3 Tips to Survive the Summer Slump in Ministry
Did summer seem to sneak up on you? I know it comes every year, but I feel like without enough notice my girls were out of school, my team members were requesting vacation, and my expansion activities were on pause.
I know I am not alone.
Has this ever happened to you? Here's what these past two weeks have taught me: (1) it IS possible to bounce back from lack of a baby-sitter and (2) believe it or not -- I can ...

TIME: A Tool for Ministry Expansion or a Source of Growth Distraction?
Leaders seeking to lead thriving ministries commonly express struggle in one of three critical ministry growth factors: time, team, or financial resources. There’s never enough time to complete all that needs to be done. Rarely are the skills of the staff sufficient for the task at hand. And money? I can write pages on the gaping hole between ministry vision and financial provision. The truth is, we have more than we think in each of these ministry growth areas but realizing ...

Reboot. ReCalibrate. ReStart. part 2
Skype, iTunes, and Blackberry Desktop are three programs critical to my daily productivity. Yep, I would be lost (professionally and personally) without my three amigos. Why these three? Well Skype allows me to quickly and easily reach out to my team members, colleagues and family members for one-on-ones or group meetings. My iTunes library gives me easy access to my favorite inspirational songs (a must-have to start each day) and should I need to "whip my head back in forth" I ...

Reboot. ReCalibrate. ReStart. part 1
Reboot. Reset. I need a do over! Is that how you feel today? Last night, while speaking with a friend and fellow entrepreneur, she blurted out sentiments of which I could readily identify: "Why is this computer going so SLOW???Arrrghhhh!" As if this burst a dam, she further went on, "Doesn't it know that this is month-end and I have got to get this report done in the next hour?"

What do you expect? Really??
As volunteer taxi driver for my 11-year old daughter, Jasmine, I received an amazing revelation. Jasmine and a teammate ran the car eager to head to basketball practice. Full of energy from God only knows where, they hopped in offering half-hearted greetings (parents you know the drill). Less than 30 seconds into our trip, Jasmine's guest reached for the radio tuner and boldly asks "can I turn this?" Stunned, I gulped. (Ok, let me be transparent, I was appalled!) My ...

Focus on results!
Standing in the voters' line, my heart raced with great expectation. While it may sound admirable (me being full of expectation…LOL!) at the time it seemed quite ridiculous. Everything around me was utterly chaotic. Nothing was going as planned, yet on the inside I was better than calm, I was fully expectant! I had no idea why? A trip that was supposed to take an hour took 3 and ½ hours! My 1:30PM appointment was not prepared and my 2:30PM was ...

It’s worth the fight!
As the leaves begin to change and fall to the ground and the cycle of life continues, I find myself solemnly reflecting on a recent conversation between myself and a close friend. A dear friend and colleague called me late one afternoon inquiring if I had time for a quick update and overview regarding pending projects. “Sure, I do!” I answered in my most cheerful voice. The conversation took a normal and completely ordinary path until we were getting ready to ...
