Wow. Audrey Assad, I was a ginormous fan of yours before, but now you’ve gone to a whole ‘nother level for me. Wow. Had no idea about your dad and your work ethic… you’re an inspiration.

Thank you, Chad, for writing this and pointing out the entitlement that I also find very disheartening. This issue strikes both a nerve and a chord with me, as I walk...

Courage
At the end of the day, we all have one thing in common. At the end of the day, no matter how old we are, no matter how much stuff or power we have accumulated, no matter how much love we have in our lives, we are all lost little girls and boys. And I think the most courageous among us are those who choose to stay in touch with this fact. There is no security outside of Christ. There just...

The Greatest Irony
I’m watching Last Call With Carson Daly, and he just interviewed some actress from some new Showtime show. They talked about how she, in this new show, has numerous sex scenes, and takes her clothes off. The actress said things like “Well, I think it’s interesting to see a female character who is really secure in her sexuality, and is almost aggressive with it”. She said...
Andrew Steven: Loved By God →
andrewsteven:
“This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they’ve done…
Life
Sometimes I actually can’t believe how good life is. I am really, really lucky. This isn’t to say that life isn’t hard. It is. Often extremely hard, and extremely messy. But man, is it good.

Holy. Crap.
I hope you know me well enough to know that I don’t say these words lightly:
For the past couple of weeks, it has been as if God has opened the floodgates of blessing on my business. We. Are. Slammed. Like we never have been before. And I’ve also got something really exciting on the books that you’ll hear all about later. I mean, something really, really cool.
I don’t...

Don't Market Make Relationships
coreygonzalez:
Relationships can take you way further then marketing to the masses. Quality relationships lead to referrals and other great relationships. Think about the brands or business’ your are loyal too. Also, think about the ones you have abandoned and the reason why? Don’t let that happen to your business! Care about the people you serve and build quality relationships.

On Planning
I hear folks say things like “Don’t plan. Things never work out as you plan”. To me, this is crazy! To me, planning is everything. Everything starts with a plan. Because when you plan, you are forced to think about all kinds of stuff you otherwise wouldn’t. When you plan, you are forced to face the brutal facts.
WatchWow. This is incredible.

Correlation
I cannot think of any single factor that contributes to my personal happiness more than the amount of time I spend with my family. Those two girls are everything to me.
