I like this one. It is the last one and it is the kind of rule you would expect having read the book and learned about the author. I think this is the spark in his life that has made him successful and made the story of his life worth reading. He led a life… Continue reading Big D, little d: Rule 25 – Help Others Achieve Their Dreams

So once again I have been a little liberal in the rule for the day. The rule actually states do good for good people even when they are down on their luck. The first problem I have with the rule is who are the good people. The rule also says to follow the rule in… Continue reading Big D, little d: Rule 24 – Be Kind to Those in Need

I modified this rule a little to highlight the possibilities. In the book, the author identifies people to hire as those being a 10, i.e. the best of the best. His fundamental standpoint was that when he had a position open, he would hire the best person he could. Kind of the same as the… Continue reading Big D, little d: Rule 23 – Find a 10, Hire that 10

Peter 10 Apparently, when I made the division up on this last lesson, I had a lot of reading time open. This is a lot to take in all at once, but perhaps it will be easier than it seems. Acts 9:32-43 Peter saved two people from death and many believed in Christ due to… Continue reading Peter 10 of 10 A Life to Glorify God

Short, but meant to go along with reading the verses. Readings & Questions: Acts 3:1-10 In your experience how does this relate to MIRACLES in other religions?  This one was mainly for provoking thought. Acts 3:11-26 For man or God? This is an obvious response as we are to follow God or else we are… Continue reading Peter: Part 9 of 10: – Questions, Miracles, Study

This is a no brainer rule, right? This past weekend, we went to the lake and those without bad knees or other valid excuses, tried to stand on a board the boat was pulling. Those trying fell, and fell, and fell, and fell, and fell, and fell, and failed. When I was no longer a… Continue reading Big D, little d: Rule 22 – Fail to Learn

Hogwash. Worry is an emotion that can cause serious problems. What was this guy thinking? Well, he knows we all experience worry or at least the feeling that worrying is the thing to be doing or experiencing. Our Pastor had a sermon a few weeks ago where he told us that a person’s feelings don’t… Continue reading Big D, little d: Rule 21 – Worrying is an active, liberating activity?

For the curious, I have five blog groupings working. Most this year have been the rules, today is part of Peter, (the two of which I will finish posting over the next week or so), one on Job, one on a book Mastering Life, and a totally random one. The totally random ones get written… Continue reading Peter Part 8 of 10 – The Power of the Holy Spirit

Life can be a lot like shopping. Some people have no money and never go shopping. Some people have so much money they go shopping and buy it all. Some people go shopping because everyone else is. Some people shop with a plan. Some people shop as a process. Be those people. When I was… Continue reading Big D, little d: Rule 20 – Make Decisions When You Are Ready
