Stepping Stones

What is your biggest obstacle, your BEST excuse? Why not focus on the solution to all your problems, rather than focus on the problem itself? It might not be an obstacle at all, but rather a mere stepping stone. (HE is much bigger than anything in my way-- I think I'll just roll with Him)

Going Home!

Today I saw a guy walk thru the room with an officer, while wearing white with blue stripes (while I was speaking to a group of inmates in the prison). Then he came walking back thru wearing a white shirt, khaki pants and tennis shoes (because the day to go home for him had obviously arrived)... When the other men saw him come out of the room dressed differently they broke into applause, at just the moment we were talking about them imagining and creating their own "go home" date... It was a beautiful moment. One of the inmates exclaimed: "Look he's even walking differently!" Priceless.

Perspective

Wouldn't it be a shame to go through life seeing things from only one persepective? Change positions and look at things from a new angle today-- you already know how YOU see things; try seeing the world the way someone else sees it. Vantage point makes a huge difference... "Change the way you look at things and the things you look at CHANGE."

Doers

Do something today that you KNOW is right, that frightens you a little bit. Push yourself into action and OUT OF planning, thinking, talking, planning some more, talking a bit more, having a meeting to have another meeting, and then thinking about maybe doing something next week... There are talkers and there are DOERS. Do something today that takes guts and is all about helping someone who really needs it-- it will set you freeeeeeeeeeeee.

True Rest

Want to know why the whole world seems tired? And we know that people are more on edge, irritable and unproductive when they are tired... It's because it is not the body that needs the rest; it's the SOUL. People are dead tired because their Soul is weary... I say it's time to wake up. (then you won't even need a vacation-- but you'll enjoy the ones you do take even more-- because you will have TRUE rest) Join The True Rest...

Boo Birds

Don't let anyone tell you what you "can't" do... Either they tried and couldn't do it, or more likely, they didn't have the guts to try in the first place. Either way it's easier for them to hate on your dream than to sacrifice for their own... You just go do what you need to do-- you were born for this, and you were built for it-- don't listen to the boo-birds, go and find your miracle-- it's waiting for YOU.

Darkness and Light

Here's the deal... If evil can repent, and I've seen it happen, then nothing is impossible. If pure evil can change directions and be restored to goodness and love, then there's no more need for judgment and "us against them" or "just throw them all away” because “ they’re a lost cause..." We will take Love & Light into the dark and dangerous places and watch miracles happen: evil will repent just like everything else that comes into contact with pure love and holiness-- mercy triumphs over judgment and God will get His lost children back... Now that’s enough to get me up in the morning and keep me up late at night. We'll take the battle into the enemy's own kitchen-- and overcome him with LOVE.

Wow

What an amazing couple of days at a prison in Ohio... When the warden was asked what he tought of our program he stated, and I quote, "You would have to be smoking crack not to want this program in your prison, and I don't smoke crack." We shot seven hours of incredible, raw footage for our first documentary: The Power of Peace... God is so good.
