Do you have a BIG Mouth?

"Word of mouth" just got louder! Poll 100 experts and ask what is the most efficient form of marketing and 70% would say word of mouth. It is so popular that in social media circle it is now know by the acronym "WOM". Yet there are others who would readily spew out a few other methods or mediums. Certainly one could argue that in some form or fashion, they would all be right! But I contend that the most successful ... Read more

A Ministry Lesson from the 4th Fireworks Celebration

I spent my Independence Day in my hometown of Savannah, GA with my extended family. Wow, it really was amazing. While I had spent time with these same people I had known all my life, something seemed apparent that this gathering was different from all those previous. This year as we gathered together for the purpose of having fun and visiting with one another, we were all decked out in our matching family reunion style t-shirts. Was that some of ... Read more

Are you a Champion?

"No surrender, no retreat we take the battlefield over EVERY time!" Wow. What a statement! Taken from the Los Angeles Lakers' Ron Artest's new single, "Champion", which he made sure he 'shouted-out' during his post game interview, this is a mantra that I am definitely adopting. Today marks the first day of summer and what I see as a season for champions. Summer, the end the NBA season, the peak of the World Cup, the time of year where ... Read more

Soar don’t settle

I hope you got a chance to enjoy some BBQ, baked beans, just plain, good ole fashion grillin' as my uncle would say. Memorial Day, traditionally, marks the beginning of a season of family fun in the sun: beaches, vacations, time with family and friends.

Decreased attendance, sporadic ... Read more

A Life of Sacrifice

Happy Memorial Day! It takes a brave man or woman to sacrifice their life for that of someone else. Even if it is someone you know, love, and trust. OK, be honest, would you without hesitation, willingly throw yourself in front of a moving train for your old nagging auntie? What about your cousin who always wants to borrow $20? Now imagine, giving up your life for a complete stranger? Or someone that openly disrespects you, ... Read more

Keep Moving Forward

"No man having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom..." Luke 9:62 One of my all time favorite movies is Meet the Robinsons. Not only is it a brilliantly crafted animation, which is quite entertaining, the overriding moral message is one that has stuck with me now three years after its release. It is no wonder why this fit-for-the-family film received 8 academy nominations. While Lewis, the main character had a hilariously, strange family and ... Read more
