The ONE THING

The random ruminations of a man on the run. The goal is to run this race of life well, encouraging as many as I can along the way, and to eventually meet my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and thank Him for the trip. (I am also prone to shamelessly brag on my perfect grandchildren.)

The ONE THING for today

When you must make a decision, Part 1

Posted on September 30, 2019 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

Here’s a primer on decision making (which I learned mostly the hard way) Make a decision only when there exist two or more options. I know, that is so obvious. But how many times have you found yourself fussing and fretting about things that are above your pay grade? Face it, there are some decisions … Continue reading →

Today could be different

Posted on September 29, 2019 by pastorkemp • 4 Comments

The way to see things grow, improve and get better is to do something different. Grit, determination, and working harder are good, but they will not improve a thing unless you do something different. Because you demonstrate tenacity and persistence will not matter if you do not do something different. You don’t have to blow … Continue reading →

Root canals don’t last forever

When a problem comes your way, if your default is to look for an escape route, just know that you are sabotaging your life. The answer to your problems and difficulties is seldom running away, it is solving the problem. This will require growth on your part. And the good news is that grow doesn’t … Continue reading →

Beyond fear

Posted on September 26, 2019 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

Your success is beyond the border of fear. Like breaking the sound barrier, you will never truly succeed in life until you’ve turn your back on living safe and step into the unknown. The ONE THING for today: I’m not saying it is easy, I’m saying naming your fears and pushing through them is what … Continue reading →

You’re not finished until…

Posted on September 25, 2019 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

You’re not finished until you have answered the question: “How can I make this better next time?” I believe it was Peter Drucker who penned, “Unless one has considered alternatives, one has a closed mind.” Not only can you have a closed mind, you can have a closed life. It is so easy to “go … Continue reading →

If you can’t do it…

Posted on September 24, 2019 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

If you really and truly can’t do it, then quit talking about it and stressing about it and do something else. Limitations are a necessary part of progress. A hundred options is a horror. One option, while terrifying, at least gives you focus. (“This one thing I do”, Philippians 3:13). Hopefully you’re somewhere in the … Continue reading →

What are you hoping for today?

Posted on September 24, 2019 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Don’t limit hope to just a feeling (“I hope things work out.”). Hope is much more than a feeling, it is something you do, something you commit yourself to achieve. A good question to ask yourself each day is: “What am I hoping for today?” Once you’ve clearly answered that question, then commit yourself to … Continue reading →

Stop tweaking it!

Posted on September 23, 2019 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

There comes a point that adding one more thing, rearranging it one more time, and having one more meeting is not going to help a thing. Let it go and start the show! The ONE THING for today: Better to do something worthwhile imperfectly than to succeed perfectly at doing nothing. Continue reading →

Throwing rocks

Posted on September 22, 2019 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Dranafile “Drana” Bernai, the mother of Mother Teresa admonished her famous daughter: “When you do good do it as if you were casting a stone into the depth of the sea.” Good advice. The ONE THING for today: When reaching out to others, beware of attaching so many strings to your efforts that you end … Continue reading →
