Song of the Day #7 Gravity by Landry Cantrell Good morning and good day. Today is the day that the Lord has made. This song has been playing in my head as I wake up several time over the past few weeks. Landry Cantrell sings, “Your love is my gravity holding me down,” and “We all need a little gravity.” What a different thought about God’s love. Of course we all need a little of it. Realistically, we all need a lot of it wouldn’t you agree. Listen and let this young man’s voice and words sink in. Best Read More

Song of the Day #5 I Look Up
Song of the Day #5 “I Look Up” by We Are Messengers We all want to feel like we’re on top at some point in our lives, and those around us need to listen and be obedient to us. Whether that is our kids, our employees, our students, etc. This song woke me up playing in my head. Part of it says, “I want that feeling of being on the mountain top, but when I’m looking down, I’m not looking up.” I think leadership should be one hand towards whomever we want to listen to us, to pull them up Read More
Day 37 of God’s Love
Day 37 of God’s Love for Us December 22, 2017 Today’s demonstration of God’s love comes from song by Matt Maher called “Hold Us Together.” I believe that God has used Matt and many others to write songs that point to Jesus. In this song, Matt points us directly to Jesus’ two greatest commandments, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. And “The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself’” (Matthew 22:37, 39 NASB). Now Matt Maher’s lyrics that touched me to demonstrate Read More
Day 32 of God’s Love
Day 32 of God’s Love for Us December 1, 2017 “Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised” (Hebrews 10:35-36NASB). So we have a bad day, or a bad week, or even a bad year, so what. We shouldn’t throw our confidence and self worth in the trash because of that, should we? No, I don’t think so. God will allow us to be tested, because He wants us to have testimony. He will Read More
Motivational Thoughts
November 18, 2017 “Lord, You have redeemed my past, made my present make sense, and secured my future.” written by an African Pastor in 1800’s who was martyred. (I’ve added a few words to make it a personal statement) “If we live by faith and not by sight, then if we stand we will stand as giants, and if walk we will walk as lions.” Lions by Skillett “If it’s true that You use broken things, then here I am Lord, I’m all Yours!” Broken Things by Matthew West Jesus has overcome all fear and thoughts Read More
Boiling Tears
What are tears that are left on the alter? What good are convulsive weeping tears? A few weeks ago I figured out the answer to these two questions and I wrote it out like this, in my mind were these words. “I am strong because you are with me. I am weak because I am still me. As the tears flow from my eyes, all I can say is “Thank You,” and pray “Tear down the walls that I have built and barriers that I hold on to that keep me from following and running after the plan that You Read More
What God do we Serve
What God do we Serve? September 13, 2017 I was listening to a conference call this past weekend and the person speaking asked this question, ”What God do you serve? Do you serve the God of abundance and purpose, or do you serve the god of fear, doubt, pain and distraction?” His question has intrigued me for days. His point was simple and effective. Any dirivative of fear or lack is not from God! God gave us all individual gifts and talents, it is our mission to find them and use them for His glory. God also gave us the Read More
