Kid Dynamite I was not a boxing fan growing up. I didn’t have much of a chance of that living in a single mother house with 2 women (mom & sister). I’ll never forget, though, one boxing match I did watch. I was staying with my dad in the summer, and we were at a […]
Big Story | Small World
Big Story I believe in living life to the full. Yeah, that’s pretty cliche. Maybe I read it on a scrapbooking website or something. Being completely honest, though, I believe it. I believe we all live life as a story, our story grafted into a much larger story. As a Christian, I believe the larger […]
My Drug of Choice.
My addiction. Last week, I finished Simon Sinek’s book, Leaders Eat Last (for you keeping track at home, I’ve now started and finished 3 books in 2015. Working on 2 more right now). When it comes to our religious and spiritual views, Sinek and I aren’t compatible. He writes Leaders from the perspective of man being an evolved animal. I don’t […]
Work-Life Balance
ATTACK Last week, I shared how I am ATTACK-ing 2015. ATTACK is my 2015 Word of the Year. You can read more about how I’m starting, but I left one thing off my list: Reading. I want to read more books this year – at least 2-3/month. So far, I’ve ready Creativity: Overcoming the Unseen Forces that […]
How to ATTACK
Word of the Year 2015 Earlier, I shared my 2015 Word of the Year – ATTACK. 2013 and 2014 were more theory than practical – TRANSFORM & VISION. I’m excited about ATTACK because it’s practical. Here is a list of things I will practically attack in 2015: Writing. I’ve committed to write here 3 days a week. I […]
ATTACK fear
Why ATTACK? A few months ago, I re-read the story of Noah and the Ark. It’s such a familiar story, most people could pretty accurately recite the story at a moment’s notice. Especially now that Noah has been made into a major motion picture, we know the basics. Noah is chosen because of his righteousness […]
2015 Word of the Year: Ready. Set. Attack.
What’s the Word? Every year for the past 4 years (this being my 5th), I’ve chosen one word I want to focus on for the year. It started out kind of randomly and haphazard. I didn’t have a plan or concept of what I wanted, but it blew up in an amazing way. Now I […]
Title Not Required
Don’t get it confused… This weekend I had a discussion with a friend who is the CFO of a magazine franchise operating both locally and throughout the United States. Their business model which operates on the sales of advertising to businesses in local markets. To highlight the importance of this model for their salespeople, they […]
Entrusted with Mysteries
Given a gift Talents and abilities – they are undeniable gifts from the Father. In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks of being given the gift or talent of an apostle. He describes this as being entrusted with the mystery of God. I don’t claim to be an apostle, but I do believe I’ve been entrusted with talent and ability. […]
What in the world?
90’s Christian Rock In the 90’s I pretty much solely listened to Christian music. There were some pluses and minuses to this. The plus was it was a good way to guard my heart. A minus was there were like 3 big name artists to listen to (a gross exaggeration, but close). One of those artists […]
