I try to look at my life each day but life tends to get in the way. Meaning, the chaos of my professional and personal “lives” tends to drown out the daily look back on where I have been and where I am heading in life. That’s part of the problem as I look back on 2015 and try to plot a course ahead for 2016. That’s why I find myself falling back on the Secrets to Life—and I mean the Real Secrets to Life.

Be Strong in the Lord and in His Mighty Power
In title, this is a message from Paul to the people of Ephesus but it was more likely meant for a broader group of Gentiles.
A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Ephesians 6:10
I think it is a message for all of us—you and me—and generations to come. I have found that one of the Secrets to Life is BELIEVE. Paul’s thoughts of “Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power” are the essence of BELIEVE. You can do anything, be anything if you just BELIEVE. If you are strong in the Lord, and HIs beyond mighty power, what can’t you do? As I say over and over again, the only thing holding you back is doubt and the only one holding you back is you.
Tap into the all-mighty power of God. Be strong in Him today!
On God, Moving Mountains, and Doubt
Let me make this very clear—You can move mountains in your life! God made you, is in you, and has built power in you that few realize or understand. You can do anything. The only thing holding you back is you—and doubt. My bet is that right now doubt is in your mind saying, “This is nonsense.” Continue reading “On God, Moving Mountains, and Doubt”

Don’t Conform; Transform!
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2
This is one of the best Bible verses to live your life by day in, day out. Don’t conform to the world but transform yourself by renewing your thinking in concert with God. Live to get in sync to God, not the world. Lead, don’t follow. Speak up, don’t stay silent. Be your own person—unique and special as God created you! Continue reading “Don’t Conform; Transform!”
Jesus Is My Everything!
This is my new saying to meditate on, especially when life gets a bit rocky. What it means is that everything in life—how to LIVE it in general; how to think, how to interact with others, etc.—flows from Jesus. How he lived his life, what he said during it, and how he inspired others after he gave up this life is my guidepost on how to LIVE my life. Simply put—Jesus is my EVERYTHING!
