most important concepts I can think of. Google “stressed youth”, and look at the images. Feel the confusion, the […]

Resilience
Inspired?
“His mercies are new every morning!” Most days, I have what very well may be “inspired” ideas.Usually, they come in the shower, or before, and often I forget them before taking action. So this morning, after reading a great devotional that was a gift from my mom, who understands me on a very deep level […]
Fight
I was watching a video of one of my favorite evangelists, Torbin (I can’t spell his last name). He is a guy who is doing what the Lord has called him to do and suffers quite a bit of persecution and criticism for what he does. I would encourage you to watch this video. Push […]
Mandate
To my fellow believers: Do everything with the motive of Love, in Jesus’ name, to bring the Father glory. We are his children, and have Holy Spirit in us to be the light in the world, cooperate with His plan, and bring Kingdom as much as possible. Live by the Spirit, listening for His guidance […]

Out
I am in a season of “out”. One of the questions that came up in my men’s group off a list of questions that accountability partners should ask each other, is “Do you feel that you are in the center of God’s will and sense His peace?” The answer, surprisingly is: “yes“. Surprising, because I […]
AUTHORITY
This one came out of left field. I love questions like this: Q1: When I speak to a family member, I hear the demons speaking to them during our conversation. Is that normal? A: No. That’s not normal. There’s nothing wrong with you, you have a very active gift of discernment, or you’re certifiably crazy. The friend […]
Forgiveness
This is from an inmate named Anthony: Forgiveness is one of the great principles of our Christian faith. Faith will not work in an unforgiving heart. The ultimate example of forgiving ones enemies comes from Jesus. Jesus modeled this forgiveness as he hung on the cross when he forgave and prayed for the people who […]
