Watching the news lately, I’m really seeing what so many of us are seeing, and that is that the world’s economies look like they’re really struggling, and us along with them. Folks here in the US are feeling it. Gas prices going up… AGAIN… Food prices… OUTTA SIGHT… Lost jobs… But right now… today… I [...]
I’m still “high” from staffing the February 2011 New Warrior Training last weekend in Central Texas. I’m high because I have a ton of hope. I’ll be honest, I’ve seen the news a bit too much lately, and there’s a part of me that is concerned about the shape the world’s in right now. Particularly [...]
About three and a half years ago, I was in a situation that required me to go to a place of deep trust and faith inside. I don’t tend to be a real “faithful” kind of guy, so this was really new to me. It was a matter of life and death for me – [...]
OK, so it wasn’t exactly milk… It was cream… Last week, I was in my car, driving around like a crazy man. Too many things to do, and too little time. So… I was in a hurry. I had just picked up a bunch of coffee from Starbucks for a customer event that I was [...]
Licorice, our 12 year old German Shepherd, passed away on Christmas Eve. I had been talking to a friend a couple of weeks ago about life and living, and at some point in our conversation, he made the comment that he was now very happy and content because he is no longer afraid of dying. [...]
My wife, Victoria, makes beautiful hand crafted gifts. You can find many of them HERE. And when I say hand crafted, I mean just that – she makes each of them one at a time, with all the love and the care that anyone would put into making a unique gift for a loved one. [...]
You may or may not know that I had a radio show on the Law Of Attraction Radio Network for close to a year – the Give Away A Dollar A Day show. I was excited when I first started it, but soon realized that it was taking quite a bit of time to prepare [...]
I recently went to a conference where one of the events was a get together in a really nice hotel. It was a beautiful place! If you read my posts, you may know by now that I’ve started taking piano lessons. I am a music nut, and I’m having more fun than ever learning a [...]
I’m 52 years old. By some standards, that’s approaching old fart status… I’ve been playing the guitar for 40 years, been singing for about 15 of ‘em. I absolutely love music, playing it, writing it, composing it, producing it. Music is in my blood. And I’ve recently made a real stretch with music… I’ve started [...]
I went to the bank today to make a deposit, and decided that this was where I was going to Give Away A Dollar A Day. So I sat in my car before going in, and said a prayer around this give away. My give away prayer is whatever I’m drawn to in the moment [...]
Joan Adams is amazing! I’ll be browsing through my e-mails, and then I’ll find one from her with the most incredibly inspiring story in it!! Joan, I don’t know where you find all of these, but I do thank you so much for sending them my way. This most recent one that you sent is [...]
My wife, Victoria, needed to go get her driver’s license renewed, and asked me to write down the directions for her on how to get there. I had done this many times before, because she admittedly is not good with directions. But the sad part is that, for years, I grumbled about it and became [...]
I’ve learned so much from Give Away A Dollar A Day. And I am coming to understand that its lasting and graceful lesson is that giving, in it’s truest and purest form, is unconditional. Now most often, when we hear the word “unconditional”, we think of love… And I can think of no better example [...]
I wonder if I’m alone in this… Many times throughout my life, I have had grand ideas of making a difference in the world. I’ve published web sites and spread the word about global prayer. I have spoken to congregations about creating positive change. I write this blog, and the weekly Inspirations From Give Away [...]
When I first started to Give Away A Dollar A Day, I journaled on what I was doing, how I was doing it, and what I was experiencing. I recently ran across some of those notes that I wrote early on about what I was learning along the way. I thought that it might be [...]
