Let me give you some practical advice. Three things that have tended to help me deal with my priorities and events that happen in my day.
1. There are only 24 hours in a day. There is only so much you can get done today – so be realistic when you schedule your day. Don’t schedule your day so

INFLUENCE

And they’re watching night and day;
There are little ears that quickly
Take in every word you say;
There are little hands all eager
To do anything you do;
And a little boy who’s dreaming
Of the day he’ll be like you.
You’re the little fellow’s

Several days later, the mailman delivered a package to the

I had a student ministry during college. One day, my wife and a lady of the church were traveling around with me, visiting kids to form a youth group. Out of the blue, we had a flat tire. It was a hot summer day, but we had everything we needed to go ahead and get it changed on the spot. Back

I remember one of comedian Bill Cosby’s comedy routines in which he tries to explain just a few of the differences in how a mother and father would react to a child. In this specific incident, the child picks up a piece of dirty driftwood out of the gutter and brings it to mother saying, “Look Ma,

HOW DOES GOD PURSUE ME?
You know it’s just stunning when you think of how tenaciously God pursues us. I grew up in a thoroughly pagan home. My father was raised a Muslim and my mother grew up pretty much oblivious to God. Yet, despite this, I cannot tell you how many different individuals God

I’d like you to listen to this poem entitled Ready for Christmas as I conclude this sermon.
“Ready for Christmas,” she said with a sigh
