What are your “go to” words?
Do you have "words to live by?"
Recently, when Layne called to share the heartbreaking news from the doctor, my unspoken mental response was, "What can I go to?"
Meaning, what is it within my realm of knowledge and understanding that I ...
Thoughts from the week
Happy Friday.
Instead of words today, I am including the link for the message from Ash Wednesday.
Because of technical difficulties followed by crappy life difficulties, you didn't get this Wednesday or yesterday. So . . . . here it is. I ...
Ash Wednesday
Today is Ash Wednesday.
The time we receive a mark on our foreheads reminding us,
"From dust we came and from dust we shall return. Repent and believe the Gospel."
Or . . . phrasing it this way . . .
"We are reminded of our humble ...
Are you a nosey neighbor?
Growing up, I always thought my grandmother was nosey. She had a fascination with our neighbors I just didn't understand. When asked, she'd reply, "Someone needs to watch out for them."
I didn't understand that because it seemed she was ...
The Million Dollar Question
I didn’t want to walk the dogs the other night.
One of our leaders of West found out her mother was in the final stages of life. I was bummed for her, sad for what she was going to have to face in the upcoming moments, hours, and days. I ...
Motivation vs Commitment
As we’ve shared, part of getting out of our negative space and not allowing our chimp brains to control us involves getting a plan.
However, even that comes with its own hurdles.

“That the birds of worry and care fly over your head, this you cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent.”
So, after we are willing to accept things for ...
Where do you stay?
“Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow; it only saps today of its joy.” -Leo F. Buscaglia.
Part of our Chimp brain is that it refuses to move on when we encounter difficulties in life.
Learning to be in the moment and allow ourselves to ...
Beauty in Realizations
Just a fun thing to do on this Friday . . . .
Wednesday night, we had a candle-making class at the West office to have adequate candles/gifts for the faculty at Lake Norman High.
Our intent is to say "thanks" for allowing us to use their ...
What’s in a name?
When preparing for our first born we spent a lot of time thinking about names. If you have named a child, most likely have you've wrestled with the same thing.
Family traditions/namesakes.
Cultural and Ethnic significance.
Religious ...
Learning from Elijah’s Mistakes
We’ve been talking about Elijah's story. He was an absolute badass; he stood down 850 false prophets and conquered them all. Yet then, after that epic victory, Queen Jezebel’s threat to kill him sent him over the edge. So much so that he wished ...
Fail, Fail Fast, and Learn from Your Mistakes
I shared yesterday one mantra for the staff when they become anxious, worried, or overwhelmed.
The second thing we live by is “It is ok to fail. Please - fail. But fail fast and learn from your mistakes.”
We never want staff to become so ...
