Morning Pages
For the last few years, every morning, my alarm goes off at 5 AM. It’s not that it takes me an exceptionally long time to get ready for work, it’s that I have things to do before my things to do. I get down to the business of mindset work and study first thing in… Continue reading Morning Pages
Fruitfulness to Come: Abiding In Him
Abiding in Him means to remain in Him. He is the one who produces the fruit in our lives. It is not through our own power or strength. Of course, He has given us natural gifts, talents and abilities, but the supernatural fruit comes from His source alone. If we want to go above and… Continue reading Fruitfulness to Come: Abiding In Him
Words About Words
From early-on in life, I learned that leaders are readers.

I went on to study English at Ole Miss under the guidance of some… Continue reading Words About Words
Handing Him the Keys
We are never alone in the waiting. We are not designed to be self-sufficient, lifting ourselves out by our own strength.

On a day like Valentine’s Day, it’s easy for us who don’t really have a reason to celebrate to feel down and out on a holiday meant for romance and love. But changing our viewpoint from self- focused to service- focused might just be the tonic we need to soothe the hurt feelings and sadness.… Continue reading A Change of Heart

There are going to be days when there seems like no good choice, every direction looks like defeat on the horizon. If… Continue reading Just Follow His Lead
Beginning Anew
It’s a New Day “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come; the old is gone, the new is here!“ 2Corinthians 5:17 In beginning anew, many times we need to rethink our old thought patterns, behaviors and habits, to turn it over a new leaf, to head and a new direction. We… Continue reading Beginning Anew
A Time to Heal
We need a roadmap for where we’re headed, but first we need to know where we are going. It’s important not to dwell on the things in the rearview mirror that we cannot change, but to look ahead to better, brighter days for us rise up from where we are today. We remember from yesterday… Continue reading A Time to Heal
