Having a Blast Until I Blast Out of Here!
48 years ago today, July 8, 1966 — I married the love of my life, I was 17; he was 18 — and that was after a LONG 5 years courtship — since 12 & 13! And, if I had it to do over again, I’d do it ALL OVER AGAIN! Though many said “It…
Disengage that EJECT Button!
Pilots push the EJECT button when their planes are about to crash, and to save their lives — they have no other choice. They MUST take action…FAST! But, what about those of us who are birthing a dream and it’s just too difficult to keep pushing. Or toughing it out in the middle of a…
Before — Barren; After – Oasis — What is Your Before and After?
BEFORE — I was the first to receive the “Certificate of Occupancy” to move into my new home back in Nov, 2012. When I bought my lot in this new community — only dirt and earth-moving machinery were here – no streets, sidewalks, or other houses – just signage with a photo of what would…
The Greatest Gift We Give Our Children
In my post, yesterday, I urged parents to cultivate the talents, giftings and abilities of their children. The same day I read Max Lucado’s post along the same lines, but he took it a step further by saying “The greatest gift you can give your children, is not your own riches, but revealing to them…
Train Up a Child — It is Worth the Effort
For over 12 years, our daughter, Staci Wallace, travelled, sang and spoke at the “Get Motivated” seminars with Peter Lowe, Zig Ziglar, Tom Hopkins, and always on the guest speaker list were former presidents, prime ministers, professional athletes, and many other dignitaries. I don’t share this to impress you, but it impresses me about the…
Time Flies When You’re Having Fun!
I sent an email out on the 30th to announce a business meeting we were having yesterday, Tuesday, July 1st, however I typed June 1st instead of July 1st in the email and on the graphic I made for the event. Maybe I was in denial that a full six months has gone by already…
Be of Good CHEER!
I love the story our good friend, Zig Ziglar, told about the businessman who got a ticket for driving too fast on the way to work, who got to his office and yelled at his assistant, and then she yelled at the receptionist, who came home and yelled at her son, who kicked the poor…
Feeling Some Nudges? Having Some “Aha” Moments?
So you’ve been feeling some nudges, hearing some still small voices, having some “aha” moments? I’d like to suggest that God is trying to get through to you! If you are tight in your relationship with God — you go to Him in prayer and study of His Word, you embrace His love and care…
Stop Playing the Waiting Game and Start Enjoying the Journey
We’ve all played “The Waiting Game” — waiting for the birth of a baby or a doctor’s report, waiting for a job, waiting in line to buy a ticket, or to ride a thriller roller coaster, or for a cashier to stop chatting and get on with checking us out. In due time, our wait…
Smile – May Even Be Able To Break Ice With It
Ever delivered a message or announcement to a group or crowd of people and did your best to overcome those mellow, icy stares or frowning faces looking back at you? You gotta’ hand it to pastors, ministers, speakers and leaders who can motivate audiences who are looking back at them with those seemingly unhappy, sullen…
