As most of us sprint to the Christmas finish line, it’s so easy to forget people in need. This year, WorkMatters has been blessed to help the “poor and the sick” of the marketplace through The Joseph Project. Hundreds of business men and women have lost their jobs this year and this Christmas will look [...]

A Wonderful Life?

We all have seasons in our lives that aren’t so wonderful, don’t we? Sometimes it’s just a one or two-day funk that seems to come and go. But other times, we may be living in a very difficult season that goes on for weeks, months, maybe even years. My friends John and Jane Ray lost [...]

My co-worker and good friend Butch Scruggs, who leads The Joseph Project, gave me a cool one year devotional prayer book at our WorkMatters Christmas dinner last week. Do you have something you read to augment your Bible study? A blog, My Utmost for His Highest, maybe a book? Well, the morning after the party I opened [...]

He Finished the Race

Last Friday, he went to work. Like he had for over 60 years. Yes, he retired for a year or so. But he went right back to work, believe it or not…driving a school bus early in the morning. All of the drivers started their buses each morning and awaited a quick safety check before departing. After [...]

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 [...]

I used to be a Banker…

He who opposes the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.   Proverbs 14:31 There are so many people in this world that are poor and needy.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.                         Proverbs 3:5-6   (NIV) Do you have a family member, a friend, a former coworker that is between jobs?
