One of the dumbest things I have ever said was telling someone, “I am comfortable with my God about my actions.” I was in the midst of a business “divorce” and had my high-and-mighty, holier-than-thou face on. I was not only quoting God but I was owning him. Continue reading “My God Or Our God?”

Is Your Light Shining?
I’ll answer the question for you—YES! We all have an inner, soulful light that mirrors God. The problem is that some of us don’t know it and others keep their lights well hidden so no one sees them. That’s why the world seems pretty dark at times. Don’t believe all this light “stuff” I am talking about? Well, here’s a test. Continue reading “Is Your Light Shining?”
Can’t Find God?
I write a lot about keeping God at the center of your life. My 1st Secret to Life is LISTEN, both for God and to God about what he is calling you to do with your life.

Chesterfield said it all too well, with some embellishing by me—it’s difficult being a Christian and left mostly untried by so many. Many “Christians” are so good at talking the talk but stumble when they try to walk the talk. In fact, many don’t even try to walk. It’s easier just talking.

What’s Your Life Purpose?
We all have a purpose in life. It’s a God-given purpose. No matter how seemingly insignificant or earth-moving the world may deem that purpose, God deems your purpose to be special and unique.
