10 Ways to Get More Followers on Twitter (text version)

From the very beginning (November 2008) my mindset on Twitter has been: I follow everybody. I think it’s only polite. (I’m weird that way.) Twitter is a social media network. Twitter is built around following people ~ and following back. And so I follow, follow and follow some more (and hope for reciprocation). It’s the […]

Electrifying 3:16 (Football, a Bible Verse and a Quarterback Named Tim)

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) On the first play from scrimmage in overtime Denver Bronco quarterback Tim Tebow stunned the Pittsburgh Steelers with an 80-yard touchdown pass to win in the first round […]

Don’t You Dare

The phone rang. On the other end was a daughter’s desperate plea. “Dad is dying. And he’s backslidden.” His parents had been pastors. And they were gone. (“To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.”) They had been praying for their son a long, long time. And can you just […]

Crisis

Things come along in life and we find ourselves at a loss on how to deal with it. (Ever happen to you?) It could be the loss of a job and you’re 50. (There’s not much of a market for 50-year olds.) It could be the development of a deadly disease in your body. (“I’m […]

God’s Plan for Me and You, Too

“‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.’” (Jeremiah 29:11) It’s important to have a plan. A plan is like a target. It gives you something to aim at, shoot for, strive after. It offers […]

Eternal Life Coach
