This page contains the resources that I have found useful in my personal and professional life. Admittedly, it is an eclectic list. It contains everything from quotes and books that I like to podcasts, videos, and slideshows.
If you don’t want to scroll through the entire list, you can click on one of the links below and filter the resources by specific category.
I will update this list as I discover new resources. If you have a resource you think I should add, please email me.
Living In The Sacred Now (Eugene, OR: Harvest House Publishers, 2001)
This year, I am trying to ficus my life down and be more simplistic in what I do, to be more unhurried. And I learn best by reading, so I have gathered a list of books about rest, and Sabbath, and living unhurried, and biographies of those who have done so, to help me understand and achieve more of this in my own life.
One of the books I have decided to reread is Kim Thomas’ book, Living In The Sacred Now. This is a book with a series of very short chapters that are devotional in nature. She describes what it looks like to be immediately present in the moment, and not focused on what is behind, or what is to come.
I first read this about ten or twelve years ago, but I think it has a lot to offer for my thought process, especially in this area of my life. You may be interested in it as well. If this is an area you struggle in, I suggest you grab a copy and read it. You can’t get it from Amazon directly, but you can find it from several third party sellers there.
The last of the human freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances.

There is plenty of security in the cemetery; I long for opportunity.

When God wants to educate a man, He does not send him to the school of graces but to the school of necessities.

What is the difference between an obstacle and an opportunity? Our attitude toward it. Every opportunity has a difficulty, and every difficulty has an opportunity.
