My 100-Day Plan, Day 24: The Problem with Pledging A Purpose
“Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.” Robert H. Schuller Murphy’s law, “whatever can go wrong, will go wrong,” kicks in the moment we pledge to live our purpose. For years, I randomly posted blog posts with nearly no problems. Twenty-four days ago I committed to writing and posting 100 consecutive blog posts and I've had...
My 100-Day Plan, Day 23: No News Is Good News
“For most folks, no news is good news; for the press, good news is not news.” Gloria Borger, journalist So, why do we watch it? More often than not, I end up clueless in discussions about what’s going on in today’s news because I don’t tune in. I used to at least keep up on Facebook. I’d click a link here and there, but it’s been months...
My 100-Day Plan, Day 22: Revival in Our Living Rooms and Pulpits
“America cannot be won by riots in the streets or war. America will be won or lost in the living rooms of our families and the pulpits of our churches.” Dr. Marshall Foster in his book The American Covenant: The Untold Story Kirk Cameron’s nightly American Campfire Revival is based on Dr. Foster’s book.

My 100-Day Plan, Day 20: Everybody’s Shot, Get In the Truck and Drive
A memorable conversation from the movie Black Hawk Down … Colonel: Get into that truck and drive. Sergeant: But I'm shot, Colonel. Colonel: Everybody's shot, get in and drive. Pastor JP used this snippet from the movie to illustrate the end of this morning’s sermon. He paraphrased the final line. I like his version...
My 100-Day Plan, Day 19: Wait 24 Hours
“Before you act, listen.Before you react, think.Before you spend, earn. Before you criticize, wait.Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try.”William Arthur Ward When I’m convinced it’s necessary to have a hard conversation or make a difficult decision, I wait 24 hours. If I think there’s absolutely no way I can put it...
My 100-Day Plan, Day 18: Create Space
“When you let go, you create space for better things.” Unknown “I wear life like a loose dress” was a favorite saying of my friend. She left space for a breeze between herself and her people.
