One Day

One Day

24 Hours

1440 Minutes 

86,400 Seconds 

It takes One Day to change your life. 

It takes One Day to turn it all around.

Imagine if everyone in the world decided today would be that "One Day"  

It starts with us...right now!

Every decision we make is shaping our future and the people in our midst.

Every time we decide to be passive 

Every time we decide to ignore the oppressed

Make tomorrow your today

Make next time THIS TIME   

In the song One Day by Matisyahu, he hammers home HOPE.  Hope that One Day the world will be a much different place.  A place of peace, A place of freedom, No condemnation

The Power Of Thr33

Three (3) is a very common number in the world we live in TIME (Past, Present, Future) SPACE (Height, Width, Depth) MATTER (Solid, Liquid, Gas) THE NUMBER OF DIVINE PERFECTION. The Trinity consists of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. There are three qualities of the universe: Time, Space, and Matter. To exist (except for God) all three are required. Each quality consists of three elements. Therefore, we live in a trinity of trinities (Matt Slick, 2016)  Samuel is called by the Lord 3 times before he realizes it and answers. Satan tempts Jesus 3 times before giving up. It is on the third day of creation that Earth is made. The placard on the Cross is written in 3 languages. Jesus raised 3 people from the dead, Lazarus, a widow’s son, and the daughter of a man named Jairus.(FLAMEHORSe, SEPTEMBER 20, 2012) Peter Denies Jesus Three Times  Three Nails Were Used In the Crucifixion Three Were Crucified (Jesus, Thief 1, Thief 2)  Jesus Was Raised Three Days Later  From the truths I see in God's word and in creation I believe that three is a number of completion.  It is a number that God clearly established as significant.   I know that I have had confirmations come in threes in my own life.  I use the number for encouragement and edification  When I meet someone knew I say their name three times in my head to remember. Three Times Charm Rocks Paper Scissor I encourage you to examine where the number three may be apparent in your life and if it holds any significance to you.

Remember Me

"But now, thus says the Lord, your Creator, O Jacob,And He who formed you, O Israel,“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;I have called you by name; you are Mine" 

Isaiah 43New American Standard Bible (NASB)

There is power in your name.  How great is the feeling when you meet someone at the gym or at work for the first time and when you see them again a few days later they call out your name, "BRENDAN!" passing by.  I know for me it always makes me smile.  I had always felt bad when I met someone and could not remember their name.  It's terrible when someone knows your name and you forgot theirs....that is when you return the greeting with a "What's Up My Man!" 

Now, whenever I meet someone  for the first time I make sure I write down a note in my phone or in my log so I will not forget.   

When you remember someone's name, it shows...

1. That you have a good memory

2. You value them 

3. You connected 

Next time you meet someone new, remember their name so you will be ready to call it out when you see them again.  

Give Me A Snake & I'll Make A Nice Pair Of Boots

"Give me a snake and I'll make a nice pair of boots with, yeah" - Andy Mineo 

Listen to the song  Desperados by Andy Mineo

If you give me a snake I will make a nice pair of boots with it!  I picture a pair of really nice boots wrapped in snake skin, polished to perfection, ready for the whole world to see. The first time I listened to this song that verse about making boots stood out to me.

After listening to it more an more I began to use the verse to encourage people.  At our training evolution's I used it as motivation, yelling out loud TIME TO MAKE SOME BOOTS before a set of 25 to 30 pull ups.  If you give me a snake I will make a nice pair of boots with it! YEAH!  One candidate really took the affirmation to heart.  Candidate Mitchell who is a brother of mine.  At tough points during our training he would yell back to me, "HOOYAH Micik Make Some Boots"

I love this verse! If i could go back to senior year, you know it would be under my picture in that 07 year book.  

The verse is POSITIVE, it puts that when life gives you lemons quote to shame.  It encourages all people to make the best out of what they get.  To receive it with thanks and make one nice looking pair of boots.  

SO GO OUT TODAY AND TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE, DON'T ALLOW THE SNAKE TO TREAD ON YOU, DEFEAT THE SNAKE AND LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW ABOUT IT.
