  • A Tornado Can Tear Apart and Bring Together

    Send us Fan Mail

     On July 6, 2022 to a tornado ripped through my hometown and left a devastating aftermath in it's wake.  It tore apart structures, but it also brought the hearts of a community together.  I have seen the human spirt rally like I have never seen before.  People didn’t cry victim, rather they immediately rolled up their sleeves and went to work.  Reaching out and helping one another.   There were no judgements or discrimination, just a genuine outpouring of care and love for the fellow human being. 
     
     The storm was dark and strong, but it could not extinguish the light in the heart of GOSHEN OHIO!

    We live in the greatest nation on earth, but she can only retain that greatness if we continue the things that made her great:  Trusting God for guidance, staying true to the constitution that our forefathers gave us, and always pledging our allegiance.

    HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!

  • Don't Quit Your Day Dream

    Send us Fan Mail

    We all have dreams and they are as unique to us as our fingerprints and DNA.  We are born with them in our heart and will die with them.  God placed them there, but the choice to manifest them and share with the world is ours.  

    Be a day dream believer and chase your dreams!  We are all chasing something in this life, so it might as well be our dreams!  

    “Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”  Harriet Tubman

  • Attitude Adjustment = Altitude Adjustment

    Send us Fan Mail

    Life is full of circumstances outside of our control, but how we handle those circumstances is always 100% within our control.  We are not affected by what we know or what happens to us, rather we are affected by how we feel about what we know and how we choose to handle it.  If we live our life with great expectations that is what we will get.  If we live our life in despair that is what we will get.  Every aspect of our life is gauged by our attitude.  Choose to be happy in spite of life's challenges!

    “It isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.”   Dale Carnegie

  • Stay Humble - Don't Be Humble

    Send us Fan Mail

    Growing up I was always confused when I heard the pastor talk about staying humble and striving to be all God created us to be.  Seemed to be a contradiction.  However, I have learned that staying humble doesn’t mean staying poor, weak, or meek.  Actually, it has nothing to do with the amount of success or wealth one achieves, rather it has everything to do with modesty that comes from understanding our place in the larger order of things.  Always knowing that no amount of success or riches could ever make us more or less than our fellow women and man.  

    "The most difficult thing about being humble is not being able to brag about it"  George Patton Jr.

  • A Dead Fish Can Float Down Stream

    Send us Fan Mail

    The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, not a lack of resources, but rather lack of will.  

    We have a growing culture in which a sense of entitlement is being instilled instead of a strong work ethic.   We were all created to be productive for one another.  Being lazy is not only the key ingredient for personal failure, but it is also disrespectful to those around you.  

    Life is too short to be lazy!

  • Greatness Within Average

    Send us Fan Mail

    Greatness is not a rare magical thing that is only given to a chosen few.  Greatness exists in all of us!  Unfortunately, we often suppress it because we either don’t recognize it or we allow our environment to convince us that we cannot achieve it.  If we seek greatness, it will find us, and we just need to open the door and BE GREAT! 

    “Surround yourself with those who see greatness within you, even when you don’t see it yourself” Zig Ziglar

  • Til You Can't

    Send us Fan Mail

    The essence of life cannot be found in the minutes, hours, or days that we have. We all have a different amount of time and it isn't given to us for consumption, but for contribution.  As we look back at our journey, we will not see time, rather only the moments that we made along the way.  These are the steppingstones along our path that we leave for others to remember us by and follow.  

    Life is series of moments and the quality of attention we give each one determines the quality of our lives.  We often miss cherished moments due to the fast pace of daily living.  It is important to slow down and remember how precious it is to live and love.

  • A Lesson from Farmers and Old Dogs

    Send us Fan Mail

    The true definition of success is happiness and contentment.  This is what we all seek and it is right under our nose in every moment.  We struggle to find it because we have been conditioned to subconsciously always be in the next moment and discrediting the present one.  As if the next moment is more important than the one we are in.  The secret to achieving this can be learned from farmers and old dogs....... 

     If you are angry, you are focused on yesterday.  If you are worried, you are focused on tomorrow.  If you want true peace and contentment focus on today.
