I have been challenging myself lately to really work on developing my leadership abilities and potential. Mostly, this has consisted of me spending more time reading leadership materials, practicing leadership and being assertive in the acts of my everyday life, and observing good or bad leadership characteristics in others.

A few days ago I knew I was going to have the whole day free. After mulling all the lazy and pointless things I could do with those hours I decided to do something I have never done before – read a book in a day. I know that for most people this is no [...]

A lot has been going on in my life lately. I got so used to saying “nothing” or “just work” over the past year or so when people would ask me what was up in my life. Only a couple times have I actually caught myself and responded to their simple inquiries by telling them [...]

It kind of amazes me [...]

Here’s the rest of my list of thoughts on prayer:
Pray according to God’s will. Instead of praying aimless laser tag prayers where I am randomly trying to hit and miss with my request, let my prayer be asking God what His will is in this situation. Ask Him to bring to mind truth or principles [...]

I have a pretty good collection of quotes and ideas on my computer titled “thoughts on prayer”. Most of these are not my thoughts or original ideas. They come from many sources and some I’m not even sure where I got them but every once in a while I scroll through them as a reminder. [...]
