On this Good Friday morning as I do my devotion, I am reminded of Jesus’ suffering over 2,000 years ago. Today I know it is important for me to observe and appreciate the events of “Holy Week” every day. I need to die to myself and live with my resurrected Lord. Jesus’ death and resurrection tells me I…

“The harder I work…
the luckier I get.” Is a quote the famous college basketball coach John Wooden used quite often. Wooden won 10 NCAA championships in 12 years, a record that will most likely never be broken.

What are you “looking” like these days?
A couple of weeks ago I went to Las Vegas on business. I don’t particularly like Vegas but I try to make the most of it while I am there. One thing I do enjoy about Vegas is getting up at day break and running the strip. I run for 60 minutes every day while…
Stubborn or Teachable…
Proverbs 29:1 “Whoever is stubborn after being corrected (rebuked, criticized, instructed) many times will suddenly be hurt beyond cure.” (NCV,NIV,NLT) I believe Solomon was talking to the alcoholics of his time when he wrote this verse although it applies to anyone who lets stubbornness get in the way of being teachable and experiencing recovery.

As I’ve mentioned before, my purpose as a follower of Jesus is all about bringing others to Him and He blessed me with some awesome opportunities to witness at work and in my free time this past week. It ended with a pre-intervention meeting with the…
Is it really that easy?
The other day I ran across scripture from 1 John 4:15, “If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the son of God, God lives in him and he in God.” I thought “wow God sure did make it easy for us.” All we need to do is acknowledge that Jesus is the son of God and…
Draw closer…
For those of you struggling spiritually, mentally and/or physically at this time try holding onto the following scripture.

Who’s in your space?
In a couple of weeks I will be delivering the keynote message to Ohio Northern University’s third year pharmacy students at the annual ONU Pharmacy Mentorship Dinner.

If you pray why worry…
and if you worry why pray? I remember hearing this saying years ago and it really hit home. Back then I would find myself praying for something and shortly after the prayer my mind was back focused on a worry. Today I know worry and anxiety are both self-focused and self absorbed conditions. I try my…
