Any activity that gets your heart rate up
and moves your muscles qualifies as physical
activity.  Some ideas to live a more active
lifestyle are gardening, cleaning your home,
washing your car by hand, skating, walking
briskly or bouncing on a mini trampoline.

only impossible until someone does it! Why can't that person be you? Never

believe your doubts and never doubt your passions!"

The Value of Devotion

"The secret of life is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to,

something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for your whole life.

And the most important thing is - it must be something you think to be almost

impossible." ~Henry Moore

average American consumes 170 pounds

diets are composed of white sugar and

since sugar actually feeds cancer.

SEVEN TEMPTATIONS LEADERS FACE

SEVEN TEMPTATIONS LEADERS FACE

#1 – Wasting Time – We live in a world where it is easier to waste time than it ever has been before. Comment wars on blogs, tweeting arguments, browsing through random facebook pages and numerous other things can absolutely distract us from what we were put on this planet to do. (BTW…I don’t think the world will EVER be changed because of the comment section on a blog!!!)

#2 – Cruise Control – Leadership is exhausting, and so we must constantly battle the desire to just allow things to be the way they are. This mentality will put us on course towards an iceberg that will sink even the largest ship!

#3 – Excuse Making – When a problem/difficult situation arises we can either deal with it or simply excuse it away. And people who make excuses rarely make a difference because they are way more obsessed with doing what is easy rather than doing what is right.

#4 – Being Passive – This is a cousin of #3, but passivity has no place in leadership. Ignoring a problem does not make it go away; in fact, it often makes it become larger and in many cases, overwhelming. If a problem comes to your attention DEAL WITH IT, don’t deny it. God brought it to your attention because you are the leader and you are the one called to make the tough decision.

#5 – Copying – We should NEVER be ashamed of borrowing ideas from others! I honestly feel that there really aren’t any original ideas on the planet…and even if the idea is “original” that person was given the idea from the Holy Spirit…so it actually isn’t original in the first place. However, when we build a ministry based on the imitation of others rather than revelation from God we do so out of laziness…and God NEVER honors laziness.

#6 – Meaningless Fights – Someone IS going to attack your church/ministry…and one of the easiest ways to get sidetracked is to begin to fight with people who don’t know you, care about you or care about your church.

#7 – Playing It Safe – When a leader stops taking risks because there is too much to lose…he is closer to losing everything than he actually realizes. We don’t follow a Savior who played it safe, if He said “take up your cross and follow me” then we need to understand that sacrifice and risk WILL be involved if we want to go where He is leading.

Dead Men Walking

"Many live life believing what they do everyday doesn't really matter. They are

"dead men walking!" The reality of your life is shaped by the accumulation of

the small things you do. You must understand that even the small this you do

can be important, uniquely special and make a difference....I challenge you to

passionately live today based on that fact."
