Do you want to make a difference in someone’s life TODAY? If you know someone who is between jobs, you can do just that. I rarely (never?) promote something we are doing at WorkMatters on this Blog. But today, it’s imperative. If you are located in northwest Arkansas, The Joseph Project is hosting FIVE HR leaders this Wednesday [...]

I have been blessed to build a friendship over the past few years with a business leader who “gets it” about as well as any I know. Donnie Smith, new CEO of Tyson Foods (located here in northwest Arkansas), has worked at Tyson Foods for 30 years. On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal published a feature interview [...]

Lord, you have assigned my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. Psalms 16: 5-6 I was talking with a group of folks the other day about the present state of our economy and all that [...]

What an incredible day it was last Wednesday, February 5th at the Joseph Project 2010 Advance Workshop! There was great anticipation during the weeks leading up to this kickoff event. Seems like what you hear is how the economy is recovering. That may be true in some some quarters, but there are many others who are [...]

What does the word faith mean to you? We tend to use this word loosely, don’t we? But what does faith really mean? The Bible give us a clear definition: Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 Every December, our faith at WorkMatters gets tested [...]

Don’t you love talking with a man or a woman who seems to have great wisdom? They are dropping these pearls on you and they don’t even know it. Such was the case Wednesday morning with Springdale, AR Mayor Doug Sprouse. He spoke to a room full of “between jobs” men and women at The [...]

Yesterday it was announced that the unemployment rate in the country is the highest it has been in 26 years, a stunning 10.2 percent. I read that a major school bus plant in Conway is shutting down and that 477 people will be let go. Layoffs are still happening locally as well. We all know [...]

My battery croaked in my old Suburban over the Labor Day weekend. I went to a local auto parts store to get it replaced. I was met at the door by a man with a smile and a “how can I help you?” salutation. He seemed sharp, but he was obviously new. He struggled with the computer systems [...]

Posted in 31 Days of Proverbs and Prayer, Economy, Money on July 29, 2009 | 2 Comments »
…give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, “Who is the Lord?” Or I may become poor and steal. Proverbs 30:8-9 As we count down our 31 Days of Proverbs and Prayer, it’s seems fitting that we can focus on [...]
