A Clock is Your Most Important Tool 

You Can’t Be Really Productive Without One  We’ve been talking a lot about productivity and ways to be more productive. Part of that discussion focused on tools to help with this. First was a list. We focused on OneNote as our list tool. There are many ways to keep lists.   Lists are a way for […]

Lists Help Us Be Prepared 

Don’t You Want to Be Prepared?  Lists are a way to get organized. Some people like lists more than others. Anyone who knows me knows that I like my lists. Heck, I even have lists of lists. Regardless of where you are on the list of list-liking…  Lists give things value.  In the Bible, Paul […]

A List, A Calendar, And A Clock 

Use These Things to Be More Productive  We’ve been focusing on productivity over the past few weeks. Being productive is not about getting a lot done, it’s about getting the right things done.

Presence is Better Than Blessing 

But We Don’t Always Like It Though  The Jewish people suffered a lot while they were in Egypt. Then God called Moses to go get them and take them to the promised land. Moses pushed back. He didn’t feel equipped or good enough. God finally convinced him to go.  Most of us feel ill-equipped to […]

Being Born Again is a Clean Start

The First Step on a Journey This past week we observed Independence Day here in America. This is the celebration of our freedom from being ruled over by a tyrannical king. This new start came at a cost and wasn’t easy to achieve. It took time to get there. Our spiritual freedom is the same. […]

How You Journal Is Up to You

Here’s How I Do It Over the past few weeks, we’ve talked about what it means to journal and why so few people do it. One of the things I’ve concluded is that guys see journaling more like a diary. Keeping a diary seems more like something a girl would do … not very manly. […]

The Battle of the Voices
