Let me confess one of my issues to you – discouragement.
Eventually everyone get's discouraged, including those of us in ministry.
I have no doubt you've experienced discouragement.
You might even be discouraged right now.
What are the -
The CAUSES OF DISCOURAGEMENT?
and what is the
The CURE FOR DISCOURAGEMENT?

Instigating Positive Words

watch the video postcard here
Do you remember when we were kids and a fight or argument broke out?
What was the first thing that the parent or teacher wanted to know?
That’s right –“Who started it?” What they were looking for was the instigator.
Because – that’s exactly what the word “instigator” means -
it is one who starts something.
Normally the word has negative connotations.
But today I want to encourage you to change that perception.
I want you to become an “instigator of positive – especially in your words!”

DUI

Influence is that which is persuading or controlling your
thoughts and behavior. In the case of alcohol, I have seen
the meek become brave and the most macho of men become crying babies
– all because their mind, will and emotions are being
influenced by the booze.

There's no place like home

Last week I was nearly 10,000 feet above sea level
in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
Today I am at 200’ and glad to be home.
See, I have learned that it is not surroundings
that make your habitation enjoyable but the familiarity
of your surroundings and especially – your relations.

Brainstorming

From the Rocky Mountains, Breckenridge Colorado
- here on a week long “Brainstorming” session with
a group of about 15 entrepreneurs from different parts
of the country. They are in many different lines of business,
most have never met – but they came here this week to
discuss what they have in common – the will and drive to succeed.
Brainstorming = “To generate creative ideas spontaneously”

The gift of time

Time is already very well managed. 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 60 minutes in an hour and so on. You’re not getting a different time table than anyone else.
This is what you get - so it’s all about utilizing your time.
Try thinking about time like a gift.

Can we still have a Merry Christmas? (click here to listen to this blog)

So, how many people have you wished a Merry Christmas? OK - How many have wished YOU a Merry Christmas. As Doctor Phil would ask, "How's that working for you?" For you - was wishing someone a Merry Christmas just a phrase of the season - simply being polite with the expected salutation of this time of year. Or, are you hopeful, really hopeful, that things go well for them - that they are, and will experience, (for at least a season), a time of joy, rest, peace and a fresh reflection on all the things that are good. And what about you - are you going to have a "Merry" Christmas? ...here's the rest

A Close Dagger Can't Change God's Love (or click on the title to listen)

"Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture"

"Backstabbing" described a dagger that is used in close combat to kill - or even that which would be used by a butcher to slaughter animals

You know if we can see trouble coming we tend to deal with it better. But when trouble gets "close" to us, especially from people that are close to us. more
