Making Decisions and Your Life Direction

April 4th, 2013|

Some things to ponder when making a decision how to find direction in life…

Your decision will impact someone else: Unless you are living on an island, each decision has a ripple effect. Plus, living alone on the island has already impacted us. We miss you!
Your decision will have lasting consequences: Cause and affect are like breathing. What cause and what […]

Decisions that Change Your Life

April 3rd, 2013|

Traveling across the nation as a keynote inspirational speaker for many diverse events at various organizations, I have found a common thread—people contemplating some decision in life. I love inspiring them. Most live life based only on what they see.  Unfortunately, often this view has limitations framed in disappointment and could be discouraging. However, living […]

Overcoming Adversity: Sink or Swim

April 3rd, 2013|

Is overcoming adversity important?

Once JFK was asked when he decided to become a war hero. He replied, “When they sunk my boat.”

Sink or swim is still the decision of all of us when faced with unplanned events and outcomes. Often, help to overcome disappointment means looking at the life of others. I never expected […]

Seeing Beyond in The Chicken Car

April 1st, 2013|

One day I decided to show gratitude to my dear friend, Judy, on her birthday. The only problem was finding a way to execute my idea. I loved this friend who had given of her time and gasoline to drive me on errands each week. Our times together developed a close friendship and gave us […]

Surprise!

March 11th, 2013|

It is rare you ever catch me in bed early. However, last week, I hit a wall. So, on Friday night I was dressed for bed by 5:00p.m after weeks of non-stop meetings, activities and a very busy convention I had attended. Though too tired to even sleep, and feeling weepy, I decided to […]

Guess Who I Met: Pope Benedict XVI

March 1st, 2013|

In March of 2010 we took our youngest children, Lydia and Connor, with us to Europe. I spoke fifteen times in eighteen days in the nation of Spain. After a grueling schedule and long days, we ended our Europe trip by spending three days in Rome. Though I write on Fridays who I have […]

Supersize It!

February 27th, 2013|

Have you ever been asked at a fast-food restaurant, “Care to super-size your order?” For only a few cents more, you can have your drink and fries super-sized to the largest available. What a deal! More sugar, fat and salted grease—for a savings.  America in general has enlarged their portions and super-sized plates of […]

Guess Who I Met: Jeff Kriet

February 22nd, 2013|

I hate to profile anyone, but my image of a fisherman is someone who steals away in the early morning hours to find a quiet fishing hole, escaping his world and keeping worms warm in his mouth. I know many a man who can’t wait to enjoy their hobby, out on a lake with […]

Guess Who I Met: Dick and Rich Bott

February 15th, 2013|

I love the word legacy. Meeting a father-son team last year at the National Religious Broadcaster (NRB) Convention introduced me to two new friends who have a rich legacy in radio. Dick Bott, now 80, and his son, Rich Bott, pioneered and own and the Bott Radio Network, based in the Kansas City area. […]

34 Hours!

February 13th, 2013|

Last weekend my speaking assignments took me to Lynchburg, Virginia, to speak at Liberty University. Our flight left at noon so we were afforded half a day to work in the office before catching our US Air out of DFW. With nine minutes to spare after going through security, we stood at the gate […]
