Monday Memo 1168: Thrive or Just Survive?
So what is your fruit? What is the purpose of your life? You must answers those questions regardless of your age, for God's promises or expectations don't have an expiration date. What's more, since the joy of the Lord is your strength, if you want strength in your latter years, you must...
Monday Memo 1167: "I Did It"
You have choices to make if you're a person of purpose. God isn't going to direct your every step. You'll have to do things that are consistent with who God made you to be if you want God to "remember" you. You'll have to be able to list what you've done if you want to hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant."
Monday Memo 1166: Gray Hair
In our series titled 'Never Too Old for Purpose," I include some personal reflections on a passage from the psalms: I will always put my hope in you; I will praise you more and more.

September 8, Mind Your Business
Today’s verse contains three commands for you to follow. The first is to “be still before the Lord.” Just the other day, you hopefully read an entry in this book named Silence, which urged you to spend some quiet time away from the noise of cell phones and computers. The next command is to “wait patiently” for Him. This does not mean you live a passive life, but rather...
September 7, A Spacious Place
David was in trouble again, but he took comfort in the fact that God saw and knew about it. David was surrounded by his enemies, but God put him in a spacious place. In other words, David had options that would allow him to escape or defeat his enemies, because the Lord was with him. God knows what you are going through and...
