Press On Through Your Struggles

I was reading the Bible study recently during a quiet time and came across Phillipians 3: 12-14: Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet…

Who Hates Lawyers…Raise Your Hand

I was reading a post today from SC Trial Lawyer, David Swanner, titled “Why People Don’t Like Lawyers” and it tells of a horror story (for lawyers anyway) about a lawyer going off in a doctor’s office about how she is a lawyer and she knows the law and you can’t ask for such and…

God, Give me Strength!

I continued my reading through Nehemiah this morning and got to a chapter that I have been looking forward to (Nehemiah 6). At this time, the Jews had completed the wall, except for installing the gates. And Sanballat and Tobiah continued their antics in trying to prevent Nehemiah and the Jews from completing their task….

Where’s the Real [Blank]? Dressing the Part

One of the things I learned early on in my practice is that when you are young you have to do some things to make yourself appear more experienced – like you know what you’re doing. One thing I do, is meet with prospective clients in my personal office where there is nice furniture, law…

Focus and Passion: Guarding The Wall From the Inside and Outside

In the fifth chapter of Nehemiah, there was an uprising by the Jews to Nehemiah about the hardships they were having to endure, specifically, that they were having to mortgage their land and sell children into slavery just to be able to afford to buy food and pay taxes. Can you imagine that? Having to…

Huge Plan Only to be Let Down

Have you every been so excited about something only to have it turn out to be a total let down?  You hear it all the time from newlyweds – “we worked the last nine months (or two years) planning our wedding and it came by so fast that I don’t remember anything!” Graduations are similar. …

Leaving a Permanent Impact

I was watching an episode of the “The Office” last week. I love that show. My wife hates it. I always love to try to look at life through the lens of Michael Scott. Last week’s episode began with Michael Scott excitedly running around the office telling everyone he needed something great to write in…

Multi-Tasking Is Mission Critical

Multi-tasking – the performance of multiple tasks at one time.  Can anyone really multi-task?  When you multi-task are one or all of your tasks completed at the highest level or are they somehow lacking?  I am guilty of trying to do too many things at one time.  I try to talk to my mom on…

They Grow Up So Fast

This past week, my 8 month old son seemed to grow up before my eyes. It was like a light bulb went off in his head. All of a sudden, he has three teeth and a fourth on the way. He got up off the floor and learned to crawl, and he’s been “talking” my…
