Family Values
Back in 2009, as a family, we were blessed to have everyone together. It will stand out in my memory as one of the most wonderful “memory creating” times of my life. Just having all of you together was a feat in itself. Living in our fast paced world and knowing that each of you […]
You may not understand
In the early years, I could just tuck you into bed after family night and come back after you went to sleep and pray over you. Now, when you leave our house after family night, I think you know I love you and was glad you were here. I also guess that you enjoyed the […]
Unbelief
Years ago, when my faith, enthusiasm, zeal and energy level was unquenchable, I was determined to find myself in some sort of ministry. Over the years God showed me that decisions I made earlier in my life kept me from the pastorate or the likes. So, I decided that perhaps working with “Christian Organizations,” churches […]
I’m Tired
I am writing this on a Saturday and even though it may not post on that day of the week, I am supposed to be glad it is the weekend. It has been a long week, actually a long month with three new client companies, a trip to Philadelphia just behind and a trip to […]
Rainie Anne Coker
I am not sure if the motorcycle ride earlier in the day had anything to do with it, but my very first daughter arrived at 7:37AM on this day of 7/27 in 1974. With all of the 7’s in her date and time of birth, I had to believe this was going to be one […]
Engaging Others
As I head back home today from a week of facilitating QMQ training in Missouri, my mind is focused on getting home – back where things are familiar and somewhat predictable. Yet, each and every trip and training session is one of meeting and enjoying new people with their unique perspectives and skill sets. I […]
Amazing People
At a recent Tae Kwon Do testing, one of my adult students broke several bones his foot. I followed up several weeks later with his Kyle, his Senior Instructor to see how he was doing. The good news is that he was progressing. The better news that I discovered was that he was helping with […]
I’ve been manipulated!
During the 1970’s one of my favorite comedians was Flip Wilson. What he was able to do on his weekly show was keep the audience laughing from the first to last minutes with an honest to goodness “joy of life.” One of his favorite phrases during many of his skit roles for excusing bad behavior […]
God Signs
As I think back through my life there has been some times that touched me through someone or something and I have to believe there was great purpose in that. Life has a way of challenging us and our beliefs, bringing us useless doubts that cloud our vision of the eternal. None of us need […]
What Others Do Not Know
While reading the news several days ago, one of the big headlines was about two Miss USA finalists giving “stupid” answers and another one freezing during her questions. Our society has really sunken low when something like this becomes a headline. Much of media has made its living by criticizing and finding fault with both […]
