This article addresses those times in our past that were not good, and how to get rid of those memories. I offer the greatest thing I know on how to eliminate defeating thoughts of the past. I have applied this information in my life many times and it has helped me greatly.

Everyone faces challenging times in their lives. Sometimes they are small; other times they are huge. It’s true, life has it’s ups and downs; it’s highs and lows. Sometimes, the low points can be overwhelming.

Are You Being True To Yourself?

(Thanks to those who already have, and if you haven’t filled out my brief survey, yet, please do me a big favor and help me with my new project.  Your answers will help influence the direction of the project!)

Be yourself. Books are written about it. Methods are taught about it. Many self help speeches include something about it.

It seems logical to me that if I’m going to be true to myself, I need to know who I am, right? Okay, let’s pause here for a second.

Who Motivates You?

Have you ever said, “That person really motivates me?” Maybe you read a book or an article, or maybe attended a meeting, and as a result, felt inspired to take action. Does what you hear, see or read motivate you, or do we motivate ourselves?

Certainly others inspire us and get us to consider possibilities. That has certainly been the case in my life over the years. But no one takes any action without

What Are You Doing Today?

Sunrise today I willThere’s the past. There’s the future. And then, there’s right now, the present.

We can look back at our past and wish we would have done things differently, or think about the future and say what we’re going to do, but the present is the only time we can do anything. Seize the moment, for this moment will soon be the past.

FB logoYou can find me on Facebook, but I must confess, I don’t spend much time there. When I do access the site, I comment on something once and awhile, and I add a few “likes.” Occasionally I post something, but not that often.  I do enjoy seeing some of the pictures and witty things that others post.

I Was Unfriended

But awhile back I noticed I hadn’t seen someone’s posts that were usually there on a regular basis. I almost always

What Did Jesus Think?

Awhile back, someone came up with the phrase, “What would Jesus do?”. The intention I believe was to inspire Christians to follow his example in their own lives. My question is, what did Jesus think about the written Scriptures; what was his opinion?

Today, most everyone, Christians and non-Christians alike, have an opinion about

A Weekend In Idaho

camp mivoden 2Last weekend I was at Camp MiVoden on Hayden Lake, in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

A group of us from 6 or 7 states gathered for a Winter Advance.

It was a terrific location. The weather was great. The fellowship was sweet.

And, the Word of God taught was really, really good. I posted some of my “take aways” on Facebook.

3 Simple Keys About Goals

For many, a new year is a time to set goals. Goals are a good thing, but without a plan they just stay dreams. There are hundreds of books, courses and seminars on goal setting. Over the years I have looked at lots of information on the subject, but this article offers three simple keys.

I know there are lots of different formulas, techniques and strategies for seeing your goals become reality. But, if you want to keep it really simple, in my opinion, these three keys are the most important. First, is the goal itself.

Ever Had To Use The Yellow Oxygen Mask?

oxygen maskI’ve flown many times but I’ve never had to use the little yellow oxygen mask that is supposed to drop down in case the cabin pressure changes. At the beginning of every flight they tell you how to use the mask. They also inform you if you have small children, put your mask on first, and then help the young ones.

What a great
