why wait

  Why Wait?

The holidays are right around the corner and with that comes late nights, celebrations, amazing food and beverages and all of a sudden every spare minute you have has just gone out the window.  But, not to worry New Year’s is on the way to save us all because THIS is the year that we get it all right!

So, if this sounds familiar don’t worry, you and the majority of the population…

begin where you are 2/6/17

Read: Psalm 136:1–9

Bible in a Year: Exodus 36–38; Matthew 23:1–22

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Psalm 19:1

  I came across a solitary flower growing in a meadow today—a tiny purple blossom “wasting its sweetness in the desert air,” to borrow from the poet Thomas Gray’s wonderful line. I’m sure no one had seen this particular flower before,…

5 signs you're too sick for work

5 signs you’re too sick for work

Calling the boss for a sick day is never fun, but there are times when you’re simply too sick to work.

Deciding that you are too sick to work is, for many people, wrenching. You probably could tough out a bad cold, but you don’t want to expose your co-workers and the public to a contagious illness. (Plus, no one wants to be the person in the office who can’t stop coughing!)

“Going to work means…

how to connect with absolutely anyone – provide massive help

“Don’t join an easy crowd; you won’t grow. Go where the expectations and the demands to perform are high.” –

  Provide massive help.Even the biggest and most powerful people in the world have something they’d like help with. Too many people never reach out to those above them due to the fear that they wouldn’t be able to offer anything in return. But you have more to offer than you realize: write…

Guest Post- "just be a man"

Guest Post- “just be a man”

  Just be a man, man up, men are supposed to, let a man do it, find a good man. We all have heard these phrases used to challenge, encourage, or in some cases to antagonize a Man. Just be a man? I would even argue that it has become stereotypical to say “be a man”. I recall the day my 3 brothers and I were ridiculed by our dad. It was summer (school was out) the 3 tiered wooden steps that were…

what does it mean to be "equally yoked"?

what does it mean to be “equally yoked”?

Simple question/Complex answer: “What Does It Mean To Be Equally Yoked?” Equally yoked is a biblical phrase referred to in the Christian community that is oftentimes used to justify a decision made about a relationship or marriage. I have heard people say that they were not equally yoked with someone because of a different upbringing, decision making process, beliefs, finances, education,…

why saying you want change is not enough

why saying you want change is not enough

Every Sunday morning, I drive by a park. It’s on the left-hand side of the street with a basketball court, play structure, and large soccer field clearly visible.

During the week, in afternoons and evenings, the park is full of excitement. Parents sit and talk, children play, teenagers ride skateboards, grown men show up to play basketball.

But early on a Sunday morning, the park tells a…

hi ho hi ho off to work...

hi ho hi ho off to work…

  Work, work, work, work, work, work; this is the hook to Rhianna’s hot new summer track entitled Work.  An uplifting song that invokes the twerk in some and the running man in others. For me it’s the latter, no twerking for this dude. I often find myself humming this tune as I am driving into work. It kind of reminds me of the Seven Dwarfs marching off to work, singing HI HO HI HO off to work…

3 Keys to Finding More Happiness at Work

In our world today, we are overwhelmed with promises to quit our jobs and chase our dreams. We are told that we deserve to be happy and that if we buy enough things that it will eventually happen. We are told to work for the weekend and plan that next vacation. But why can’t we be happy with the life we have right now?

We live in a culture that prizes leisure over labor and longs for a “four-hour…
