Posted in 60 Days of Prayer, Balance, Perspective, Prayer, Rest, Uncategorized on December 28, 2010 | 1 Comment »
“Be Still and know that I am God.” Philip Yancey writes that this familiar verse in Psalms contains two commands of equal importance. ”First, I must be still, something that modern life conspires against. Ten years ago I responded to letter within a couple of weeks and kept my correspondents happy. Five years ago I [...]

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, E.M Bounds wrote what many consider the “greatest book on prayer ever written.” The book is called, “Power Through Prayer.” I remember reading it for the first time when I was a freshman at Harding University many years ago.

“Now listen, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on our business and make money.’ Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead [...]

Happy Thanksgiving! I know that most of you will not be at work today or tomorrow.

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 [...]

Question 2 from last week’s Eight to Five message – Am I doing my best with what I’ve been given? My father is one of my heroes, and I can see his influence in several aspects of my life. He was a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Arkansas for over 40 years, [...]
