To make and error does not constitute the end. We will all make many of them, but those of us that use them as tools to create from are the ones that we will hear about as they make a difference in our world.

Power Quote:

An error lets us know that we need to make a turn.

Rhon Johnson ( 1966 –     ) 

That’s what He did for us. Now all we have to do is accept it and live a free life even though we are still not perfected yet.

Scripture Reference:

John 16:33(b)

In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

So many of us are troubled by our past to the point that we can’t enjoy our lives today. And what about our future? If our past is destroying our present, then there is no hope for our future. The only way our past can darken our future is if we allow it. Our past is a memory of what happen that should be used as a learning tool to brighten our future, regardless of what has happened. Looking back at our past to learn from it is actually looking to the future.

Power Quote:

The past is valuable if used as a guidepost, but dangerous if used as a hitching post.

Need is a strong word. Most of, when we use the word need we are actually talking about something we want. I need is something that we must have like oxygen and water. Needs come on different levels for different things. For example, what we need to survive are not like the things needed to sustain a relationship. If we are to truley succed at what we are doing, we must differentiate from what is needed as opposed to what is wanted.

Power Quote:

You can’t always have what you want, so don’t mistake a want for a need.

Rhon Johnson ( 1966 –       )

It is a tremendous force that comes in many forms. It can build a community or it can destroy one. We need to recognize where we have power and make sure that we are using it appropriately.

Power Quote:

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s, give him power.

Abraham Lincoln  ( 1809 – 1865 )

A mentor of mine once told me that if I know my limitation, know my enemy, and I know myself, that I could achieve anything in life I wanted. Most of us are oblivious of the fact that most of our problems are caused by us. Which means we need to get a clue about ourselves. We should take some time to analyze ourselves. Why do we do some of the things we do? Why do we respond to certain things the way we do? It’s in our best interest to know ourselves.

Power Quote:

Beware of no man more than thyself.

I remember once when I was right in the middle of a mess that I had created  for myself. I was really thinking about just throwing in the towel. That’s when God spoke to me in my heart and said, “If you will honor Me, I well honor you.” Those words caught me off guard but also changed my life. Now, I know we mess up on a daily basis, but remember that God is watching our heart. Do we have a heart of honor.? If you will honor Him, He will honor you. If we get on board with what is important to Him, He will get on board with whats important to us.

Power Quote:

I honor God by keeping His statutes, and when I have not kept them, I honor Him by quickly saying I’m sorry as well as correcting the wrong.

Rhon Johnson ( 1966 –      ) 

As we stand up to pursue our dreams, there are times when it will look and feel like it will never happen. Many things will send us the message that it is hopeless and its never going to work out. These messages can come from the voices of past mistakes, people close to us, our status in life whether social or financial, or just simply our own stinking thinking. We must not allow those voices to impede our progress. We must push through it all. The most important voice is the one that told us that we could do it in the first place. We know that voice, it is the real us. We must not allow that voice to be silenced by the others. Push through my friends. For most of us, it’s only half time. Remember this too, that the most important thing about life, is not about how you started or where you are right now, but how you finish. As a coach in athletics, I would always end practice with some kind of running for my young athletes. When they would line up for their last running drill, I would always say to them, “Finish Strong.” I say the same to you, FINISH STRONG MY FRIENDS!!!

Power Quote:

He that perseveres makes every difficulty an advancement and every contest a vivtory.

Charles Caleb Colton ( 1780 – 1832 )

Time is the the most valuble investment we can make into someone else. To give someone our real time is to give them a part of our life. Every second of every minute represents a part of our life. Make an investment in the life of those around you. Someone in your circle is starving for some of your time.

As every thread of gold is valuable, so is every minute of time.
