Celebrate Labor Day With Our Texts
Our favorite labor-saving technology – aside from sliced bread, of course – is texting. It's convenient, timely, and a lot more reliable than the telegraph. It's also now available from the DFW Technology Prayer Breakfast. Thanks to Ministry by Text, our new opt-in...
How’s Your Health?
In a previous post, I revealed 2009 was my “Year of Hell” at the beginning of the year only to realize that it was my “Year of God” before the year had ended. God revealed Himself to me in ways I never thought possible. While He didn’t change the year’s events or...
Martin Luther on Why Work Matters
“If you ask an insignificant maidservant why she scours a dish or milks the cow, she can say, ‘I know that the thing I do pleases God, for I have God’s Word and commandment.’ God does not look at the insignificance of the acts but at the heart that serves Him in such...
A Syllabus for Work
With school about to begin, many students will get a syllabus laying out what they’ll need to do in each class to make the grade. It’s a great opportunity to reassess and set new goals.

High-Tech Farmers
A post about farming might seem strange for a blog from the Dallas/Fort Worth Technology Prayer Breakfast. But stay with me and see what you make of the connections. Agriculture is a common theme in Jesus’ teachings. Those parables can apply to our work, personal, and...
More Than Enough
I remember the moment like it was yesterday. A Tuesday morning sales meeting in my office in Addison, Texas, just like the meetings I still hold today. A co-worker came in and told us that a plane had just hit the north tower of the World Trade Center. Like many, I...
Is God Not Answering Your Prayers?
There was a point during 2009 when I called it my year of hell. Here’s how my calendar stacked up: January: There was a death in my extended family. February: I lost a job I thought was going to change my life. (It did but not like I expected.) March: My father died....
Where Do You Tilt?
Everything I needed to know I learned in Sunday School. Of course, it helps when you have a teacher like Dr. Bailey Smith. A couple of weeks ago, the evangelist and former Southern Baptist megachurch pastor shared some insights that reminded me why the DFW Technology...
