The Greatest Gift
Good morning. Only 3 more days until Christmas... I'm sure everyone is getting those last-minute gifts and wrapping away. Christmas is about So Much More! As kids, my brother Jeff and I would rip though presents fast, Jay would take his time, but ultimately, they would All get opened. Imagine the BEST, Biggest gift under the tree Not getting opened at all? The Greatest gift of ALL just sits there waiting for us to open. "Everyone is Created by God Everyone is Loved by

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

Always Be Thankful
I hope everyone had a Great Thanksgiving. Super busy here, but Great and now a little breather and the sprint to Christmas. Hopefully, everyone felt grateful on Thanksgiving. I realize I have so much to be Grateful for. What we really need to do is position our hearts and minds to Always be Thankful. We all know bad, even crazy things can happen in our lives. Despite the chaos, you always have the option to pause, take a deep breath, and reflect on what you have to be

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

Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying!
Good Morning. Finished the week yesterday with a funeral. Uncle George passed away due to the devastating blight of Alzheimer's at the age of 87. He lived a full life and by All accounts was a Great Guy... Yesterday he was repeatedly referred to as a Legend! The Homily, delivered by a pastor that knew George for Many years hammered the Facts of George being a Wonderful man but more importantly Living Life Fully! The fact is We will All someday meet our maker! Many think

Just a Little...Goes a Long Way
I hope everyone had a good week.... The time change had me in bed early all week... I recognize that most readers, probably all, are facing some kind of difficult challenge in their lives. 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! Massive and unwavering Faith would be Great... But circumstances shake us at times. Even a sm

Billboards
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!
