Money is the not the problem

Just finishing a half day with a group of people sitting in a room trying to figure out how to make money in this economy. Provision is a good thing and creative thinking whether it is about business or some thing else is also a good thing. MAKING MONEY IS NOT A BAD thing. Funny thing is...I have never missed a meal, never failed to get to anywhere I need to go and yet people are are up in arms about money. I have come to the distinct conclusion that fear is the greatest problem. Certainly, the talking heads have done us no favor with the things that are said in the names of reporting NEWS. MORE SPECIFICALLY, I have come to BELIEVE that FEAR of LACK is A DRIVING FORCE RIGHT NOW IN OUR CULTURE. Money is not the problem! All money does in "its abundance or when it is "hard to find" is open the window to the inside of us and shine a bright to what we are made OF. People are afraid I having nothing. Being old and not having enough! Being a thirty something and not possessing all that they think they should possess. Well, I have an clear precise answer for all that! Take a look within and see what you really believe. The driving motivation of who you are is not circumstantial but internal. I will promise you this! I will succeed, I will have peace, and circumstance will not dictate who I am and where I am going because simply PUT my life is driven by my insides! What I believe and How my belief system motivates ME. MONEY IS NOT THE PROBLEM

Finish Well

Greatest collection of writers are in one book. In that book it says that our days are numbered. Meaning it is already decided how long you will live. With that being said, you will spend one fifth to one third of that time sleeping that reduces the amount of time you have to finish WELL significantly. So each moment each thought each action extremely valuable to your journey. Why spend your precious time on negative thoughts about others, your creative thinking on that which not only fails to produce success for you but also drains your energy and distracts from where your focus ought to be. Finish well by taking your thoughts and demanding they are where not only they ought to be but more importantly where you want them to be. You decide what you think about and where your focus should BE make a great FOCUS

All Things Religious

Simple but encouraging All things Religious does mean All Things Pertaining to Spiritual or even better yet All things Pertaining to God. In simple moments when I am with the Father alone it is an amazing reality, uncomplicated, innocent, honest, and more real than the air I breathe. All things are put into perspective and the excess baggage I have been carrying falls off. True spiritual life is simple and uncomplicated. In contrast. I will allow myself both from within and form without, allow types of spirituality made by man formed ideas to put a demand on me and wow, how different life and the world becomes. I entered full time ministry 35 years ago with a simple cause introduce people to the God who changed me. How I let that morph into a religious cause within 20 years. It got complicated and heavy, now I am returning to All things Spiritual simple innocent and about the Father and His Son. Nothing else and it is both fulfilling and victorious

Looking at the wrong Indicators

It seems so easy to gather our thoughts, ideas and actions around the obvious. The media will certainly help you decide what you believe about you, your life, your country, the world. Other external. superficial markers can be easily found. Just pick any you including silly references to ancient Mayan calendars. Information, trends, and all that stuff will keep you insecure and lacking focus. You were meant to do mighty things or exploits as stated in my favorite book so states. World changer do not follow the crowd, give in easy to popular opinion or thought , and are not moved by circumstance or by some isolated random writing from violent ancient culture that worshipped everything but that which is worthy of worship. No they possess higher ideals, a better internal compass, and no where they are going and why. A good starting point, a great purpose, and an authentic finish line are where to be. Good counsel along the way with honest caring people of purpose of value is a great help. Who is really deciding who you are and where you are going?
