Learn to Forgive or Stay Stuck. Your Choice!

So much anger, bitterness and unforgiveness out there.  No wonder so many people struggle in their relationships.  They are constantly trying to make everyone else pay for past hurts.I believe I have the gift of encouragement. Hard earned, by the way. I've been betrayed, gutted like a fish emotionally and left for dead, spat upon literally and figuratively, abandoned, used, wasted, lonely, broke and damn near homeless because of combinations...

So I've started doing Hangouts on Google+ with Don Purdum and he really likes topics like transparency, communication and such.  He's truly pushing me to open up.  I think I like it, but I'm not quite sure.  I keep thinking he's going to press me to open up about something crazy soon!  Join us every Tuesday morning at 9:30 AM LIVE to see what happens.  Or just subscribe to this blog.  I'll probably post most of them. Anyway,...

Prepare For What You've Prayed For!

"Be Prepared." That's the Boy Scout motto. It's also my word for today. I have shared with you, my friends, a few times before that I believe the Lord shares things with me in dreams regarding direction for my life, encouragements and (sometimes) warnings.  This happens a few times a month for me, typically, and I post them here when I feel the unction that someone else could benefit.  Today is another of those days... The word of...

Fast Food Free?

I just started this event if anyone wants to join me and share tips and testimonies! Health gurus welcomed! JOIN MY FACEBOOK EVENT AND SHARE YOUR TIPS! Here's my motivation.  I was sitting with a consulting prospect the other day and got an unexpected tidbit of advice. Heavily-accented English and blunt the way only older men are blunt when they speak.  As we talk, he leans into me and says "You see that park over there? I walk every...

Still A Dreamer...

Here's a strange and weird story to tell. It's personal and gory. But I feel like if people can post their illicit photos and weekend adventures, I can share this. I believe the Lord sometimes encourages me and gives me direction through dreams and I had such a dream last night: In the dream, I had to cross a two fields and over an hurdle to reach my prize. There were several other people making the same trip. The first field was littered...

The Struggle to Believe

The father instantly cried out, "I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!" ~Mark 9:24 Don't feel alone if you struggle with faith and hope sometimes. I feel you. We're eye-to-eye on that as I write this blog. We try and make it a cute little thing.  Almost cartoonish.  I believe! But believing is hard sometimes!  Exercising your faith can evoke tears and even screams as if you're wrestling with the God of the Universe...

If I could change just one thing about you, I'd change your..

If I could change one thing in the world right now when it comes to relationships, it would be this wave of cynicism that has overtaken people. My thought is the cynicism I see expressed throughout this world these days is not serving people well at all.It's making things worse.Any statement that begins with "All", "Many" or "Most" is probably wrong before even the next word is typed.  But think about how often TODAY you will read or hear...

Music That Resonates with My Soul

This is a little different blog from me.  Let's see how it goes.  Simply put, these are songs of which I never get tired. Each has a special place in my soul. I imagine they always will.  I wanted to share them because they all have something in common... they are impossible to duplicate... timeless... specially unique.  They aren't all "spiritual" so to speak, but they inspire me to be my unique best, as well.  Here they...
