    Through the years I have come across lots of individuals who carry an unnecessary burden of defining themselves by something that doesn’t really define them at all. There may be some physical malady or imperfection that feels like a weight that they can’t get out from under. I know that this was true for me…

    One of the ideas that I was recently reminded of is the concept of dehabituation and rehabituation. I rather doubt that you’ve used either of these words…maybe ever! Let me explain something else that I have learned along the way… One of the changes that may be needed in a counseling or coaching situation is…

  • MORE WORDS

    In addition to learning that I’m not always right, that it is important to stay healthy, and that loneliness is a scourge on our society, there’s another thing that I have learned along the way: In many, if not most, cases more words is better than less words. It should be obvious that more words…

    How many times have you said, or thought, “If I knew then what I know now…”? For me? I’ve said that so many times I can’t even begin to count them! So often in our youth and young adulthood, we make assumptions that aren’t always on the mark. Then after a few years, we look…

                Do you ever have a personal “to-do” list?  I do.  Every spring my wife and I sit down and write down our summer projects, which usually means work we hope to accomplish outside, like building a terrace, splitting next winter’s firewood, planting blackberries, etc.  Needless to say, our reach often exceeds our grasp, which…

                I’m working on a new project.  It is my newest book entitled, What Fills Your Heart?  The premise of the book is to set several contrasts before the reader asking which of them fills their heart?  Some examples of chapter titles are: As I write I am encountering the leadership of the Holy Spirit…

                As a Christian Counselor, it is my privilege and responsibility to give biblical guidance to those individuals and couples who come to me for advice and direction.  It is important to me that clients understand that the foundation of my work is God’s Word.  God has given us clear and specific teachings in the…

    How often in your lifetime do you suppose you’ve heard or read the phrase “end-of-year”? There are always end-of-year sales during which everyone hopes to find great bargains from after Christmas items to end of the season garments. Stores are always looking to grab your attention with these phrases and sales in the hopes of…

    I’m reading a book. Nothing new or unusual about that. What is different is that the book was written in 1902, making it, perhaps, the oldest book I’ve ever read, outside of the Bible. The book is As A Man Thinketh, by James Allen. Overall the book is about having inner peace based on what…

    Not many seem to have it. Even fewer seem to know they need it. Fewer still are willing to make the effort to seek it or even ask for it. This is tragically the situation when it comes to wisdom in today’s world. We need knowledge, but more than that, we need the understanding of…
