Newsflash: Praying is not enough

Steve Jobs quote
Be tough on yourself. And be gentle when it’s called for.

 

We pray for transformational change. For the world. For the people we love. Even for ourselves.

Newsflash: Praying is not enough.

May 2016 bring you the unquenchable desire to do three simple things:

  1. rethink
  2. reprioritize
  3. recommit

Yeah, it’s simple, and it’s that hard.

PS. i’m not praying for you, i’m writing five daily, differently-themed blogs to inspire you to be bold, determined, and humble.

The drum lessons of life

Small midwestern home
Last week in Valparaiso, walking to an interview. Drum lesson sign lower left.

 

Father Ennis has four more Sundays and then he retires.

Fifty years of official service.

Wow. Just wow.

My Dad was a drummer for roughly 50 years.

Both men, devoted to their passion.

Will we be devoted to anything for five decades?

Christmas Eve on September 15.

What does this mean?

i’m sitting in a Best Western Valparaiso hotel room, writing the five daily, differently-themed blog posts like i have every day for the past 2,358 days.

Somehow over the past 6.5 years i’ve written a 100-day surplus of posts on all five websites.

This one, being written on September 15, will post on Christmas eve.

Whatever you celebrate, may you find peace, joy, love, and hope in it.

Abundantly.

Beyond measure.

Is the Christian CPA tempted by money?

Coca Cola is a money making machine. Do profits and growth tempt them?

 

Is the Christian CPA tempted by money?

Met him yesterday and we spoke for two hours.

The initial thought in visiting his spacious office was the size of his overhead:

Real estate across the street from Universal Studios. A small staff of tax professionals and a receptionist, plus his salary.

Praying that he’s never tempted by money.
