THRIVE: The direction is clear but the means and purpose uncertain.
What a week. What a week as a dad. What a week as a husband. What a a week as an employee. What a week as a manager. What a week to have behind me. It makes me think of the quote I have used many times over the years “mom said there would be…

THRIVE: It requires wisdom and discernment. It requires a word from God.
Can you believe it is March already? When I look back to the year starting with major change and the trickle-down impact it would or was going to have, I couldn’t imagine we would be at this point today. When I consider 2022 and the speed at which time has taken us into the third…

THRIVE: Here I go again (but not on my own) starting my week with God.
Unlike the song by Whitesnake “Here I Go Again” which has the lyrics of “Here I go again on my own“, as I prepare for this day, I start it with God and His Word because I know that God is with me. We see if we listen to the lyrics, we see how in…

Do you realize the value of having the wisdom and knowledge of God?
Ever been in a situation where you felt you were way over your head? Ever turned to God for answers? for help? for wisdom? for knowledge? The example for me that comes to mind was back at a time when I was much younger and God had called me to join a homeowners association board…

As the week begins let’s start it off on the right foot. Let’s fill ourselves up with the Holy Spirit by spending time in God’s Word. Let’s remove any barriers by dealing with any issues or concerns up front. Let’s not allow bitterness nor anger nor frustration be our drivers or motivation as we start…

LOVE–the greatest gift of all. Will you give it? Will you receive it?
What greater love is this, than to laydown your life for a friend. (Jesus went to the cross and gave up His life for us, that we may be called friends of God and be reconciled back onto the Father, bridging the GAP created so long ago in the Garden of Eden.) Thank God for…
