Life is GOOD!
GM, I hope everyone had a Good week? Good week here, especially if you are a Philadelphia sports fan! A couple weeks ago we talked about how Life is Hard... And We often Make it Harder... This week I want us to realize Life is GOOD! It's so far from perfect... but GOOD! I am blessed... If that is not your immediate response, peel the onion, you will realize you are blessed too! So much of life comes down to Our Perspective! Look around you. This world is amazing and awesom

No Internet
No Internet GM, not a Bad week here but definitely had some challenges, No Internet for 3 days! Wow, I remember before the internet, then slow dial up, and now we Almost always have internet... It certainly impacted my productivity for the week, but persevered. It's both amazing and frightening to realize how dependent we are on it, along with numerous other technological advancements. It definitely made me stop and think. We should utilize all available resources to compl

little BIG Things
Good Morning, Hopefully everyone had a Good week. Great weather on East Coast, 90 degree days now we have another freeze warning coming... Jeez! Well, that leads me to the thought of the day. The theme often emphasizes not worrying about things, avoiding anxiety, and trusting in God, and this is Absolutely True. It's pointless to worry about things we can't control, such as the weather.... But the Point today is How Often we Hinder ourselves by not paying attention to the t

Life is Hard, But Not as Hard as We Make it
Life is Hard GM, Life is Funny... Life can be Hard... But it Truly doesn't have to be as hard as we normally make it! We all know people dealing with challenges and difficulties, or maybe we are going through them ourselves. I think sometimes it is worse seeing those close to us dealing with challenges and at times they feel insurmountable! The Biggest thing to remember is you never have to deal with challenges alone! I hope you have family and friends to assist but most im

Good Morning! Good Week here... Could have been Better but it sure could have been worse!

Learn to Pray? Just Do It
I hope everyone had a Great week. This week, multiple people mentioned that they didn't know how to pray?... My answer, "Just Do It!! God wants to hear from You! All of your prayers are Heard and Answered! Now the rub... Prayers aren't always answered the way we want! Remember God is not going to Give you what Is Not Good for You! I used to think prayer was reserved for BIG things... Now I've learned to Pray for Everything! (Big, Small & In between) Prayer is like many t

Imago Dei
See Yourself Like God sees You! Good Morning, Thankfully it looks like weather is starting to turn. Before we know it, we will be complaining it's too hot! Weekly Reflection: "What do You see when you look into the mirror?" No matter your response, there is undoubtedly Much More! We spend a lot of energy considering how others view us, or we dwell on what we think about ourselves. We are often our own harshest critic! Ultimately, our Sole concern should be what God thinks

Last week we talked about life being filled with Minutia... True Story but Understand that there is a Season for Everything!

Meaningless
Good Morning... Baseball is starting and I can feel spring. LOL, even though we may get snow tonight... The days are getting longer! Just the thought of Spring feels Great. I wish we could Always think of Spring... So much time is spent worrying about the Minutia of life... News Break! It's All Minutia. Life is Meaningless but So Awesome and Worthwhile! The key is realizing the Meaninglessness. Acknowledge the Good and the Bad have an expiration date. Don't be consumed

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. Significant weather events can/should make you give pause. They exemplify something that can inspire Awe. This leads to our thought of the day. AWE, is a Powerful emotion that can change your life! This quote hit home, "Without Awe, your life will be Awful. With Awe, your life can be Awesome! Awe is often neglec

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

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!
