I prefer blues, but even reggae is fun when it’s a live band with horns.

I forget the kids are interested in their family history.

Like Linus, we can “fear not” and place our full trust in God, for the infinite has become flesh.

I don’t have to project past experience with him into the present.

It doesn’t work to know all the tricks when part of the fun is learning the game.

Our humility should drive us to serve and become visible signs of His love.

He continues to do whatever he’s asked so I’d better make sure it’s everything.

The immediate problem is the compound effect of bad decisions, not someone over-reacting to something yesterday.

A deal capped off an extra-large peppermint mocha, a christmas party, and a steak dinner! (Did I mention a deal?!)

Slowing down and asking questions moved us smoothly to an agreement (and apparently an unlikely broker was also smoothing things behind the scenes).

Even though it was a bit awkward, the end of a long day was not the time to discuss my deal.

I need to remember they need me more than I need them in case they continue to believe the opposite.

Buying a car in one day started with his brother caring enough to see it for sale.

Secular demands lead us to anxiety, but the season calls us to REJOICE!

Dinner and movie can work just as well at home if no one else is around.

Work socks and workout socks shouldn’t be the same, at least not on the same day.

When you get first-hand experience with them, people that you heard were “bad” can suddenly become “good.”

…And fair isn’t equal. Because you have to earn or pay for something that others already have (even if they didn’t have to earn or pay for it), doesn’t mean it’s unjust.

Leading with what you need is not nearly as compelling as what you contribute.

You have to rise and say a few words when your in charge and it’s your event.
