We Need to Live Our Lives Awake
What Does It Mean to be Awake? As we continue with Jesus on His journey to the cross, this week we find ourselves in the Garden of Gethsemane. They just finished sharing their last meal together. After singing a song, they went to the Mount of Olives. (Mark 14:22-26) Jesus told them, “All of you […]
A Routine is Something That is Learned
Books Are a Good Place to Start Last week we discussed how a routine can help us get more done. Too many times, people drift through life without any plan. They neglect to take control of the things they can control. I know how this is. I used to feel this way. Early on I […]
The Journey of Life Can be Hard
It’s Nice When Somebody Goes with Us During this time of Lent, we’ve been going through Christ’s journey to the cross. Two weeks ago, we talked about knowing where our treasure is and Mary’s anointing of Jesus with the expensive oil. She knew where her treasure was. Last week we discussed Jesus’ riding into Jerusalem […]
Wouldn’t You Like To Get More Done?
A Daily Routine Can Help You Over the past several weeks we’ve been going through the Hero on a Mission online course. This is one of the courses offered by Business Made Simple University designed by Donald Miller. These online courses are great for helping small businesses. I’ve taken this course before, but to reinforce […]
Don’t Get Caught Up in the World
There’s so Much More Out There It makes sense that we get caught up in the world. It’s where we live and what we know. Every day we take part in it. If we’re not careful, it’s where our awareness stops. It becomes all we focus on. I’m not saying we should abandon the world. […]
How to BUILD a Well-Balanced Life
Like Everything Else, It’s a Choice Last week we discussed being busy. It’s easy to find ourselves with too much to do. There are just so many important and fun things that need done. This leads to burnout. It’s all too common for people to get burnt out. I’ve seen this happen a lot over […]
What’s Your Greatest Treasure?
It’ll Be Best If It Isn’t Monetary What is most important to you? Is it money, your job, family, social status, recognition from your peers? Not any of these things are bad or unimportant. We need to be clear on what our priorities are. In the children’s message, Jim Miller shared a math problem that […]
How Busy is Too Busy?
Having Too Much To Do Is “Self-Inflicted” The past couple of weeks have been really busy and it’s no one’s fault but mine. This last week was especially so. To the point that I didn’t have enough time to write this week’s solution. So, I decided to use a previous post about this very topic. […]
Perspective is Up to Us
It’s Important to Have the Right One We can be blind even when things are staring us in the face. This is what happened with Jesus’ followers. Even those closest to Him. Those who knew Him better than anyone else on earth. They saw Him give sight to the blind, heal the lame, cast out […]
You Have More Control Than You Think
It’s Up to You to Take Control We like being in control of our lives, but most people feel like they aren’t. I contend that we all have more control than we think we do. Control doesn’t mean you control everything that happens. It means you confidently move forward with your goals and priorities, understanding […]
