Problem/Solution...

photo credit: NKPhillipsProblem/Solution Most of us have heard the old saying,”for every problem there is a solution”! Many times it helps us discern the solution much better if we completely understand the problem. I have found through the years when discussing the Bible and sharing my faith in Jesus that I encounter many now that have believed the lie that there are many roads or paths to God, and Christ’s sacrifice has simply been added as just, one of the ways to God. I have heard the analogy that every road or path leads to God. I travel quite a bit with my occupation...

Making Right Decisions...

photo credit: AperturePriority My speaking engagement at Naomi Elementary School’s Red Ribbon Week seemed to go well. The children appeared to respond to the message of, Just Getting Over Life’s Obstacles. The topic was to make right decisions against drugs. I shared the story about my cousin who made wrong decisions about drugs and was killed at the young age of 18. I also shared my dad’s struggles with Alcohol use and the hurdles our family had to get over because of the impact those wrong decisions created. I told them not to trust the TV Marketing where...

The Hidden Handicap – Inferiority...

When I speak on the topic of the  different Hidden Handicaps that many individuals deal with on a daily basis I always try to first share my appreciation and respect to those whose Handicaps or rather, “Challenges,” which are obvious such as, blindness,  someone wheelchair bound, amputees , deformities and many others who have overcome these obstacles and have gone on to achieve their own personal goals. I have been blessed in the physical and athletic arena and I have experienced very few injuries through the years, but I can speak proficiently regarding the,...

30 Year Car Hurdling Anniversary!...

Jumpin’ Jeff Clay of Fort Oglethorpe on Saturday attempted to hurdle 30 cars — five at a time — in one hour to celebrate his 30th anniversary of car jumping. Five Saturn Sky’s were lined up and Jeff attempted to hurdle them six times. The cars measured around fifty inches high, nearly two feet higher than a regulation hurdle. On the fourth round of jumping, Jeff pulled a ham string after car No. 4, causing him to call it a day. “I’ve got some money saved,” Clay said jokingly. “But I wasn’t planning on buying a new Saturn.” The event was held at the Lakeview-Fort...

Mission Trip...

I will have the unique opportunity to share the Gospel with a nomadic tribe of people, who are known as the Turkanna. They are cousins to the Musai warriors. We have the honor of taking the Jesus video to them, translated in their own language, so they could hear and see the Gospel for the first time in most of their lives. We will have to travel 2 1/2 days after we arrive just to get to their tribe in the bush country. This will...

Define your IT then, “Just Get Ove...

Defining your IT is a lot like the person who goes to their first AA meeting and sits down with the assembled group as they one-by-one stand up and come to the podium and states, “Hello, my name is John Doe and I am an Alcoholic!” You see, you cannot define it, if you will not acknowledge it exists! It is so comical how people talk about neighbors, relatives, friends, strangers in the mall and the poor soul on TV about how dysfunctional they are. We can...

“My dad, my IT!”...

photo credit: merfam Just Get Over IT! Ch.2 My Dad, My IT! Well, as I shared in Chapter one, and I know you all will now agree, that each one of us has our own unique it or its. Obviously, I would not be writing this book if I did not have an it or two of my own. To begin speaking of my own personal struggles, and ultimately my victories over them, I will have to go back to my childhood. I’ll discuss the “challenged,” sometimes nonexistent relationship between Don (my dad) and myself. I will use my dad’s first name throughout this chapter because “Dad” was not...

Understanding Unforgiveness...

photo credit: Artwerk Several years ago, as you may remember, there was a terrible crime committed in a small Amish community. In an austere town, where there was little if any crime, the children were at school learning and playing with their peers. They had few worries or concerns  that day as their teacher lovingly poured her knowledge into them. This day would be different though. Just as quick as turning off a light,  a man walks into that class room and randomly shoots and kills the teacher and several of her students, shedding their innocent blood! After the...

The Clay Mold for Setting & Attaini...

I had the honor of speaking at the S.E.TN Fellowship of Christian Athletes 2009 Annual Breakfast. I shared with them an 8 step system of Setting and Attaining Goals that I have employed time and time again with much success. It was this system that allowed me to set my Guinness World Record of hurdling over 101 cars in 38 minutes and many other personal, athletic and business goals over the last 30 years. I am persuaded that you can apply these same methods to your life and achieve the same results. The following are the notes I used for this speaking engagement and I would...
