  • Vow of Integrity

    May 25, 2009

    devotional
    Set: 

    Integrity isn’t just something you display when you’re out in public or on the job. It also carries over to your family, to your kids, to your neighbors, to everybody who comes into contact with you. Am I saying things to my family like, “This is what I want you to do,” but I don’t necessarily do them? Am I saying, “This is what we’re going to be all about as a family,” but maybe next week it won’t be? I think that’s very confusing and it’s important to let my family know here are our standards, the Lord’s standards. This is what we’re going to try to live up to. Sure we’re going to fail at times and we’re going to fall short, but this is what we need to be about.

  • Worry Less

    May 21, 2009

    devotional
    Set: 

    OK, I admit it. I worry too much. I worry about work, worry about my family, worry, worry, worry. And it always seems like for every worry I have, I gain 10 pounds. Talk about being weighed down! We all struggle with it from time to time.

    How do we get rid of the baggage that worry brings? Well, that is easy—leave it at the cross. Which, as we all know, is easier said than done. However, the second part of today’s verse is quite helpful. When I tend to worry too much, I find myself encouraging others more. I love to encourage others and brighten their days. Encouragement is fuel to our lives. It keeps our tanks full and overflowing.

    Life After Death

    Retracing the steps of Tre’ Kelley’s childhood is a sobering, sometimes harrowing, task.

    To start, you must visit the areas of Washington, D.C., that aren’t in any travel brochures. You must go into the neighborhoods of the Northeast where vice is readily available — where the sounds of “Pop! Pop! Pop!” and the ensuing drone of police sirens, like banshees wailing in the night, are a familiar dirge. Only a short drive from the city’s majestic monuments and stately halls of legislature, it is worlds apart. No one goes sightseeing in this part of town.

    Fit 4 Ever: Put God's Design to the Test!

    In America, we believe that we can make everything better. In fact, we relentlessly pursue improvement. And this can often be a good thing! It can make us examine our hearts and actions and get right with God and others. It can bring new advances in medicine, travel, industry and the environment. It can even help us discover and understand God in new and deeper ways.

    But many times our efforts to improve on God’s design give us a far inferior result.

    article

    Every morning, I have a routine once I get to the office.

    1. Fire up the computer - 8:00 A.M.
    2. Delete the spam from my e-mail account (while eating a couple pieces of toast).
    3. Head to “Morning Glory,” the corporate prayer time of the FCA National Office.
    4. Transition into prayer time with the Communications/Marketing Department.
    5. Edit and send out the daily Impact Play e-mail devotion.
    6. Start the day - 9:30 A.M.

    I’ll be honest. Prior to writing this story, bullet point number five wasn’t that much of a landmark in my day.

  • A Day in the Life

    A Day in the Life

    Last December, STV asked Leah Rush, starting power forward of the nationally ranked University of Oklahoma women’s basketball team, to give readers a peek into her daily routine by logging a game-day journal.

    Rush agreed and kept a dairy on Dec. 20, the day of the Sooners’ homecourt showdown with Ohio State, which was then a match-up between the third- and eighth-ranked teams in the country. To that point, the Sooners were undefeated on the season, but the Buckeyes stunned OU that night with a 74-67 upset. Certainly this journal looks different than Rush expected, but that’s life — a day in the life of a college athlete.
