Creative Callings

** Originally written for In Motion Certified Leaders and Leaders in Training ** I don't know your opinion or if you have ever even thought about it, but all of us reading this email and those you see at IMLT are pretty different creatures. Differences range from trivial to things that we consider to be basic aspects of our personality and character. I could spit…

You Can Do It

Most of you are familiar with the Nike slogan – “Just Do It.” If you will indulge me for a few minutes, I would like to chat about “getting it done.” Let’s turn first to the Bible, specifically John 19:30. We see recorded here a powerful moment when Jesus declared: “It is finished!” Have you ever considered what was finished?…

Returning Home from the Mission FieldMission Trips

4 Tips for Returning Home from a Mission Trip

A lot of people ask me how many mission trips I’ve been on. Unfortunately, I have no idea. My parents started traveling with my brother and me when we were just little munchkins. We grew accustomed to traveling and the intensity of mission trips at a very early age. However, that fact does not change the roller coaster that happens…

Dance Like No One Is Watching!

Health Coaching tip: Dancing literally throws stress off you. Everything dances, but not everyone does…. So then, will you?   Walking through the airport on one of my constant visits, I was in a bit of a rush.
