We are blessed to have ESPN Basketball Analyst, Jimmy Dykes, share today as our guest blogger. This past weekend, I was watching a college football game, when a coach was asked at halftime, “How does the loss of your starting quarterback affect you?” The coach answered quickly, “nothing changes,” and walked away. Maybe that coach [...]

Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of one of the most important days of my life. On October 5, 1991, Theresa and I said “I do and I will”! In honor of that day 20 years ago, we spent the entire day together just having fun. We reflected on the past 20 years. We looked at old [...]

We are blogging this month on the first of Seven Pillars…Relationship. Specifically, how we can walk with God all day, every day, but especially in our work. But it’s hard, isn’t it? The menial tasks. The grind. Deadlines. Worry. Money…and the list goes on. But God calls us to see it differently, doesn’t he? He [...]

As we discuss the Relationship Pillar and this idea of abiding with God at work, the first question has to be…why don’t we do it? We talked about this question in several discussion groups at last week’s Eight to Five event. Here are some answers: Fear – it could cost us something… relationship, $, promotion, job! Busyness – #1 [...]
Watching the Game Film

What would happen if your work today was captured on video? I’m talking every minute…all day long. Every conversation. Every decision. Every action. Every reaction. Every thought (are you kidding me?)… all captured on video. Then tomorrow, we sit down together and watch the game film! Monday night, I attended an incredible event…Raise the Bar [...]
Today you will be…

Can you imagine the feeling he had? He was a criminal, a sinner (like you and me), hanging on a cross. Can you imagine the feeling of hearing Jesus say to you, “…today you will be with me in paradise”? This is a perspective we may not often take here on this Good Friday. As [...]

60 Days…The Word on Prayer

“When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on the street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get. But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray [...]
The Road Not Traveled – Q5
Posted in Gospel, Jesus, Pride on October 28, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Question 5 from Terry Turpin’s Eight to Five message – Am I living my life like it’s all about me? There’s no doubt about it – we live in a narcissistic culture these days. The world encourages us to be self-centered and egotistical. You can even find t-shirts and bumper stickers that say, “I Love [...]
Witnesses @ Work?

Most of our companies have a mission statement don’t they? But, do you have a personal mission statement? It seems that Jesus did. What do you think? “But you will receive the power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and [...]
