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.)

Saturday Briefing: Thriving in a New Reality

Posted on November 7, 2020 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

The ONE THING: Life is never static; change is inevitable and every change changes reality.  Sometimes the change is so drastic that we find ourselves living in a new reality–there is no going back to how things were.  When that happens, those who adapt and adjust thrive, those who don’t are left behind.     Continue reading →

You’re better than this

Posted on March 6, 2020 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

The question is not, “Can you do better?” No matter your situation the answer is yes. Whether you are flipping hamburgers for minimal wages, flipping homes for thousands, or flipping stocks and bonds for millions, and whether you love what you’re doing or hate every minute of what you’re doing, you can and must do … Continue reading →

Playing good defense

Posted on March 5, 2020 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Is the current state of your life acceptable? This is a question we must honestly answer from time to time. Great coaches almost universally agree; a great defense makes winning possible. The question: “Is the current state of my life acceptable?” is a defense question. You’re not saying your life couldn’t be better or should’t … Continue reading →

Getting better without changing

Posted on November 27, 2019 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Don’t confuse getting better at who you are with changing what you are. The truth is, people seldom really change, they just become better (or worse) at being who they are. My wife is an excellent example.  I have been married to Sonja for over 41-years and I can honestly say that she is still … Continue reading →

If Elvis comes knocking…

First it was “low-fat,” or “reduced-fat,” or “no-fat” that was celebrated.  Remember that? All you had to do was put “reduced/low” fat” or (hallelujah!) “no fat” on the package and whatever you were selling would leap off the shelf…and onto our hips.  They failed to mention that all those low-fat products were loaded with sugar. … Continue reading →

There’s something to be said for evolution

Posted on October 30, 2019 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

The word “evolution” evokes a lot of emotions.  I get it, but I also understand that at some level things do indeed evolve.  Call it change, improve, progress, or develop if it makes you feel better.  But life is not static.  Circumstances, culture, methods, technology—all change.  And to ignore this fact and to rigidly insist … Continue reading →

Are you okay with how things are?

Posted on October 15, 2019 by pastorkemp • 2 Comments

Most would agree with the statement, “If you keep doing what you’ve been doing, you’ll keep getting what you’ve been getting.”  But the question that must be asked is: “Are you okay with that?”  If you are okay with how thing currently are, then don’t change.  If you aren’t, change. The ONE THING for today: … 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 →

You can change!

Posted on August 27, 2019 by pastorkemp • 4 Comments

I was a horrible student until 1993. It wouldn’t have been so bad if I had not been in a profession that required me to prepare a new sermon every week.  (Back in those days it was actually three sermons a week—Sunday morning, Sunday night, and Wednesday night.) I can’t begin to describe to you … Continue reading →
