Adversity
November 29, 2009 SundayAs we get closer to the end of the year and we look back at the year; what do you see? Do you seen missed opportunities, broken relationships, career problems, financial problems, etc.. Or do you see where you made positive changes in your life, took advantage of the opportunities. When adversity comes; we have two ways of looking at it. One is to say, “Why me,” and the other is to say, “Why not me.” Look at adversity as an opportunity. We will never grow to our fullest without adversity in our lives. Use the adversity as a step to the next level in your destiny. Don’t complain and whine about having adversity in your life. It’s going to be th

Finish Strong
November 28, 2009 SaturdayI want to congratulate Coach Jeff Kelly and the Jackson Aggies on reaching the Super 6. It’s been a great year so far; now it’s time to finish the drive. That is something a lot of folk have trouble doing; finishing the drive.How many times have you been trying to reach a goal and stop before you reach it? It may be weight lose, a relationship, school, financial, a career, or state championship. However, too many times when we get frustrated because we aren’t seeing the results that we think we should; we give up. The opposite is true too. We get so close to the goal; can see it within reach and then relax and lose the intensity. When

Patterns
November 27, 2009 FridayWe all develop patterns in our lives. Whether it’s driving the same way to work every day or like me; I cut the grass in the same exact pattern every week. Some patterns or habits are really good. Like showering and brushing your teeth. However, not all patterns or habits are good for us. This time of year we start looking at the New Year and resolutions. If we start changing unhealthy patterns right now by the end of the year we will have already got our resolutions done. By waiting until the first of the year, we haven’t made the changes we need to make and that are why so many people never accomplish their New Year resolutions. So let’s start

T-Day
November 26, 2009 ThursdayHappy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your day and spend some time with family and friends. Today is a day not to be taken for granted; so make everyday a thanksgiving day; in that we are thankful for God has given us. Too many times we focus on what we don’t have or what we have lost during our lives. However, by doing so; we lose the grateful and thankful heart that we need today. I am so thankful for Melissa and Gloria; those two are the most awesome wife and daughter ever. I am also thankful for my extended family and in-laws. I have been so blessed to have folk that will stand by me and will allow me to stand with them during the good and the bad. Lastly

Put it on
November 25, 2009 WednesdayWhat a great time to be alive. You were born right at the exact time and place that you were supposed to be born. You may not always think so, but your destiny disagrees. You are here right now for a purpose; not by accident. Never curse your birth or your life. When others curse your birth or life; don’t listen to them. The ‘I wish I had never been born’ or ‘I wish you had never been born,’ comments have to go. Be thankful for your life. Even if today it isn’t the life you had dreamed for. That too can change. Put on the garment of thankfulness and make the best of your day. Each day we do this, we will see change take place in our lif
