Today’s devotional couldn’t be more timely. If you’ve never felt alone, be thankful, I’ve unfortunately endured the feeling many times in my 43 years. I’m thankful today I do not feel alone. I’m thankful for friends I can talk too without judgement, and trust me, that’s a big step for me, as it’s often friends who can hurt you the most. I heard a pastor say, don’t get bitter, get better. It’s tough some days pastor. Big personalities often face big challenges. I can’t pretend that I knew Lane well. We met a few times. No need to say sorry for my loss, it’s probably a “sorry for all our loss.” I didn’t know the man well, but I can see the impact he left on so many. Today is not a day to quarrel over why, for those close to him those days will be plenty and unfortunately no satisfactory answer may emerge; today is a day to say thank you, thank you for being who you were, for the joy you brought to our lives. I wish I knew him better, it’s sounds like I really missed out on his story. Hope you found peace brother, I hope your cup is so full you can send some peace our way.

Thought for the day…

Sometimes you can hit the place where you're feeling kind of alone. The Lord spoke to my heart some time ago about this issue through a book I was reading. The ache of aloneness our souls feel, and the pangs of hunger our stomachs feel send the same message: IT'S TIME TO EAT.

Do not isolate, retreat, or cocoon. Instead, eat—feast on fellowship. Feed your soul by reaching out, connecting with, and serving another person. Nothing satisfies the hungry heart more than meaningful, soul-level connection with another human being. Your heart is sending you a message when you're feeling alone. The message is, Feed me with fellowship.

The origin of our English word fellowship is a medieval term which meant "two souls on the same side of a struggle."It is safe to say that loneliness is a choice. So is fellowship. Choose wisely today.

😬 Geez, what a wonderful devotion this morning. That might be the best few paragraphs I’ve read all year.

Thought for the day ...

Several years ago, I read a book titled Halftime written by Bob Buford. In it he stated that he spent the first half of his life seeking success. In the second half, his passion focused on significance. To me, significance and influence are synonymous. And, in my thinking, influence is the shadow we cast upon the lives of others as we walk through life.

The quality of my shadow is directly related to the integrity of my character. Therefore, focusing on who I am when I am all alone and no one is looking becomes the proving ground for my significance. I so want to make a positive difference in the lives of those whose paths I cross, and whose lives I engage. That is why I must focus on purity of heart and mind. I must ferret out and eliminate any hidden, destructive agendas that I may have. I must be willing to love, to put myself out there, expecting nothing in return. I must seek to serve and not be served.

I know the desire to make a difference in others' lives is a passion we were all born with. If yours has diminished into a smoldering ember, may these words fan it into flame again. The world needs people like you. And I believe you have, are, and will continue to positively influence a broken world with a hope and power than comes from another world!

Thought for the day...

Fear is something to be moved through, not something to be turned back by.

It would completely depress us if we became instantly aware of all the joys we have missed, the victories we have never won, and the relationships we never enjoyed because of our fears. Fear often causes us to either fight, freeze or flee. I suggest we adopt another "F" word - FACE. I have faced a lot of my fears in in the past several years, and in so doing have reaped a more satisfying and joyful life.

I am determined to no longer live as a spiritual orphan—I have a heavenly Father who takes care of me. There are two truths that sustain me during the times of great trial and uncertainty:
1 Nothing touches me that does not first pass through the hands of my heavenly Father—nothing. What He allows to enter my life has an overriding good purpose that will make me a better son.
2 Everything I experience in life prepares me to be a better servant—everything. The apostle Paul said we comfort others with the same comfort we received from God in our trials (II Corinthians 1:4).
So, my friends, face your fears today with the confidence that God is on your side, and since He is for you, who or what can be against you (Romans 8:31)?

Day 2 of the Post-Frame Builder Show 👏 If your here make sure to come by and see us!

Thought for the day…

German philosopher Immanuel Kant wrote, "Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of a few; and number not voices, but weigh them."

In Luke 6:26 (MSG) it says, "There's trouble ahead when you live only for the approval of others, saying what flatters them, doing what indulges them. Popularity contests are not truth contests—look how many scoundrel preachers were approved by your ancestors! Your task is to be true, not popular."

Wow. Hard hitting, huh? We should live our lives for an audience of One—The Lord God! His opinion and approval should be the first we seek after and live for. Being a Christ-follower often requires us to stand alone in a world full of compromise. Real heroes are understood by only a few—other heroes.

As you begin your day, ask God for the courage to be true, not just popular. In the end, it's the road to glory.

Having a blast at the post frame builders show in Branson, MO.

Great to see some familiar faces of exhibitors while here. We’re discussing podcast, marketing, and RTO for those post frame manufacturers who cross over into portable storage.

I heard today of a report that said that 40% of post frame builders also build sheds. 🤔

Any of you guys expand into others structures? Some days it’s hard to know where one industry stops and another begins.

Thought for the day …

We all want a bright future filled with productivity, successful relationships, peace, prosperity, and joy. Most, if not all of us, want a Christ-centered future that honors Him first and foremost. Thing is, most of us hope for such a future, and then just wait to see what shows up.

We must strategize to create the future we want to live in. To a great degree, our thoughts create our future. The Bible says, "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7). So it starts with right thinking, that translates into right action, coupled with dogged determination, all saturated with God's grace and empowering Presence. Then the future we want, that He wants, becomes ours.

Dear friend, don't sit idly by waiting for something good to come to you. With God's help, do your part in creating the future you want to live in.
