As I sat down to write about all the amazing truths in Romans 12 I just didn’t feel that anything I could write would do this chapter justice. So I put the pen down. God’s word is sufficient. There’s nothing more I could really say that would be as impactful. I love this chapter! So today my post is Romans 12 from The Message. Whew! “So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t…

How a leader acts with the circumstances of work life will tell you many things about their character. Adversity & crisis have a powerful way of allowing us to choose one of two paths: either character or compromise. When we choose the path of character, we will grow stronger even if it is a more difficult path. Character is the foundation of how a leader builds their life, it reflects their core values, their moral excellence, their firmness in what they believe. Being a person of faith along with many reading this blog, we believe in Jesus and the Gospels. We desire to follow God’s will and His ways –…

Last year on April 8, 2022 I published a blog titled ‘Leaving the Crowd.’ At the time I wrote this blog I had just navigated three months of consistent heartache; from the near loss of my Mother, my sister’s cancer diagnosis, to the sudden death of my very loved step father. My heart was mourning and I was clinging to my faith. And in that moment as God gave me that blog, I had realized that just like Jesus, I too needed my quiet mountain time. I needed that time of grief in the garden. So now we are a year later and I’ve had so very many days to…

Five years ago I woke up early in a California hotel room to practice one last time for a Ted Talk I had prepared for my company’s top executive leaders. I was beyond nervous but also excited. The topic was about creating a vision and leading a team to the end goal. One of my favorite leadership topics!!! But first I had to start with my daily Bible reading. It still gives me chills when I think about it. But in my daily reading God put these verses before me that morning. “God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well…

No one should want to sin knowing how much God dislikes it and can separate us from Him.  God knows all and sees all, He does not ignore it when we sin, it does matter to Him. “The Redeemer will come to Jerusalem to buy back those in Israel who have turned from their sins.” says the Lord. Isaiah 59:20 When we willfully sin and have a persistent rebellious heart we must turn to God. I read the following today, “sin fills the vacuum left when God’s truth no longer fills our life.  Only God can defeat sin.” NLT Application teaching Bible Isaiah Sin separates us from God and at…

Today we will celebrate the life of Jordan Washburn…a servant for our Lord is how he can be described.  Jordan was our first salesman at Morrisette back in 1962.  He has set the bar high in performance but even more so in his character and how he treats people. He flowed character like Jesus and loved everyone. I have known Jordan since 2005 and also his son Jess, who is currently in sales at Morrisette. When Jordan entered a room he had that thing, where everyone wanted to hear what he was going to say or just a chance to shake his hand. He genuinely cared about everyone he encountered.…
