ALS: HOW GOD CAN USE A TERMINAL DIAGNOSIS Uncategorized

ALS: HOW GOD CAN USE A TERMINAL DIAGNOSIS

Jeremy Williams was known as the "Georgia Assassin" when he played NCAA football for the University of Memphis. Today, the legs that carried him to gridiron glory now rest on the metal base of a wheelchair. His lungs, which at one time were used to inhale oxygen deeply after a long run, are controlled by a ventilator, and his voice, which gave speeches, encouraged teammates and coached players, is silenced. He uses his index finger to push the wheelchair's trigger to move his machine. He and Lou Gerhrig share an athlete's heart and a disease's death sentence - ALS. A Family Is For Facing Life Together After graduation from Memphis, Jeremy married Jennifer, his high school crush and their first…

LOVE AND RESPECT IN THE FAMILY Uncategorized

LOVE AND RESPECT IN THE FAMILY

There are two affirmations hidden in plain sight in the Bible: 1. Children need the love that God tells parents to give them (Titus 2:4). 2.

15 Principles for a Better Way to Live

Today is a special gift from God. He was once a 35-year old derelict, alcoholic, who planned to spend his last dollars on a gun so he could kill himself.

Og Mandino summed up the principles that transformed his life in what he called, "A Better Way to Live." 1. Count your blessings. 2.

BREAKING THE WORRY HABIT BEFORE IT BREAKS YOU Uncategorized

BREAKING THE WORRY HABIT BEFORE IT BREAKS YOU

Its not as though there aren't things that are worthy of worry. If you start with financial pressures, work expectations, cutbacks, relational strains, health crises...where do you stop? However, over half of Canadians report irritability, anger, fatigue or sleeplessness. Worry can be a bad habit...the most deadly one. Worry kills more people than work because more people worry than work. How To Break The Worry Habit Before It Breaks You 1. Decide just how much anxiety a thing may be worth and refuse to give it more. If you don't worry at all, that is living in denial. Worry has a productive function. It motivates you to take constructive action. Habitual worry paralyses you, causing you to slow down, pull…

A Life Saving Practice Uncategorized

A Life Saving Practice

How do you start your day? I begin mine with the Bible (and a coffee.) Reading the Bible has been more than a good habit. It saved my life. Distress. I went through a serious encounter with distress in the third year of my career as a pastor. For almost two months I was awakened in the middle of the night unable to breathe. My lungs felt like they were shutting down. If you've ever had the wind knocked out of you, that's how it felt. My doctor said it was not physiological. He asked me what was going on in my life. "Your body is under distress and is shutting down to protect you." Awakening. One morning, after the…
