Disappointments
Disappointments happen in life. How you deal with them will reveal more about who you are and whom you serve than any other situation you will work through in life. When disruptions happen, we always lean on our Lord to understand. Proverbs 3:5-6 ‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.’
Belief or Unbelief
“I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request.” That was the line Captain Barboosa used in the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie the ‘Curse of the Black Pearl’ when Elizabeth Swann asked him to stop the attack on Port Royal, leave and never come back . As she stared at him he put it in the simplest of terms and said, “that means no.”
The Marketplace Psalm
Are you a man or woman of integrity? I’m not talking about do you agree or disagree with everything others have to say, but are you a person that can be trust to do the right thing regardless of the circumstances?
Living Forward, Understanding Backward
Walking with the Lord always requires faith. Often faith and your relationship with Him is all you have to hold on to. As we circle back to March of 2001 to see where we have been the last 16 years, the journey has been nothing short of amazing.
A Heavenly Strategic Planning Session
I have 2 significant phone meetings today with groups we’ve worked with for several years in our business. I am uncertain what will happen with either. I do know that what ever the decisions are they will have significant impact on our lives and those around us.
Product Testing
Testing, I always hated tests in school. It seemed I could have a good grasp on the material but somehow fake myself out during the exam and miss the obvious answers. I would call that classic over thinking of the situation. That is no different than where I find myself today in our business.
Moving in Presumption
As we enter the final stretch of our season, the finish line is coming into focus. This has been a very long year with many trials. Uncertainty looms as we head into the off season. It looks like a few organizations are heading in a different direction that may affect what we do in 2017. There are 3 key words in that last sentence, looks, like and may. None of those words can be defined as absolutes.
