Turn, Turn, Turn
Turn, Turn, Turn Good Morning, All! Well, there is a Season for Everything, but I thought this Season was Over, and now we are waiting on a Blizzard... Go figure! Last week we talked about life being filled with Minutia... True Story but Understand that there is a Season for Everything! When times are good, we think or wish they would never end, but when times are tough, it feels like they drag on endlessly. Nothing Lasts Forever and there's a Reason and Season for Everyth

You Are Not Alone
Good Morning. I hope you experienced AWE this week and are staying warm in the Arctic Blast. Life can be really Wacky, and we know this world can be very disturbing at times. Regardless of your current state of affairs, you Must Never Forget, You Are Never Alone! In our small group this week, a discussion about the Holy Spirit truly made me reflect! Everyone is at a unique point in their relationship with God, and this will evolve and ideally strengthen over time. In time

The Power of Awe
Good Morning! Everyone is dug out but it is still Cold... Grateful that Pa. didn't experience another major storm and sending prayers for those in Gianna's path.

The Un-Calm Before the Storm
The Un-Calm Before the Storm Good Morning. I hope everyone is Home, Safe and Secure, during this winter storm. It has started here, now we see just how many inches we get. It's funny, we recently mentioned planning and consistency in life. The last couple days it was crazy to watch people getting ready for this storm. The stores have been NUTS! I hope you got your Bread, Eggs, Milk and TP. Some. call this planning... I would say it is more reacting or overreacting...

Consistency is the Key!
Good Morning. I hope everyone had a Great week. I certainly noticed a decline in the number of resolutioners at the gym this week. Good for me, but not for those making resolutions. This had me thinking. Consistency is really the Most Important component of Everything. Consistency often matters More than Talent for Success. Think about it! If you decide to start Anything but aren't willing or able to be consistent, your long-term chances of success will diminish. Remem

There's Many a Slip Twixt Cup & Lip
Good Morning and Happy New Year! Hopefully everyone is off to a Good start for 2026! I heard a Great proverb the other day that seems applicable in so many ways to the new year. "There's Many a Slip Twixt Cup and Lip" While not a biblical verse it still reflects biblical themes, Faith, Humility, Dependance. In any circumstance, even when success appears certain, unexpected issues can readily arise. Another words, don't count your chickens until they hatch! I also think th

The Most Important Thing
Good Morning! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. Wow, it goes by so quickly, and now the New Year is almost here. Before the new year arrives, we should really focus on The Most Important things... I call them the 3 F's... Faith, Family & Friends (LOVE) As Jalen Hurts says to nauseum, "Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing." He borrowed this from the bible but is spot on. Things come and go, Health can come and go, Money can come and go, People come and go. Focus on wh

First Snow
Good Morning... First snow here in PA, everyone be careful. Hectic week here that was marred by several losses of life. They included dear family friends and a young man whom I coached for several years. We will all face loss, and it is never easy. It is unfortunate how frequently these events occur in bunches. The finality really makes you rethink your daily trials and tribulations. We can find solace in knowing that the pain we feel now will diminish, and we will one

Take-For-Granted
Good Morning... Good week here but had some bumps in the road. The Holiday Season is officially upon us. Wow, sometimes little things occur that truly make you understand how much we take for granted. We often overlook the numerous blessings that God bestows upon us, and indeed, they all originate from Him. Our daily lives are composed of so many little things, whether it be health, relationships, or simply the abundant beauty of nature surrounding us. Often, we can be so

We are all at different places in our relationship with God. No matter where you are on your journey, even in the toughest situations, a small amount of faith can make a significant difference!

Good Morning. Don't forget to adjust your clocks... This pretty much takes care of itself these days. I hope everyone had a Good week. I noticed a bunch of billboards driving from NC. Other than the business ones I saw plenty of Jesus, God, Choice, Charlie Kirk and LOVE! Chose LOVE, over and over... Well, why don't we? We all need a little more Love in this world. Truly, Love covers a multitude of sins! If we are Loving, we can't be doing all the petty stuff that helps

Guilt and Resentment
Good Morning. I hope everyone had a Great week. Blessed to be in OBX with longtime friends... and one of my sons... Year 33... Amazing! Last week, we discussed the importance of showing grace to yourself... Much needed! Let's delve deeper into discussing guilt and resentment. Without a doubt, the Guilt we feel for our own actions and the Resentment we hold towards others' actions can significantly impact both our Present and our Future. Another Example of where we need to

Give Yourself Grace!
Good Morning, I hope everyone had a Great week! Good week here... Good amount of driving again. While listening to a podcast, I reflected on how frequently we can be unduly hard on ourselves.... I had an interesting source of inspiration in Steph Curry... He mentioned that we need to "Show Ourselves Grace." What does this mean? We receive Grace from God through Faith, despite not deserving it and being unable to earn it. We should extend Grace to others by demonstrating

Weekly Thoughts
Get in Touch
Hello
Passion Makes Perfect
Weekly Thoughts happened by accident. I sent a message to a friend and they responded much more vigorously than I ever would have expected... Then in another conversation it came up... And before I knew it a Sunday message was going out to a growing group of people every week. Something happens every week which serves as the impetus for a topic. If you read this weekly or just stumbled upon it, I hope you take something positive from the message. Have a Great Day, Week, Year, LIFE!
