Ash Wednesday 2-17-10
Hi everyone ! it has been a while ince I blogged and that changes today. I am making some personal commitments today to (Ash Wednesday) to prepare myself through Lent for the Easter Celebration. The highlight of the year for Christians is Easter, the day when our Lord rose from the dead. Lent is a forty-day season of preparation for Easter. Lent always begins on a Wednesday, called Ash Wednesday. Why 40 days? Because, Jesus fasted and was ...Thank You Bill!!
Vikkie & I Had an amazing party at the Pastors house last night for all the Stephen Ministers on our Ministry team. The abundance of caring and concern for others even in the average conversations was so immensely inspiring for us. It was such a nice surprise to get word from the Stephen Ministry leader at the party that the outreach ministry had received their check for $5,000.00 from Bill Phillips Transformation in my Name. I was so e...Denver - A Retrospective I

I received A wonderful note & copy of this devotional (from Oct. 2 1986) along with A pledge form from some wonderful & Inspiring friends at Church this past Sunday.

As I struggled A bit through my run/walk on this past Saturday morning I found A point in my journey that was rather difficult to push through.But, buried in the back of my mind, Almost a forgotten lesson that I had learned,resurfaced and began to come through loud and clear when I listened to that quiet voice inside. I was at a place that I was at my most vulnerable. I was at that place when I was running on empty, tired and aching, Pulling fro...9-12-09 Great Self Inventory Today
This morning @ 6 AM was a moment of this journey that will hold a permanent spot as a Benchmark to Denver. I mapped out exactly 13.1 miles as a route of exploration for not only my body but my mind and spirit. The cool Darkness seemed to mask the day ahead as I prepared myself to "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway"(Assignment #15) I was thankful to God for a clear cool morning even though in the back of my mind a rainy mo...9-11 Time To Face The Fear
I think today of the bravery and sacrifice of all those heroic men and women that gave of themselves without thought of personal peril. My younger brother is A leutenant at the local fire department and I have nothing but respect for a young man that gives the way these you men and ladies do. Thank all of you men and women that give so much to help us all in the worst moments of our lives. You are real life heroes. Tonight and the last 2 wee...8-7-09 YOU CAN Answer the Call
My wife Vikkie and I were the chars of membership at our church and as part of our welcome to visitors we would create baskets for them to take with them which included some bread. We turned to church member who managed a local Panera to see if we could get a discount for the church and she told us that they had no one to pick up the leftovers for charity on Saturday nights.But there was a hitch, We had to take all the leftovers if we took the n...8-1-09 In The Balance
As I type this blog this morning there are thoughts of Spiritual intent buzzing in my head. Where is my life being directed?, What is my next step toward fulfilling the sacred responsibility God has renewed me for? How will I honor him through my future actions? Now in this next instance there are thoughts of education like how long will it take me to finish the NASM intro to physical fitness program Kathy directed me to (thank you Kathy!)? What...7-22-09 Assignment #4
Transformation Assignment #4 - The Power of Purpose What’s the point? I can remember this question popping up in my mind over and over and over again over the last 10 years. Every time I began to fall on hard times or things didn't go my way I would assume the role of the biggest victim of the cruel world controlled by all these people that were out to knock down poor poor Dave. Ha Ha Ha !! It is laughable to me now when I...7-21-09 Today - Just One Day
One day I finally knew what I had to do, and began, though the voices around me kept shouting their same old limiting beliefs. One day I felt the warmth of the spirit inside of me, and prayed, I have never looked back from then, though the evil one still lurks. One day I checked my ego at the door, and surrendered, The power I gained was from Him, though the limit is my own. One day I saw a change, And smiled, though I still hold o...7-20-09 Assignment #2 & #3

I pushed hard as we all do when the pressure is on and really crushed it those last 4 - 5 weeks to be certain I hit my...7-20-09 Assignment #1
Today I am posting assignment #1 in my Blog because one of the things that was a tremendous help and great encouragement when I finished the last challenge was being able to go through the blogs I ha dposted and really draw the energy and change in my life outlook by re-reading old posts.

Daily Inspiration...... Show Me the Path Dear God, I admit that I have come to both love and hate the word "diet." On the one hand, it represents hope for change. On the other, it's like a sign flashing "Failure ahead!" I don't want to embark on another faulty plan, Lord. I want to embark on a journey with You that is led by You and depends on Your power. I can do nothing on my own! Sho...6-28-09 Unconditional Love
