“A discerning heart seeks knowledge” Proverbs 15:14 Okay, I don’t know if anyone else is struggling; emotionally, physically, and mentally but this season of COVID and political unrest has me experiencing all three. If you know me personally or would talk to anyone who knows me, they will tell you I am sometimes too strong for my own good. At times I need to step back and see where my life is out of whack. Not now, daily I feel like I am in a battle. This is a spiritual battle beyond any I have ever experienced. Read More

I want to finish the race well, and now I am racing! God is saying to me and you whatever you finish in your day is all I want from you. Let me deal with the future! Matthew 6:34“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today. Read More
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 In May, I tested positive for COVID, and Terry also a few days later. I remember, only hours before, spending time during my morning prayer expressing to God how frustrated I was with all the controversial information coming in from the media, the government, and social media about Covid. I told God that I wish He would just show me what was true and what was over-exaggerated. I asked Him how I could find out what Read More
“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! Deuteronomy 30:19 NLT During this season, we are bombarded with voices coming from every direction. There are medical experts telling us that we need to shut everything down to stop the spread of Covid. There are business owners who are hurting and struggling to survive who are telling us to open things up so that the Read More

WHY AM I ALWAYS RUSHING? THREE WAYS TO HELP YOU SLOW DOWN Psalm 90:12 ESV So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. There is a world phenomenon happening – time is speeding up every day. “Not so, sorry!” There truly are 24 hours in every day, no more no less. What is happening then? There are just more demands put on us every single day, and there is no way of getting away from those demands.

When you have tasted possibilities. It is very difficult to settle for the impossibilities. Quote by Myles Munroe Read More
“…so in Christ, we who are many forms one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us.” Romans 12:5-6 Why is it so essential to create a company culture? The divination of culture is the characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people, encompassing language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music, and arts. Thus, it is the growth of a group identity fostered by social patterns unique to that group. In this day of such diverse cultures, coming together under the operation within companies, we need to be able Read More
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 This has been a difficult month for our family; our 42-year-old son had a major heart attack. He is healing but has discovered he has a heart disease which he will have to deal with for the rest of his life. What does this have to do with business and “what ifs”? Well, this life event Read More
“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.” 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 I am interrupting our communications series for a very urgent message. Yes, we are in a battle against a virus but more so, as Christians in business, we are in a profoundly serious battle in the spiritual realm. The world is fighting for human lives and financial stabilization, but we as Christians are on a different Read More
Understanding Communications in Business First Impressions – How Do They Play a Role in Our Business? “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 First impressions are the most important part of communicating your business’s message. Think about it, all your current clients at one time listened to what you said and/or watched your actions to decide whether to be in a relationship with you and your company. Yes, we must always remember our businesses are built Read More
Understanding Communications in Business Build your Prospect DataBase! “Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men” Ephesians 6:7 Over the next several months I will be sharing with you different areas of communications that affect your business, negatively or positively. Selling advertising is one of the hardest type of sales in the marketing and sales arena. Why? Because we do not have a physical product and our customers cannot use any of their senses to buy our product. What we sell is hope, and how do you justify ROE (return on investment) on hope. I have learned Read More
Proverbs 11:2 ESV When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom. You would be surprised where a prideful spirit can take you! Pride is sneaky and hard to uncover and can show up as actions that would seemingly be a rightful response to people or situations. I tend to be of a breed of strong women just as the women in my family before me. This can be an amazing trait for business. I am also verily analytical, so I do not step into a situation or concern that arises before I have done my Read More
Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires, but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. Romans 8:5 COVID and these times of racial tensions have created an uncertainty to one extent or another in all of us. As our human nature will have it, we are drawn into a place of fear and doubt. We mistakenly let our flesh override our Spirit and “our wisdom” to take the easiest way out – The Blame Game! Someone has to Read More
Don’t waste this time of isolation Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! Psalm 46:10 NKJV My temptation during this time of isolation is trying to fill the empty spaces with activity. We get addicted to busyness, and there are times when I feel guilty if I am not continually actively involved in doing things that are “productive”. Some of the greatest, most impactful, most enduring results have come from a season of inactivity. Many of the Apostle Paul’s writings were birthed out of a Read More
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests but also to the interests of others.” Phil 2:3-4 This time of COVID is a time that we all feel out of control. Ask anyone who knows me, and they will tell you I have controlling tendencies. If you ask them in front of me, I will deny it profusely. My rationales will be “I am not controlling; I am a solution seeker. If someone else would take control before a Read More
The Past is History, the Future a Mystery and the Present is a Gift Where are you mentally living today? It is interesting to me that every night as I lay my head down to sleep, my first thought isn’t “Oh, my goodness it feels so good to lay my head on my pillow, in my comfortable bed. Thank you, Lord, that I can lay my head to rest.” No, I start thinking about what I didn’t get finished and what I need to do tomorrow. I think that this is an act of not living in today. Read More
A Slave Set Free! “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” Luke 16:13 Did you know that the United States Congress passed the amendment abolishing slavery on January 31, 1865? That same amendment was ratified on December 6, 1865. The 13th amendment abolished slavery in the United States and provides that, “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, Read More
By Terry Magee Under His direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love. Eph 4:16 NLT. The Body of Christ is made effective through relationships, or as the KJV says, “that which every joint supplies”. Each of us is a vital part of God’s plan for His kingdom to be established here on earth. But our part is of little value until it is joined or fitted together with the other parts of Read More
