A buddy stopped by today and had some interesting news about a couple of people we both knew.  It seems major decisions in one friends life had occurred that resulted in a downstream change of direction for the other person.  As a result, one friend seemed to now be taking on a much greater risk [...]

60 Days…Speak Up!

Friends, Often times I have felt at a loss for words.  A situation presents itself and it feels like I should say something, but I don’t  because I am scared that I will not say the right thing.   Good intentions and all, but the word of encouragement or the word of thankfulness does not ever [...]

Friends, Over the past week I have found myself in a unusual setting.  I have spent the past five days caring for my Father in a hospital and as of yesterday in a skilled nursing facility in southeastern Ohio.  These kinds of facilities are unique in that you get to watch people doing their work [...]

60 Days…”Go Ahead, I’m Listening”

Posted in 60 Days of Prayer, Influence, Patience, Relationships on November 24, 2010 | 1 Comment »

How annoying is it when you are trying to have an important (at least to you) conversation with a co-worker and they always seem distracted by something else going on around them.    They might look at you for a few seconds, but in short order they are looking around the room, maybe checking their [...]

60 Days….It’s All YOUR Fault!

Posted in 60 Days of Prayer, Confrontation, Encouragement, Honesty, Judgment, Prayer, Relationships on November 23, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Yesterday I was thinking about “The Blame Game” again. In a rare moment of insight, it struck me that I also have many people to “blame” for what I have accomplished in life.  Think about it.  We tend to only think of blame in the negative context, but I turned it around and began to [...]

Friends, No doubt many of you will be in your offices very early this morning hoping to get a head start on the day.  As an early riser myself, I have enjoyed it when I could get in the office and have some undisturbed alone time.  Jumping right into the pile of work I made [...]

Last week I received shocking news about someone I admired and saw as a spiritual giant that a few months ago his marriage had ended in divorce.  Although I did not know this man personally, I have followed him and his ministry closely for a long time.  The details were sketchy, but it appeared that [...]

60 Days…You First!

The meeting was not going as I had carefully planned.  I was prepared.  Had my agenda, talking points and slides ready and had launched into my pitch.  As I looked up at the customer, I could tell he was not really following me.  He seemed distracted and actually a little irritated.  I paused for a [...]

A close friend of mine recently sent me an email that sadly described the circumstances of a mutual friend going through a very tough time.  Our friend had apparently made some poor choices  resulting in pain and suffering for himself and his family.  Thankfully, our friend reached out and wanted to talk and try to [...]

We are busy aren’t we? Our lives are full. Our work demands more time than we have or want to give. Yet, something in us calls us to find a way to serve. To help someone in need. But it’s just one more thing… Lunch is sometimes used for business meetings, or maybe to work out. [...]
