Taking It to Work: Today we’re going to talk about sharing your faith at work. It’s a scary subject for most, but it does not have to be. We’re not talking about sharing the full Gospel; that may come down the line later on. We’re talking about sharing your faith, or creating the opportunity to do so. It is different Read more
Taking It to Work: Those of us with children want to provide the best for them. We work hard to do so, but sometimes too hard. We can stay so busy and entrenched in our work, that in the extra effort to give our kids more, we actually give them less, and give ourselves and our spouses less too. We Read more
Taking it to Work: What makes you feel safe? It’s a loaded question isn’t it? We know that since it’s devotional time, that our answer should be a biblically-based response focusing on our faith in God’s love and provision. Although for most of us, if we are honest, our answer is counter-biblical. We feel secure when there is money in Read more
Taking It to Work: Are you a thief? Probably not, so you may have skipped over Eph 4:28. It starts out with the fact that we should not steal, but be involved in honest work. It is the last part that is of interest. Why does the scripture say that we should be involved in honest work? It wasn’t to Read more

Taking It to Work: Some changes are absolutely amazing. I remember as a kid, watching a caterpillar hang itself under a leaf. Right before my eyes, in maybe a matter of a minute or two, the outside of his body hardened and got sort of shiny, and the little leg he was hanging from turned into a weird thick stem. Read more
Taking It to Work: Do you know what the best coaches do? They push you. Any athlete worth mentioning, has had a coach, or likely many coaches, who pushed them beyond what they would have ever done themselves. Coaches made us get up early, and put more weight on the bar. They pressed us for those extra reps, laps, and Read more
Taking It to Work: Compared to the Elon Musks and the Bill Gates of the world, whatever we have in the bank, whatever house we live in, whatever car we drive, in their eyes we’re pretty much broke. Most of us will never see the incredible wealth these guys have. We are on another level all together. I’m not sure Read more
Taking It to Work: One of my favorite actors is Russell Crowe. Now I really don’t know much about him, except that whatever character he plays, it is always very, very believable, and they are not all the same. He’s very versatile and very convincing. Now, because I really don’t know Mr. Crowe, and I really don’t have the desire Read more
Taking It to Work: Someone told me one time that a fish doesn’t know it’s wet. I feel similar to that sometimes. Like you, I am so surrounded with blessings day in and day out, yet I can go for weeks not thanking, or even thinking of how blessed I really am. One of the main wellsprings of blessing in Read more
